for real, if its not PERFECT all the babies come out and cry.

i take it you've never criticized a move a GM of a team you root for made...must be great to wear rose colored glasses.

sure i've disagreed. but i still support my team, i dont go over the whatifs, and never-was-going-to-happen scenarios

Hey newyorkers, JJ will be coming in town with the tought process of being the starting center...He knows that he will have to earn his money, If Sweetney can learn how to stay out of foul trouble, thanks to Agwire, I look forward for James to learn the same techniques. After all, we have guys that can step in and produce if he is not on the court. This dude will average 28 minutes a game, with stats of: 12/6/2blks

Well... he's a better player today than when the Knicks originally wanted to sign him a few years back. He'll be very useful. It's odd when you see players sign for matching dollars to teams that don't seem to have a clear game plan.

He could have gone to just about any contender for the MLE.

we are a contender.

we're probably the only team that told him he would start for us.

On this board, that EXTREMELY clear cut...I figure if we got Kwame, it would have been split down the middle, possibly tilted towards NO.

So...snap out of it.

Did you know that a 39 yr old Mutombo had almost identical #s as 29 yr old James last season. In fact, Deke had 2.3 more rebounds per game.

MINS / PPG / REB / BLK / FG% / FT%
Deke 15.2 / 4.0 / 5.3 / 1.26 / .498 / .741
James 16.6 / 4.9 / 3.0 / 1.39 / .509 / .723

I really hope James proves that he's worth the contract.

what was motumbo's salary? I think it was TWICE JJ's...you get what you pay for? According to your logic, we got a bargain.

You guys have no idea what 5 million dollars buys you in this league...try comparing dollar for stat values and then we can start bringing out the hankies...for 5 million a year, this kid is a steal.

I welcome new ideas, especially when guys who have been around for an eternity continue to fail...

OK. You lost me again. How long has Herb been a head coach for the Knicks again? I mean, I know losing last year felt like an eternity but Herb was head coach for a half season.

i would've took wang zhi zhi over jerome james. if you remember, scott layden was courting james to come new york during the ewing replacement and now zeke all of a sudden picks him up.

does this makes james the most sought after center in knicks history?
