Being a Knick's fan I've always rooted for the players who were on the team REGARDLESS of how they got there or if there were better players available. I don't understand bashing players who are on the team, of course every player has his shortcomings, but why drive it home every chance you get? I'm excited about the Knicks next year and I'm rooting for every player on that roster. I think that's how fans used to be until the internet age where everyone suddenly becomes a player scout and virtual gm. I'm guilty of it too but I'm not proud of it. I think we only should criticize players based on their performance while they are in a Knick uniform. For those who have yet to play a game as a Knick why don't we first give them a chance? I can't stand all the piss-poor attitudes of some of the alleged fans who seem to be more a fan of their own scouting abilities and predictions than the team.

dude, relax...anyone who's a knick fan & watches the games are going to be rooting for the players to do well, regardless if his name is Tim Thomas, Jerome James, Chris Dudley, Charles Smith or anyone else...doesn't mean we all have to bow down to every move the GM makes like a gay robot as if Isiah can do no wrong in our eyes...we're allowed to have opinions...this is a freakin sports message board...why else are you here?

As a gay robot I'm offended by that comment. Anyway, my point is that people are being too myopic--using stats to destroy players who haven't even seen action on the Knicks without even mentioning what value they may be to the team.

The reason we rooted for the likes of Dudley and Herb is becaue they played hard. They were bad but it was because they simply did not have the god given talent, or were really old by the time they got here.

Players like TT, whom I hate, is perfect example of why you hate a player on your team. He is a lazy bum who plays like a girl, or let me correct myelf, worse then a girl, as there are some good plaers in the wnba lol.

As for not likin new players, its not about not liking the players, its about not liking the cap situation. If there was no cap, I would not care one bit about gettin a bum like James for freakin maximum.

And another thing, we have seen these playes before, in James' case for several season in the NBA and he was always a joke. Just because he on our team doesn mean I have to liek a player I have no respect for.

I don't care if Reggie suddenly comes back andjoins the Knicks, I will alwasy hate him. Same for Tim Hardaway. Some guys you just can't stand.

And the thing is, many fans are very knowlegable about basketball, and they can see when a move is being made not to better the team, but for hype and ticekt sales.

And finally, this forum is for discussing the team, if you don't feel like discussin the team whats the point of coming here?

Is that the kind of brilliant analysis we've come to accept?

roblackman is a gay robot too? Cool, we're growing in #s. Who else is a gay robot? Which one is the one you were referring to who thinks Isiah can do no wrong?

i'd rather have stayed w/what we had, developed our young guys, & end up w/favorable lottery position along w/better cap flexibility in a couple year's time, but that's just me...if you're happy w/another 45 win season & the 1st or 2nd round of the playoffs w/no shot at winning a championship anytime soon, be my guest...i've already been there & done that my entire life rooting for this franchise.

once again, you are kidding yourself if you think frye can start at center
