Lewis isn't THAT much better than Craw,

are you high?

Don't take it out of context.
Essentially what I was saying was:
Is Rashard Lewis worth Crawford and essentially 2 first round picks?
I don't know about that. Crawford is playing poorly this season, but think about last season, they weren't miles apart. Lewis was still better, but this year it just seems like more than it is. I think they have similar ceilings as players to be honest but Lewis is obviously fulfilling his promise whereas Craw has taken a huge step backwards in his production.

There's a lot of "never trade _______ guys" on this board, despite the fact that we are, at best, a mediocre team, with two erratic chuckers in craw and q. I don't think we should jump on briggs for making trade proposals or flipping out at our prospects, since we've seen enough in nyc over the past couple of years to know what a losing team looks like, and this team is showing a propensity for sucking balls. We really have to sit tight until our lottery pick is used up by the bulls, but if a trade comes along that improves the team, even if it involves your XXX hardcore fantasy boy stephon (or lee, ariza, nate, craw etc.), you jump on it.

Craw and Q is just not going to work. We need a higher talent level, we need more toughness, we need more consistent players--we could use some guys like a Jake Voshkul who do all the dirty work, but do it consitently. we have way to many inconsistent players to win consistently---comprende?

Why do people always panic after a loss? I hate to see the Knicks lose as much as the next guy, but I don't give up on my team as quick as some of you guys. I think if half of you were GM's we would have a diffrent lineup every night. I feel if the rookies get time to become consistent ball players than we will be better in the long run rather than picking up a flawed veteran. A lot of the guys being mentioned for trades have been in the league for years and have not won anything. So basically they are in the same boat as everybody on the Knicks. I would rather see our team grow then to keep a revolving door open after a blowout. It was unfortuate that they couldn't string back to back games together, but these guys are going to be a good team before this year is out. Patience youn padawan.

are you including me in this category? the only reason I approved of the mike miller trade is becuase fish's scenario didnt have us giving an unrecoverable amounnt of youth to get him and it will make us a better team. and the reason I want marbury traded, is becuase his contract is inexusable which is not something that happend after last nights loss, and also his ceiling as far as playing under brown goes is quite appharently lower than the worth of his contract.

yes they were. Get your head out of the highlight reels.

Lewis put up 21 and 6 on 46% frm 2 40% from 3 with a blk and a stl and Seattle won their division. Crawford was a senseless no defense playing non-rebounding long off-balance jump-shot taking chukker!

When you look at Lewis you see a player who is just super efficient. he is 26 and durable. He is long athletic knowledgeable and can beat you inside and out from the 3.

I personally would rather have Davis,partly because hesa better defensiev player and better all-around talent+he has no injury issues--but with that being said--why would the 9-5 Memphis Grizzlies who just went out and brought in vets to win--trade mike miller for ending contracts--thats not real, thats not happening, so i wont even think about it.

Ricky on the other hand, while he is playing like an all star--both he and pierce carry a crp team--they have way to many yooots--they needed to rebuild, and if they come to the conclusion that yes we will do it, the NY Knicks have the ending contracts to get them well-under the cap and also lets them tank the season so they can get that high pick they crave. OR they could be the team that shoves out yoots for vets--i would if i was them--but i dont think ainge wants to do that.

We could trade anyone on this team not drafted by us, with the possible exception of Curry, and I'd shed not a tear from these jaded eyes.
