I could see us getting Watson. Karl isn't using him much in Denver. He plays behind Earl Boykins and Miller.

BTW, how the heck did they convince Watson that Denver was the right place for him? There were so many more appetizing destinations for him to further his career...

Does anyone else get tired of reading Briggs's posts about trades that the knicks have to make or players that are so much better than current knicks?

The grass is always greener on the other side. We're always more interested in the players we don't have than the ones we do have.

The grass usually is greener on the other side of 6-13.

True, but more trades aren't always the answer.



Posting trades, criticizng players--thats what these message boards are all about. If it was all rah-rah, these boards wouldnt be here.

In all seriousness, although I feel the Ny Knicks are going in the right direction--and let's face it we have a real advantage monetarily over other clubs--for all the money spent, I still feel were are in a precarious position both short and LONG term. I personally DO NOT feel comfortable with a great deal of the roster going forward, I think we lack intelligence, fundamentals and toughness. We have some nice pieces--and for goodnes sake--for what 300++++ million spent in the last two years youd think wed have magic johnson here in hsi prime and we dont---but a point I was trying to make above with the bosh.curry thing--lets not FOOL ourselves. I for one, do not see this progressing into a championship caliber club in any way shape or form. If the plan is to hold tight and let it develop--add here and there--all this money spent is going out the window for a couple of first round playoff appearances--eventually. I look at the young dominanat type players in our conference and we dont have any of them. We do have guys who can develop more and they both have big potential--but how many people here would trad eboth for dwight howard--lebron james, chris bosh--I would because I know one great in the nBA usually trumps 2 very good.
