Al Harrington Kenyon Martin????--I swear really not much in terms of fans knowledge of the game. Maybe Isiah is the right guy.

Right now the ONLY focus should be clearing out players who have turned this into a litter box. You don't throw money at bad money, and we've continued to do that.

Right now we need a mass cleansing, including Mr Isiah Thomas and Steve Mills. I'll let the new GM-President of Basketball operations evaluate and deal with Larry, because no matter what anyone says, LB has more credibility than anyone employed by the Knicks. Now I didnt think he was the right choice, and IF a new GM comes in and believes Larry is not the right person OR that they want Larry to play certain guys and he wont, then they can deal with that. But right now the hit-list should be


#1 Isiah
#2 Steve Mills
#3 Marbury
#4 Crawford
#5 Q-Rich
#6 Curry


these 6 cats must go--i outlined a plausible scenario in which they can all go--nothing will be perfect, but you must start by getting rid of the termites to assess and reclimate the damage.
We don't need to throw anything over this disaster, we need to clean it up.

Thank God we get to keep Big Game!

i said termites not leeches. The only way the BIG LEECH has a market is if he loses 40+ pounds. If he doesnt lose 40, he has 0 value.

you're not going to "cleanse" those players off your cap w/o taking on others w/question marks of their own... be realistic... the best thing to do is to try & form a better chemistry on this team... getting rid of the #1 source of team unrest is vital... get rid of Marbury... Craw is next... then go from there.

i disagree. i think we can trade names for no-names...kind of just like how we did it. marbury for eddies jones? where do i sign? curry has some value but we need to be cautious if we decide to move him.

earl watson?
reggie evans?

two no-names that this type of team needs. i don't care if it's them in particular or something like that but we need some dirty work guys.

5 david lee's are better than the sh t we have now.

Marbury for Eddie Jones & a pick i'd do in a heartbeat, but i don't see MEM doing it.

i'm not high on earl watson whatsoever... he's not the leader this team needs... give me brevin knight on a short term contract anyday over Watson... or Mike James, even at 31, because he's the type of player that i think this team needs.

i'm in agreement w/u about the idea of bringing in blue collar type players who know how to play the game in principle, but they have to be talented as well... the last thing we need is more overpaid role players who don't make an impact on the team.

No to Al Harrington. He's not a real SF or PF, doesn't rebound that well and he shoots a mediocre percentage for a big guy. He also isn't much of a defender. Not a fan of his game.

I think watching a lot of bad baskteball is warping brains. Despite his flaws Harrington would help this team and the NYK should try to get him.

Eno (Jersey City): What if Isaiah is actually accumulating pieces to get Al Harrington? It seems to me that Al could help - he's a good rebounding and assisting SF/PF, and the Hawks need a PG. That said, would the Hawks want one of the Knicks PGs?

SportsNation John Hollinger: (3:33 PM ET ) Is Al Harrington the type of player you really need to go through all this trouble for? They're gonna take on all these salaries and get all these players who don't fit together just so they can make a move and MAYBE get the second-best player on one of the league's worst teams? Hey, were you secretly participating in the Bad GM summit Simmons held last week?

you think we could make a run at mike james with the MLE this summer? i dont know really how much the guy would be worth to a team and i know the MLEs pretty much the best we can offer someone without a sign and trade. but then again we need to rid ourselves of this ridiculous amount of guards before going after another guard

no, no, I think it could work:

PG: Marbury, Francis, Crawford, James, Nate, Jalen, Qrich
SG: Francis, Crawford, Marbury, Nate, James, Qrich, Jalen
SF: QRich, Jalen, Francis, Marbury, James, Nate, Crawford
PF: Malik
C: Jerome James

perrrrrrfect.

we don't need al harrington, we need to get rid of our crp and regroup. its taken us 5 years 2 bad GM's and hundreds of millions of dollars to get into this disaster, we have to start the rpocess of getting out of it. unless we can acquire a top 5 player, its more important we build a team using francis frye and lee as the core group--everything else can go

there is to many instances that suggest marbury is a horrible teammate and that is a chemistry killer, on top of it hes going on 30 and he has way more mileage than francis.


we need that frikin high draft pick and got forbid its another high one next year.

ya seriously enough bull****.


harrington is the SF version of Crawford
