She writes for Newsday and gets on my nerves.

fish.mike - who's stayin' and who's departin'?

ditto. I'm completely stumped today. Woods and Lee have to stay! I would give up marbury to keep Woods and Lee. I'd part with Nate as well.

My team...and this is from everyone's posts:
Crawford, Franchise, free agent lb point guard (FA_LB_PG)
Qwoods, QRich, JRose (i'd prefer rose over FA_LB_PG)
Curry, Frye, Lee, Butler

Gone: Malik, MoT, JJ, Nate, and reluctantly Marbs, however, if marbs could pull a billups, which I'm praying to GD he does, then he stays and we make a run at it. marbs hasn't said much in the paper recently, but not playing through pain is a big indicator he wants out. JRose's minutes tonight will go a long way clearing it up for me.

Lee has had some monster rebounding games the last few weeks, and he is a smart player. If he goes, that's like the mets losing David Wright IMHO.

My guess is that if Marbury and or Francis are dealt, LEE might have to packaged with them, depending on which team the Knicks are dealing with.

There aren't that many teams willing take those huge contracts back without the Knicks sweetening the pot. Teams would prefer Frye, but Lee might be enough.

Well the scenario's laid out for as many years as it's allowed to go on for.

Isiah will continue to grab crappy overpriced duds and mid to late 1st round picks.

Larry will continue to weed out the trash that Isiah brings in and recycle his lines about "coaching effort" and "auditioning for who's going to stay."

The franchise will continiue to win in the 20's and 30's.

Anyone have a solid argument as to why we shouldn't anticipate this ad nauseum?

Marv,

I can't imagine this lasting.

Lets put it this way, when we thought it was going well, it was not.

I have to think it will improve, but I am not going to project how.
