Peolple kill me with saying guys like steph, HOWARD EISLEY, francis and J Rose, oooh there contracts are to big, to long. It's such a silly notion that large contracts are untradable. It's been done since..well forever. Larry Johnson was probably the first player in the league to get the major, major bucks when he resigned whith (then) charlotte Hornets and easily got traded bad back and all. Players have been moved reguardless of skills, salary, or health.

So why would it change Now?

anyone's tradeable, as long as you're willing to take what you're going to get back for them.

So far trading big contracts for what comes back has made the team worse. You can talk all you want about talent and potential, but what happens when potential amounts to a fart, as with Ariza, Sweetney, FW, etc., and talent simply does not play up to its abilities?

You are stuck with a team that is the joke of the NBA.

the way out of perpetual cap hell might be to just buy out some of these malcontents rather than take crap back for them.

not that hard. are you serious?

Very, how did we get them. Marbury and francis are star players despite what happen this year. Everybody thought vince was injury prone and on the declined, nash was a star in dallas and became a super star in with the suns.

Anybody who thinks those two are on the declined base on 1 season is an idiot. Yeah they are over paid, but so is the 75% of the league. We may have to give up JC some of our younger players, but if it helps us get better so be it. You think Houston wants to get rid of T mac, or GS wants to get rid of BD becuase of there bad backs and bad contracts...put them out there and see how many teams would be willing to take the risk.

It's all about what works, bad attitude, bad health, bad contract, sub par skills, doesn't matter. Boris Diaw, Nazy, juan Dixion. Those sub par players have gel lovely.

I'd trade any player on this team for lesser talant if I know they would fit well in my plans.

Jalen Rose told The New York Times that he was stunned by the horrible Knicks season, explaining, "I put together our roster on NBA Live and we're pretty good."

I wonder if that's what Isiah did.

the only way i ever agree to any Marbury buy out plan is if we have something under the table to get the lottery pick back from MIN.

How can you control where a player signs?? If the Knicks buy-out Marbury, he would be an UFA. He could sign with any team he felt like.
