The guy has had season crippling injuries every year. Hernia? Back issues? Ankle? Knee?

Why are all the NBA's gimpy being rumored to come here?

Magette is another guy who will fit right in.

Dumb, makes a lot of money (wasnt he signed recently?) is always hurt, and is a punk.

Nate was the leading scorer in three games this year, convincingly scoring 30 + twice and he's the smallest man in the league? He could do all kinds of things for a first year rookie, not to mention winning the slam dunk contest and Q-Richardson is going to get his shot back next season. I say we came this far with them, keep them. Q was starting to shoot better in the second half of the season and Nate is just too unique to let go. No telling what he can do as he matures. I wouldn't do it, not unless it is a super name we are trading for.

Q 's last half of the season:
January-> 33/97 FG -> 34%
February-> 47/108 FG -> 43,5% His best month as a Knick, it looks like a decent player... it's a shame that we won 1 game in February.. he must be a cancer!!!
March-> 20/61 FG -> 32,7% and then he got injured

Maybe Q is gonna have his shot back, but he is one of the very main reasons we suck this year.

Nate's value will NEVER be higher. He came off of winning a slam dunk contest he shouldnt have won, and, just like you said, hes the smallest man in the league. Hes much too short to play the pos he is best suited for (SG), and his value will most likely diminish as the years go by. Move him now, and we also get to dump an enormous contract (Craw or QRich, take your pick), for a guy with All Star talent, whose contract makes him a good value.

Are you serious?

I actually agree with this.

Give it a break DarkKnicks. His brother was shot to death. Would you like someone saying you sucked, if it happened to you? And he did improve his confidence in the second half, when he was horrible in the first. I didn't say he was fantastic, he just looked better shooting.

I'm down for losing q-rich. Also looking on the bright side maggette would allow the knicks to sign woods and stay away from Al Harrington. One thing that maggette does at an alarming rate is get to the free throw line. Knicks need a wing player that can do what maggette does well.

Its just those damn injuries. Like I said. Resign woods and the knicks are ok.

I'm against anyone who gets injured regularily and I certainly don't want Al Harrington on this team (we need a throw-up smiley face).

Hey, man, I'm really sorry for what happened to Q, but life must go on. His brother died in November, if he can't play at his best level 2 or 3 months after it, you can't make excuse for him, the same way we did not make them for Tim Thomas last year. He simply played terrible. For example, if he had retired after what happened to him I would not say a single bad word about him, but if he decides to play basketball he must do well, and that's all. BTW, I did not say he sucks.
