If I were the Knicks, and I knew my physician isnt exactly the best in the world, I think I would pay to have my star power forwards operated on by the best knee surgeon in the business. But thats just me...I would want to make sure he was getting the best chance to come back at full speed.

why hes the guy who certfied him healthy--why do you care after the fact--perhaps it wouldve been smart to consult with 3-4 doctors prior to trading for him--but you see they were f^^^^^d by trading for him before a complete and thurough examination by multiple doctors took place--we would have been stuck with nene now if it was amere :>)

The reason I care is because McDyess is a NY Knick, and if they should want to give him the best chance of getting back on the court - who cares about him ebing checked out for a trade, this is surgery.

The problem is and was -they traded for a player who had physical problems with the same knee for two seperate seasons. It would have been presceint to have multiple doctors check him out prior to any trade. If they worked on this deal for months--they shouldve had three or four full consultations/examinations. I don't believe they did that and I think they moved to quickly towards the deal. Dice was not in on the long term Nuggets plans-in fact he said he was walking. I have serious doubts that other clubs wouldve came in. Put it this way you dont do a deal just to do a deal. you do a deal when it BEST fits your needs. the longer the Nuggets held on to dice the weaker their position is. There is always a future unprotected pick the Knicks couldve dangled + the players for cap relief.

Dont get me wrong, I see your point, all I am saying is this...since we have Dyess now and we know our doctors arent exactly known for doing the best work - why would we put him under the knife with him instead of going to the best knee surgeon around - its a sports team, they have the money, and they should WANT to give Dyess the BEST chance he has of getting back. I just think it was another mistake along with the ones you have already listed, to send him to the knicks physician when there are plenty of better options available in NYC.

Please inform me how we know that our doctors are not the best around?

We have the Camby incident 1. Possible unecessary surgury that was overblown completely by Marcus. Camby #2, undetected cartalege tear that went undetected by 2 other doctors...and also overblown by Marcus. Lets remember his injury history dating back to Toronto.

What other evidence has there been?
