This guy is really becoming more and more usless. As you see the good play of Q, Jeffries, and Balkman. There really is no need for this guy. Then when he is on the court he acts as if someone forced him to play. Jalen really needs to invest into buying more suits and ties for the bench now.

it's a shame too because I believe he still has game left in him.

I don't want the Knicks to pick up another bad contract, but I wouldn't mind seeing them do something similar to what they did for Taylor. Buying him out so that he can go play for another team and not rot on the bench....

I think it's more that he doesn't fit. I don't think he's a bad guy we just don't need him with the offense we are creating. He is a ball handler that needs the ball in his hands to be effective. He's about 6th on the list on our team when it comes to people that deserve to have the ball in their hands. So he probalby needs to go. Don't hate him for this. Just probably time for him to move on.
I just hope that people will like me

I don't think Jalen needs the balls in his hands to be effective- I think he is a good passer and can hit mid range and out with consistency- at least he always did when he played against us.

He probably has some gas left in the tank.

Unfortunately, his weakness, like a lot of our other guards, is defense.

I'm against buying him out because at some point, maybe Q goes down with the back- both marbury and francis have a ton of miles and could break down.

And then you are going to need someone like him to step in and contribute.

Might he be upset he isn't playing? Isiah just needs to go over and whispher $16mm in his ear and remind him to be happy.

At some point, I figure he will have a chance to step in and show something in an effort to get another contract from some team.

I disagree, Jalen needs both of his hands full of balls to be content.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Jalen looks like he has no business being the court. I thought he was going to atleast be able to be a leader and provide some offense. I guess Jalen has other plans. Hopefully this will be the last we see of him on court unless he is ready to contribute.

So what you're saying is if Isiah traded for Jalen before he hired Anucha, Isiah and Jalen both would have been happy with none of the drama?

lol

So now you are blaming Anuch for Jalen playing awful? lol And I thought it was just the guys at the local bar that felt that way.

Isiah claims that the player on the team that he talks to the most is Jalen. I don't know what kind of advice Isiah is giving Jalen, but it's obviously is not how to play good basketball.

Jalen is telling Isiah that he has to teach the swingmen how to run away from 7 foot centers named Ewing while tripping over the front row.

Because of our cluttered roster, I think its easy sometimes to overlook guys with value. Jalen Rose does many things well - including shooting from long range, creating shots from the mid-post and swinging the ball across the perimeter. That is to say he's not spectacular but rather a crisp passer that delivers the ball away from the double team. He's also a good bail out guy at the end of the shot clock who hits both the 1-dribble pull-up and the mid-post turn-around at a high percentage.
Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

I forgot were you go to see salaries. Doesn't he make too much to just buy him out? I think he has what' two years left on the contract?
I'll never trust this' team again.
