I doubt he'll come back. He is going to give himself lots of time to get back healthy, ensuring the Knicks get a nice lottery-pick and then start fresh next year.

While I dont agree that he should play, I dont think there is anything wrong with giving him 10-15 minutes per game at the end of the season. Just to get him on the court a little but not enough to impact the result of the game. By then we will be well on our way to the lottery and dropping games will be in the teams best interest. Imagine getting a top 5 even a 1-2 pick in this draft. Next year the team would hopefully have a healthy Dyess, Houston, Spree, Vujonic??? and possibly Lebron or one of the Euro stars. That to me is a pretty formidable lineup. Even if we dont win Lebron, getting a solid european big man is the next best thing - it will ass some polish to the team, we will hopefully have a better point guard, and the big three core will come together nicely. I would rather see him sit and get healthy, and I dont want him winning us any games this season because the reality of the situation is that just will not help this team get any better.
