surround Eddy with guys that board and play D. Moves Q to the SG
PG BooBury
SG QRich
SF RonRon
PF Lee
C Curry
with Kenny Thomas, Crawford, Nate and JJSkinny off the bench. Pretty solid if RonRon doesnt implode

I'd do it in a second but I get the impression Sac values Artest too much to do it.

No way Sac does it. If we wanted Artest, our chance was last year when the Pacers were trading him. Reportedly we turned down a deal for Artest, which involved Frye. Too late to get him now.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

No thanks...Curry gets hurt then what???...Keep Fyre and develop another young stud....Stop trying to trade our assets...Frye was becoming a decent help defender in the post before he went down...The Knick desperately need on of those...We have no interior presence up front..Chill with the trade Frye threads...

Frye was not becoming a decent help defender, not next to Eddie anyway. He's a center, and stinks next to Curry. He's very good when Curry's out of the game and he moves to center.

Hey, I have no problem with running Eddy and Frye out together night after night. It will ensure more losses hopefully resulting in Isiah's departure.

I agree that people seem too eager to trade Frye. This kid is better than he showed at the beginning of the season. He has a ways to go, but I think he can easily turn into a starting caliber PF/C. Artest is a head case that cannot be depended upon if you are really trying to build a championship team. I would have real concerns bringing him to NY.

I know we have a history of bringing in headcases and having them perform well for us (Mason, Oakley, Sprewell) so I'm 60-40 on bringing Crazy Ron home. Only b/c the guy really doesn't need more distractions.

And he might apply for a job at Best Buy. ;)

come on fish, SAC isn't about to make that deal... & what do they need Francis for when they already have Mike Bibby?
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Clearly, to replicate the success we've had with the Marbury/Francis backcourt. "Hey, it's just crazy enough to work".

Wait until Ron's next album, then try. I hear it's going to be a good one.

You can tell this after 10 NBA games?...I bet you were one of the guys who wanted to run Curry out of town this season as well...

Looks like we are winning tons of games with this current lineup...

holfresh what did you edit? Do share.

I havent wanted anyone run out of town. I have said 1000 times that Curry and Frye arent a good fit next to each other, so the Knicks should pick one or the other and go with that. Since Eddy is your koolaid of the week I went with him.

We are 4-6 in our last 10 with Eddy giving us 25/10/60%

I know you dont measure success in wins or losses, or even good play. For me it matters. I need to see more than stats.

Lets keep running Curry and Frye out there together. While we are at it lets keep running out Marbury and Francis together also. I wonder if uses the words "joy, chemistry or gel" after he's handed his walking papers.

Isiah hates Artest. Had issues with him in Indiana. Also, probably not the best idea to bring Ron to NY.

Don't worry about Steph. Artest will end up killing him.

I would definitely do that but I dont think the Kings would ever entertain that. I don't think the Kings are interested in having 2 jumpshooting big men play PF and C(Frye, Brad Miller)
