Kudos for what ever reason the Knicks did not trade any youth for some half baked inticement to acquire a false prophet to attempt to make the first round of the playoffs!

Interesting enough as written this moring in a few papers the Nets not pulling the trigger on a lopsided salary dump and holding pat. At the same time, the Lakers stood their ground on not moving Bynum for Kidd deal and not biting the "Starphuch Ambrosia" that often overcomes teams.

They saw that even with Kidd it likely would not result in overcoming either Phx or the Mavs that significantly and Bynum is still so young with huge upside!

Think the Knicks would have done that deal? Im sure they would have. But this is why we are where we are and the Lakers manage to rebuild on the fly but still keep both financial and roster constraints. THe Lakes did this despite the knowlege that Phil Jax is not gonna coach forever and could have went "win now" without respect to the future!

This is the kind of think I'd like to see our knicks do from now on!

Lets hope Dolan's constraints actually make sense for the long run and we are on course for the long term view!

if that's the case you would have seen D Lee or Curry dealt in a deal to get a Ray Allen or Vince Carter type player... it didn't happen.
