Well, I guess to put it in a different light, the guy was able to get more $ over in europe. I still have high hopes for Frank Williams anyway.

Well you guys got to admit that at the current Knicks-PG situation its def. best for him to go to Madrid and develope even more in an great environment, in a good league and earn some serious money!
Its sad, i would have loved to see Milos play in orange and blue!!!but i can understand his view of the Knicks-Situation!!!

There's been talk about Miller going to the Jazz.

Phew! Maybe Stockton can impart some crucial leadership knowledge to Andre.

Also, guys, whether or not Milos is overrated isn't important yet. He's got buzz, so other teams are interested. We own his NBA rights for now, so even if he never plays for NY, he can be used as a bargaining chip in trades. He's still valuable to the Knicks, even if he doesn't play in the NBA yet. Our biggest problem is not the PG position, it's the entire frontline, followed by the bench.

If Milos came here next year, he'd be playing off the bench behind Eisley, maybe Ward, and competing for time with Williams. Why would he want to risk that happening? He'll play here when he's ready to be number 1 or 2, and that's going to take more time.

the guy will get a little more development in...

This, from Insider:

Knicks burned by Milos Vujanic

The Knicks got some shocking news on Thursday when the agent for second-round draft pick Milos Vujanic reportedly told the team that Vujanic was set to sign a multi-year deal with Real Madrid.

Vujanic, widely considered the top point guard in Europe, has been on the fence about joining the Knicks since he was drafted. Insider first reported in December, while in Yugoslavia, that Vujanic was hesitant to join the Knicks next season.

Vujanic told Insider he was concerned about his role with the team and how many minutes he'd get. He saw three point guards on the Knicks' roster, and it made him nervous.

"I just want to make sure I'm getting a chance to play," Vujanic told Insider. "If not, it's maybe better for me to stay here."

Frederic Weis, meet Milos Vujanic.

The news could be devastating to the Knicks, who lack a real point guard. Many felt Vujanic would be perfect for the team's up tempo style.

At first glance, his game is eerily reminiscent of Steve Nash's, with one or two differences. Both players are fantastic shooters. They both love to push the ball up the court and always keep their cool under pressure. Vujanic, however, is a better athlete and a tougher defender than Nash. He's also great at splitting defenders and getting to the basket.

What went wrong for the Knicks? Vujanic's agent alluded to a dispute over money. According to reports in New York, GM Scott Layden was only offering Vujanic the minimum to play for the Knicks next season. Vujanic can make much more than that in Europe.

However, despite reports to the contrary, the Knicks' hands aren't tied on this. They can use part of their mid-level exception to sign Vujanic. Theoretically, they could offer him as much as $4.5 million a year.

However, it appears New York played hardball instead ... and lost.

"Yes, Scott Layden is upset. I am also upset, because Scott is a very big man and knows his job very well," agent Goran Ristanovic told the N.Y. Post. "The best thing for Milos is first go to Europe, then go to NBA."

Still, Ristanovic, sees Vujanic eventually playing for the Knicks after another season or two in Europe.

"After one year, maybe he will come to New York," Ristanovic said. "Maybe one year, maybe two years. If the player is real good, it doesn't matter. We want to say to New York fans and the Knicks that when he's 24 or 25, when he has some money in his pocket, he will come to the NBA. And I know he will play for New York. And I know he will play in the NBA very long -- 10 years. He has great feeling about the Knicks."

Well as much as I dont like it, I cant say that i'm surprised. Its the management plain and simple. Until they fix that, the team is not going to get any better. Vujanic wanted a pay day, and Layden wouldnt give it to him. I agree he is unproven NBA wise, however this was yet another stupid move by NY management when they had the opportunity to get some real young talent onto this roster. I dont see things getting better until Layden is gone, there is a new coach in place, and a new owner. Thats 3 big moves that must happen before this team starts to head in the right direction. Until then the doorway to mediocrity is wide open and it seems the Knicks are headed through it on the way to the Denver Nuggets rebuilding 101 class.

speaking of frederic weis, if u read the post today u would be luaghing all day cuz laydens thinking of convincing him to play for the knicks. sounds good maybe he can be vince's personal dunking posterizing boy. layden has a screw loose. any other gm would have got vujanic here, but layden is too conservative and has ni imagination. its fairly obvious he should go. th only good thing he has done is draft milos and now he might **** that up too.

Vujanic signings with Barcelona makes really much sense for him as he can really play in one of the best european teams next season. and will be coached by europes best coach, svetislav pesic!!!
