I think Kidd in Boston would be dumb cuz Kidd needs guys that are going to run with him and move without the ball. He's on the perfect team for his style.

I agree that the Boston Gm is one of the worst. Again....how many years are they gonna go with basically the same squad? They need to make changes quick....I wouldn't mind taking Antoine Walker off their hands. Walker would be the Knicks starting 3 for years. Would they do a mega trade involving Walker, a filler, for Spree and KT?
Trade is kind of nutty but not because of having Pierce and Spree on the same team. Pierce is a 3 darn it! I think Boston Fans wouldn't mind. I like Walkers skills as a player and would welcome him on the Knicks to complement the inside outside threat the Knicks are trying to establish.

Walker sucks. He is on my most hated player list. I think the guy is a chuck he shoots like a girl and is severely overrated. His skills are not that good for a number two guy on his team. You won't win with him. He should be down low on the blocks instead he is hanging around the perimeter. On top of that he is mentally weak. He has Kenyon in his head. I never like player who think they are good when they really suck.

Layden wanted Vin Baker and Rice for Ewing.

Imagine, We could have Baker, Shandon anderson and Eisley (both traded for rice) from the ewing trade.

that's what we would have gotten, but Dumars backed out. Dumars deserves executive of the year for saving our butts.

WOW!! When I saw this topic, AT LEAST LAYDEN ISN'T THE WORST GM" I just couldn't resist. My homies from the (now defunct) Daily News board has heard my tirades for years now but, being that I'm new around here... I'll lay out the Reader's Digest version of this totally inept man called Layden.

The man has been as wrong as humanly possible in just about ever move he's made since his arrival. The beginning of the end was the Ewing debacle. At the time Patrick got traded, he had one year remaining on his contract. Patrick was due to get 16MM in his final year and at the time, the Knicks were 23MM over the dreaded cap. Of course, the move was to let Patrick walk after his contract expired. The Knicks would have been able to peel 16MM off the cap and would have been within a couple minor moves to get under. What does our genius do? He trades Patrick for Rice. A guy playing a position we didn't need but, more importantly, a player one step away from the glue factory... but it gets much worse. Inexplicably, for no reason whatsoever, Layden hands Rice a four year, 36MM contract. After he sees the HUGE mistake he made getting Rice, he compounds the problem which translated into Anderson and Eisley and their overblown contracts which last until 2006/07.

Of course, I don't have to bring up Frederic Weis, Eric Chenowith and all the other brilliant draft choices, Houston's 20.7MM due in the last year of his contract or any of the other ENORMOUS mistakes... he's consistent, he's been wrong every time. However, this is simply the first edition, in the meantime, we can clearly say we're in the NBA abyss until the end of the 2007 season.. unless he makes a few more moves in which case this go on until the 22nd century.. anyway, who do we have to thank for the disaster of monumental proportions? The ARCHITECT, Scott Laydumb... the worse GM in the world. We'll talk again.

p.s. there are no longer envelopes used in the draft selection process that can be conveniently bent (a la Patrick Ewing) to land LeBron James...

At least he wears cool glasses....

... lol

one NBA GM once made the following comment in describing Layden. "The problem with Scott is, he has trouble making up his mind"...

yea i agree, it will be his last shot !!! At this rate we will be known as the BOSTON KNICKERBOCKERS !!!

Nice to see you guys still going at it LOL
