Here's a question for the crowd. Our previous GM out and out refused to send anyone down to the "minors" even though you probably could've sent one or two guys down there just to get them some burn (I have a notion why but I digress).

Our D-League affiliate is in Tulsa and you can only send I believe players with 2 years or less down there. Though, Little Jimmy definitely has the $$ to buy our own D-League team like the Lakers did.

The question is now that the management has been turned over - will we have guys sent to the D-League? I think Randolph Morris and Mardy Collins could have benefitted from being in the minors for a little while.

i don't think either of those guys needed to be sent down... what they needed was more minutes at the NBA level so they could grow as players & get used to the level of competition here.

the 2 guys i woulda sent down are Curry & Jefferies... Curry because i don't think he's hungry to be the best player he can be... sending him down could send a message that he needs to work hard if he wants to succeed at this level... seeing all those guys down there making peanuts just because they love the game & wanna get to where Curry was at might get his mind focused on a better work ethic & make him a better basketball player.

i send Jefferies down cuz he just plain sucks & i don't wanna see him on the floor.

Sure, he doesn't have a grudge against the D-League because Stern wouldn't give in to his extortion attempts to buy the CBA, like our last Team President/GM/Head Coach.

Unless of course, Isiah whispers in Dolan's ear and tells Donnie that he's not allowed to use the D-League.

I don't like Randolph but the idea that he isn't an NBA player is absurd.

But here are the Knicks that lack NBA quality: JJ1, Mardy, QBrick (just an awful player), and JJ2 is probably a 12th man

Always remember alot of these young men can't handle the bright lights and big city of NY, IT'S TOO MUCH FOR THEM TO PERFORM NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT.

You need confidence to play in NY.

Mardy can play in Siberia and still suck. He possesses little NBA skills. Same goes for Balkman.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I've said it for 2 years now, Mardy Collins is lucky to be in the NBA. He'll be out of the league as soon as his 3 year guaranteed contract is finished.

Randolph Morris has a lot to prove. If he's lucky, he'll be a good backup.

Q a horrible player..thats qrazy dude. i can admit he's lost some of his game, but horrible is a bit much. JJ and Mardy for sure, curry and chandler are up in the air with me. Curry needs more mental toughness without question.
