Im sorry but its enough with Marbury's drama, Mobley's condition, Curry's injury, Jerome James' fatness and Malik's age.

We can't waste another roster spot and thats ALL WE ARE DOING WITH ROBERSON.

THE GUY SUCKS. HE BRINGS NOTHING TO THIS TEAM. NOTHING!

While there is some real talent at the D-League that can bring more game than him, we keep Roberson, why? Because we guaranteed him a contract? A contract easy to buy out with the situation we are going through?

Walsh needs to wake up on this one.

We should get 3 new players....one for Marbury, Mobley and Roberson.

Gimme a big man, a PG and a shooter. Almond, maybe Marcus Williams and Nick Fazekas....

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Definitely out most glaring needs right now. Now, who's Nick Fazekas?

6'11 guy who can really shoot the rock, was a big time scorer at Nevada. I think he might've went over to play in Belgium now. Surprised he hasn't gotten another crack at the NBA. He was a really good rebounder in college too. Managed 20/10 his last two seasons in college.

Blaming Roberson for the state of the Knicks is like saying Gabe Pruitt won the ring for the Celtics last year.

I like Fazekas. He's got a good shot and boards very well, too. He can't do much on d, though.

Line of the day so far

"With Harrington running the point, the Knicks outscored Chicago 4-0 in the final minutes of the third quarter. It was an impressive sequence, topped only by Chandler's lob pass that Richardson turned into an alley-oop dunk. It was the highest Richardson has jumped since hearing that Stephon Marbury was ordered to stay away from the Knicks."

I don't think anyone is blaming Roberson for the state of the knicks. We just look at him as wasted space, the other guys are making big dollars, so you can at least understand why a buyout isn't in the works. But his small salary is nothing and combine that with we need help at that position means he needs to go.

I for one think NY is playing decent ball considering what we are working with. There are few games we let go that we really could have won. Last night they just look like they ran out of steam, that's evident on the wide open 3's they gave up in the last few minutes. They can't keep running the team down like this, release roberson and sign someone else that can at least help.

Seems like the Knicks are stingy with the pockets this year. I wouldn't bank on Roberson being released till the summer.

No it's not. Roberson, when he's in, is a HUGE liability. He's supposed to be a shooter yet he's not even hitting his shots. To top it off, he takes BAD shots as well. So his shooting is poor. He takes bad shots. He doesn't do anything else. We find ourselves in holes whenever he is in. Yup, I would say he's a big liability and has no beeswacks on the roster.

I thought Kevin McHale won the ring for the Celtics last year.

Both Balkman & Ewing would help with providing energy off the bench, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

And Roberson is one reason we don't have either player on the roster right now.

Neither Balk or Ewing Jr are as good as JJ2 as far as team D.

Roberson is awesome. He just needs time to settle in. Give him some time. He will make big shots for us very soon. Plus, he went to school with D. Lee, and that's awesome for chemistry.
