I thought you guys would like to read this. You can read the entire article at
http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/031031.html


New York Knicks
Critics are calling them "The most unwatchable Knicks team yet!" Lemme tell you something ... when you throw Dikembe Mutombo, Michael Sweetney, Clarence Witherspoon, Kurt Thomas, Othella Harrington, Keith Van Horn and a washed-up Antonio McDyess in the same frontcourt, and you have the worst group of point guards in the league, and the fastest guy on your team is Allan Houston ... I mean, this is a team for the ages.

Scott Layden shouldn't just be fired, he should be facing a civil suit filed against him by Knicks fans. Seriously. Shouldn't you be able to sue someone for doing this to your favorite team? Has that ever happened before? At the very least, he should be forced to live in a reality-TV house with Grady Little, Bob Whitsitt, Jim Haslett and Gregg Williams, where they have no electricity, no bathrooms and no food for six weeks.

(Don't worry, Knicks fans -- I'm sure your buddy David Stern will figure out a way to steer Kobe to New York this summer. Maybe he'll unearth a rule from 1997 that every fifth Antonio McDyess knee surgery yields a $10 million injury cap exemption for his team. Stranger things have happened.)

I completely agree.

Kobe would solve a lot of problems but first we need to get rid of chaney. no one wants to play for him. in the offseason, Make a push for kobe and sign Doc and the knicks will be good again

The NBA will continue to let the Knicks suffer. The Knicks will continue to lose. Dyess will never return to his previous form.

Atleast you seem to have a lot of faith.

TMac would be an interesting target...considering Orlando's woes...

What could another SG do for us? We cannot trade Houston because of his contract and T-Mac can only be a little effective at SF. The lineup would look awesome though.

PG Frank Williams
SG ALlan Houston
SF Tracy McGrady
PF McDyess
C Deke
Man, finals here we come!!

Deke wont get us to the finals.

Neither will McDyess.

And that is with adding a player like Kobe or T-Mac which is literally impossible.

Maybe it would work if Vujonic was actually good and came to play in NY as well but since none of this will happen whats the point in thinking about it?

I dont see why Denver would ever trade Nene and Camby back to the team that delt them in the first place.
The NBA will continue to let the Knicks suffer. The Knicks will continue to lose. Dyess will never return to his previous form.

Actually, I find no reason to live either......

I definitely agree with the article. I respect Bill Simmons' willingness to tell it like it is. No useless squeezing of optimistic blood out of the rock that is the New York Knicks.

What he said about LayDown is especially true.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Is there any chance David Stern helps the knicks out someway and gets them a good free agent? The NBA always has better marketing value when the knicks are good. Maybe there is some possibility there!

david stern will continue to let the knicks stew. look what they did last time he guided a good pick their way. they used patrick up, then traded him for dog meat. they disrespected patrick as they so often do their players. like they did camby. like they did spree. spree played his heart out for this team and now they call him a thug. the knicks have just screwed too many people to expect anyone to lend a helping hand.

the knicks have yet to reap the harvest of all the bitter seed they have sown.
