This last thing is not a must but nice. It is not working of course but who cares. Just propoganda.

Who goes into a season without a shooting guard? Its completely insane that we don't have a player who can get to the rim.

I'm a big fan of Chandler. He can do just about anything on the floor. He just doesn't have tha handle to play 2 guard for a team for the whole season, and its made more glaring with our poor PG play.

Not filling the position when he got rid of Q, who wasn't good enough to begin with, sure sends a message that this group of players doesn't matter.

They're going to have to give the keys to Nate when he comes back so we'll at least have a chance in a few games. This is an ugly situation. If we lose by 20 every night its going to be a tough sell to FA's next year.

He is basically the only one on this team with the heart to win some games, but his shot was looking terrible the first few games. Hopefully, he can come back strong. I would like this team to at least match last year's record. At the pace we are on, we won't win 20 games this year.

i say yes... Duhon is playing like caca & Nate 25 cents can't hold a dime to The Answer.

You thin Duhon is bad? AI would have Gallo partying like a madman and pimping hoes. Gallo would shoot 28% from 3 if AI was on this team, bank that.

AI would get Gallo so many more open shot opportunities... if anything Gallo's shooting percentage would go up... please stop making things up, u have no evidence whatsoever that AI would have such a detrimental effect on his teammates... name me 1 young player teammate he's corrupted in this manner during his career... Kyle Korver can't hold a candle to Gallo talent wise & he shot a career high % from beyond the arc in 2 consecutive seasons (05 & 06) when AI was his teammate.

tms come on bro. name 1 young player? how about i name entire franchises corrupted by him. it's well noted that his partying ways, influences, had a great effect on melo and jr smith in denver-- they THEMSELVES noted the difference in team spirit between billups and ai.

this man is a cancer. do you think it's coincidence that NO TEAM OTHER THAN THE GRIZ wanted him this off season?? you're talkin about an almost 30ppg career scorer, and no one wants him?? THERE IS AR EASON.

no one can defend this man, he's a cancer, you don't need to quantify it. his behavior is obvious. where do you work? i know where i work i couldn't pull this ****. i couldn't say, 'hey, if i'm not a worker by nature, i'm a manager, i'll never be a worker'. that's basically waht he said. that's insane, man. insane.

it's one thing if AI is a guaranteed role model, a stand up citizen. then it would be no question,b ring him in for a season and let him rub off on us. but he's not. it's no guarantee he'll rub positive, it's actually likely he will rub negative. and given the size of his head now, with memphis, with gay and mayo and all them? imagine what size his head would be on the knicks? with all scrubs?

AI will bring that, i have no doubt about that in my mind whatsoever... u'r afraid of the negative effect this guy will have on our players as if they're playing so well now... please, get real... if u brought AI in to NY he would perform the hell out of the time he gets out on the floor, believe that... he knows the type of stage he'd be on & the opportunity to pump up his value around the league... u just give him the reigns, sit back & enjoy for the rest of this year, & u play all the young guys around him... that would be fine for me this season while we wait for the free agency blitz to start... this season is a throwaway, i don't care what Donnie Walsh says.

Why are you arguing with the Blob man ? He thinks the Knicks are winning at least 44 games, I mean comon.

I actually changed that to 30, so...i'm not totally out if it, thank you very much jrzyhustla.
