3. It isn't over until 3pm and people make lots of premature threads before then.

2. Its a waste of bandwith to start new threads (AChemm) to rant about current GM's inept abilty until the actual day is finished. Then Judge.

3. Starphuchs rarely happen.

4. The buzz never lasts.

5. Its a bummer, but its a long way to the draft.

6. Deal with Briggy's hourly scenario new threads. He holds lots of regreat but they are well thought out.

7. Clippers usually do well at the deadline. Thats about they are good at.

8. What are we going to do when Camby retires?

9. Next year Eddy gets a buzz.

10. Kurt and Tim Thomas are always around.

11. If its February and we still in the playoff hunt, thats a good season.

12. Wish for monthly League Pass. I stopped watching. I am happier.

13. Buy a Blue Ray player and watch more movies.

14. Can the Old 67 year old man coach? Can he be our new Oakley?

15. Telfair in NY would have been funny. Even funnier if he ever lives up to his high school hype.

But we should continue to freak out over each and every rumor, right?

Teams talk, back away, talk to other teams, come back and talk to the original team, back away again, enlist a third team, and either go make another deal or the original deal.

While the back and forth goes on the beat writers scramble to say "deal done" or "trade dead".

One beat writer will declare a trade done and 20 others will say the same thing while citing the original writer as the only source they have of which was a false source to begin with.

It becomes such a whirlwind that 2 day old stories become brand new breaking news when they're just two day old stories.

It gets so crazy that a beat writer says "maybe player x instead of player y would work" and next thing you know the done deal involves player x when it doesnt.

A beat writer in one city will tailor a trade to fit his favorite team while another in another city will do the same with the same trade - then other beat writers will run with either IDEA as FACT when its NOT.

A lot of trades don't get finalized until hours after the deadline so no trade is dead until the deadline is officially passed and all paperwork completed and made official by the NBA.

And fans will freak out every every brand new article or twitter line they see pop up and take it as GOSPEL.

===THAT IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT TRADE DEADLINES===

I learn many important lessons, but most of all I learn that we're all Knick brothers... I learn to have compassion for my fellow suffering Knick fans.

the buzz is total BS for the most part. Jamison was going somewhere. It happened, but was KMart ever mentioned for TMac anywhere anytime? Dont think so. And Darko???? WOW.. nobody saw that trade coming. Sota is feeling better about the post KG era RIGHT NOW (like the Van Halen song).

16. At some point argue who is to blame. Checketts, Dolan, layden or Isiah.

17. Lament on H20's 100mil deal.

18. Miss Spreewell. once done, Miss Larry Johnson.

19. Over value Mark Jax.

20. Undervalue JVG.

21. Miss Camby again and get angry. Wish Camby would have gotten angry when he was a knick.
