It really is amazing when you sit back and think about it. There are major issues that aren't being address about the direction of this team because of the hoopla regarding cap room.

We've addressed those issues over and over about D'ivatoni. Nothin' we can do about it now, tho.

MDA really did a bad job with the rookies this year, knowing damn well that the team was on the verge of transition. If he played this kid and used him the right way to the point where he got comfortable, had some real success and was given an opportunity to show his worth, maybe then we wouldn't have had to include him in this T-Mac deal. Or maybe we could've held onto that 2012 pick...

I'll always remember the way you took over games and led the Knicks to so many wins. The thunderous dunks. The amazing blocked shots. The timely three pointers.

I hope in time, after this franchise realizes what they've lost in you, that your jersey will be raised to the rafters along with other under appreciated superstars. I'm talking about legends like Renaldo Balkman, Trevor Ariza, and Lavor Postell.

God Speed Jordan Hill.

If they devoted time into him and chose to utilize him a lot & the proper way, he would've shown what he showed me last year in the Pac-10 -- that his game actually has a good deal of polish to it...He was never given an opportunity here at all. And the times he did play, he wasn't put in the right spots to succeed -- the man belonged under the basket operating inside out, not 25 feet from the tin setting picks...Setting picks for who exactly, Chris Duhon??? Our PG who can't take the ball to the rim to save his life? Just checking...And then when he did roll to the bucket off those high picks, he never got the ball once...Not once. 95% of his offense came when he got the ball 20' from the basket and decided to put the ball up..You wanna say part of the problem was his fault at first, coming into the summer league out of shape, fine. I can see that. But believe me, you will all hear from this guy again. He will turn into a player. He was very good at Arizona last year and can do many "big man" things quite well. Good luck Jordan, I'll miss you.

very well put.. I think the rockets wanted him all along.. the picks were just to stick it to the knicks.. this kid can play. i was just talking to jordan hill's cousin and he is happy that hill is getting away from the knicks.. felt he was being used wrong here in NY.... Knicks fans are so quick to label kids bust, but this kid can play and I am sure the rockets coaches are excited to get him.. Just look at the work they put in with hayes and landry.. Hill has more talent than both.. I can't wait to see what they do with him. they also have kevin martin, one of my favorite players.. I will be keeping a close eye on that team...
