Jordan's going to be a solid big in the league, but we've got to move on. Agree or disagree with the move, we all knew Donnie's plan from day 1. Time to sit back, prepare for baseball season, and hope we have a Knick team worth rooting for come July.

Is there an active 6-10 guy like this available in free agency?

Why did MDA not play him 20 games in a row for 25 minutes a night to see what we mightve had--he really should be fired. MDA is NOt NY basketball

there's a reason why Jordan Hill was projected top 5 on every draft board leading up to the draft... this clip just shows u what he's been showing u all along when he's gotten the chance to show some of it... great ability to run the floor, constant activity around the boards & shot block attempts, works hard for position down low without the ball... yeah, we didn't need any of that on this team this year... good thing we dumped that extra $3 mil on his contract this summer so we can sign Eddie House or Sergio.

Duhon was too busy looking for D Lee off the P&R & Nate was too busy looking for his own shots to showcase this kid's skills this season... MDA was too busy trying to pump up Fishlips' nonexistent trade value to care about his development either... this kid put up 14 & 8 in summer leagues playing with Toney Douglas... & while SL stats don't mean too much, Brandon Jennings put up similar production for MIL in SL... difference is he was given a real chance to showcase his skills all year while Jordan Hill was left on the bench to rot.

There is no doubt that Jordan Hill *deserved* consistent material playing time on a team that just picked him 7 in the draft. The fake BS part about this is that they HONESTLY thought we were a good team--a playoff team==they did. they can BS you now--but they Nike D played it as if this was a serious playoff team. you draft a guy high give him a chance.

He never played 20 minutes one time and only played more than 15 4 times--3 of which were in blowouts.
The two words common sense just doesnt apply. We needed a second big--why not play him next to Lee just to see what we had? They absolutely smoked us in that trade.

For the last time Jordan Hill was pick 8 not pick 7. Pick 8. The Warriors picked Curry at 7.

Because they wouldn't have been able to trade him due to a fan lynching I'm afraid. Same thing with Douglas. There almost seems to be an agenda here. IT seems to involve breaking NY fans down. Really, they must have a guarantee with Bron and Bosh, as you JUST DON'T take a chance trading a promising young big like that. STill can't believe we did that trade.

All the best to Hill.
I hope D'Antoni is not let out of his contract and has to finish it, then he won't get another contract anywhere and basketball just became that much better. I'm not upset.
