However I was shocked that fan-favorite Charles Oakley again made damaging but true comments to the media
advising Lebron NOT to come to NewYork since Oakley maintains he was treated very bad by the organization.

OAKman speaks again Part 2

Also we know what happen to Pat Ewing and despite Ewing demands for trade then and some healing after Patrick
Ewing night in NY we know that Ewing was practically exiled out of NY in a lopsided deal which continues to this
date set our Knick Organization back few decades. We all knew Pat Ewing bled true knick blue as much as Frazier
Bradley or Reed and any Knick legends whom called the garden floor home for many years.

Now we see the nobody Nate Robinson whom I like and admired his overcoming his shortcomings!

Nevertheless David Lee made himself marketable, I'll give MDA a pinch of credit no more for Lee's development
and Lee has kept himself quiet and seem to say right things in the public.

But watch David Lee leave the Knicks organization for free what Knicks brass lose out the July 1 FA week and
Lee be gone for nothing. Another Dis' to a soon to be ex-knick.

Its ashame, FA July suppose to be fun for us but all what we see written and hear about in News regard NY Knicks
it doesnt seem good. Alot of influences against NewYork ever being in any running for any kind of upgrade of star
talent which the rich get richer, The BULLs, LAKERs and CELTICs show the NBA is no place for our Knick team.

Not even with all the loot $$$$ or second most able franchise to spend money and cannout even get lucky to have
someone interested. This wont change to Jim Dolan is out. He hasnt made things better. Lots of ex Knicks grunted.

I Dont even think guys and legends like Earl Monroe and Frazier are properly taken care of in Knicks organization
That is part reason why we're not favorite to get any sentiment around the league.

When you have fakers like Knick supposedly fan Chris Rock at Laker game like he is a fan of LA
then we know we're in trouble !

Patrick Ewing always wanted out and he got his wish and now regrets his decision to leave the Knicks. They were the only team to give his son a shot. The Knicks have loyalty to their ex players just look at Starks and H20 they are a part of the organization. Look at Herb Williams how he has a job to this date no one knows. People should not be listening to Oakley he is a disgruntled retard. As far as Nate he is a talented player but he is an asz clown. Last year he was a FA and not one team made an offer to him and the Knicks to boot gave him a very nice contract for a player no other team made an offer for. Celtic sat his azz on the bench and watched him not collect the extra million he would have gotten. And he is talking smack about the Knicks he is Nate the ungrateful the Knicks put up with his BS. He has no idea what the Knicks did for him as far as I'm concerned he is more like a spurned lover who can't get the Knicks off his mind.

Some folks around here think charlse-dumb as a OAK tree, should be part of the knicks coaching staff..Thats like picturing Barkley as a HEAD COACH or a coach of any magnitude.

Nate, I love the little guys energy, but your a 6/7th man on a bad team, 10th on a good one. He paid his dues (LMAO) he made no one better around him, and the team had a better record with out him..No little BUDDY the knicks PAID you bills.

I agree with you V..I would love to have EWING back, but this is not a LEAD by example job (being a head coach) his non vocal leadership was so evident when he played, and if thats your personality then thats cool, but don't think your owed something just because, PAY YOUR DUES as an assistant, "and show us what you got" (remember that PUBLIC ENEMY SONG) Teach Dewight how to do something more then Dunk and Block f***g basketball..

Besides, some players aren't fit to do certain jobs, coaching, analyst, commentating..

And what the hell is he talking about that Ewing never took heat for not winning a chip. He took all the heat! Damn, Oakley was a hell of a player for us, but I lost some respect for duke with those comments.

I can understand why Nate is barking, tho. The stuff between him and D'Antoni is recent, but he should just be the bigger person and keep it moving. No use lowering himself to D'Antoni's level...pardon the pun.

Papabear Says

I can't wait till Nate get his ring. The only way we will get one is to go to the jewlry shop and buy a ring. Go Nate, Go Hill you got a bad break in New York.

I'm not blaming Nate's behavior on D'Antoni, but Nate is 25 years old and D'Antoni is a grown authority figure. That said, I honestly dont know who the immature, 25 year old is between the two.

What exactly warranted Nate being benched for 13 games straight games like he was some sort of pariah? Because Nate shot at his own basket during a time out? Stupid, but was it worth all that?

Okay, D'Antoni thought that his relationship with Nate was untenable and he wanted him on the first thing smoking. Cool. Go to Walsh and tell him that he needs to look for a deal to get Nate out of here because he has no future with the Knicks. All the while, maintain a professional front and try to get the most out of the kid while he is still a member of the organization.

But naw, D'Antoni couldnt resist completely embarrassing Nate and making him the scapegoat for all the Knicks ills. It was completely pathetic and childish the way D'Antoni handled Nate and I have no respect for it.

ewing didnt get burned by the press and fans??? i seem to recall that quite a bit.

Thats what blind hate does to a man. It completely divorces him from reality. That quote is ludicrous because its the exact opposite. Ewing took all the grief for the '90s Knicks not winning a chip. Ewing is the poster boy for that disappointment.

Shyt, even John starks, who was pathetic in game 7 of the '94 finals, has been let completely off the hook. Nobody even mentions Oakley unless they're talking about how hard nosed of a player he was --- not that he was the reason we didnt win a title. Oakley is full of shyt and a pathetic liar.

mdsa screwed up plenty of things last year, but nate is a real who cares blip on the screen imo.
