I can't believe this. The last 10 years really did a number on people. We're so terrified after all the bad trades to not realize that we have one of the best starting 5 in the league and a bench that isn't much different than waht we've used all year. As a matter of fact, maybe it's better now.
People are upset because they think we should've fleeced the Nuggets. We paid a premium price for one of the best players in the game.
Guys...this might go down as one of the best days in the history of the Knicks depending on how the next 4 years go. At least wait for the smoke to clear until proclaiming this is some terrible thing.
Who has a better starting 5? In no particular order here are the best:
Boston, Miami, LAL, Dallas, NYK, ORL....who else? Is our bench much worse than Miami's? We can match up with any team in the league. We are going to play good defense. i promise you. Are you guys forgetting what a difference make Billups can be in the locker room? Felton has a great attitude but Billups has the ring to back up his floor general status.
We may not win a title THIS year....but I think after a long time we finally have a legit team taht can take us to a championship. I for one am extremely excited.
