Questionable as (Grunwald's) move's timing may have been, it allows us little time to dwell. Basketball is very nearly here, and we're looking at a team that's both bound for a winning season and restocked with wonderful characters. (Ron Artest/ Metta World Peace) is on our team now:

- Seth Rosesnthal

Raymond Felton, Pablo and Beno give us our best depth at lead guard in a long time.

Whatever Tim Hardaway Jr brings is a plus

Andrea Bargnani has an opportunity for a fresh start in New York

We are younger and taller.

A year ago, we were trying to enjoy the reality of an insanely old team, that was going to break down waiting for something happy to emerge from Stat or Shump.

This season, after making it to the second round, we are surrounded by RoseDust, Nyetnoise and our normally idiotic owner getting backpage splooge anyway he can.

Welcome to New York, skyscrapers, and everything

The problem that I have with what Dolan did is that he did it after Grunwald made all the deals. Now with Mills incharged he will want to put his brand on the team so maybe we will have some trades. I remember how the team was when Mills was here before. I know one thing if Dolan think he can ass around if he wants to and the new generation of fans will be going to Brooklyn if Dolan keep playing games.

Steienbrenner was a clown owner for a long time. Winning helps no doubt. The Billy Martin revolving door was absurd, his rants and tirades after team lost, his feud with Reggie Jax was epic, and his critical comments on players he overpaid were his to make.

He apologized to the fans and he demanded excellence which endeared him to the fans. Dolan is the Wizard of Oz. He hides. He does not appear to take responsibility for his decisions and instead likes to blame others.

Its his team and he can do what he wants. Nobody puts a gun to our head and makes us root for the team. Most of us here have no financial stake or are season ticket owners.

If Isola is correct that he is wigging out about the Nets Nalods assessment for the last few years have been correct that getting melo and everything with it was in fear of the russian. The Russian made a great move into brooklyn and encroaching on knick turf.

The Steinbrenner lesson was learned when the Core-Four carried that team to greatness and sustained excellence. Jeter and Rivaria played together 21 years. There are many ways to do things but "Building something" should be the goal, not reaction to outside stimulus.

With that said, the instant Jeremy Tyler heals... Things get real.

Mike Woodson has a nice blend of experience and yoots. Play defense.

First he will need to defend himself.
Not sure he will last long into the season.
And may be its for better.
When fruit getting spoiled faster its better.
Easier for the tree.
