than the Isiah era. I am actually now rooting for the Nets. They seem to be such a better run organization.

We are going to have years of being a really bad NYK team. This sucks...

i know things are bad, but let's be honest, are the nets really a better run organization? yes they are playing well now, but they starphucked the same way we've done. they traded away 3 1st rounders and the option to swap 2017, they fired avery johnson last year for no apparent reason, the whole lawrence frank situation this year. billy king is a pretty a awful GM, his track record is as bad as anyones.

funny how winning masks everything.

why will it be years when 60+ million $ comes off the books next season, and expiring contracts are always good trading pieces..

The only reason it's worse then the I T yrs is because we supposedly have much better..

do you really trust this ownership to rebuild a team, or will it be just another patch job with a max player to draw interest and market the team

Yeah, madness at this point to hop on the Nets bandwagon- they are old, capped out and with no picks- after this season they are screwed.

I don't think that is the case any more.

What are we getting back for Amar'e & Chandler? Junk. The pair of overpaid guards from the Pelicans. They're so good that they are barely better than us.

The worst thing we could do is trade either Amar'e or Chandler.

The best thing is to let them expire, and not just dole out a deal to the first warm body that says yes.

Expiring contracts still hold just look at what Grangers expiring contract go the Pacers.

This season, expiring a could have got you Lou Deng (if most of the salary wasn't guaranteed) and also Evan Turner. Okay pieces to add to a contender but not players you can build around plus you likely have to overpay them.

Next season, assuming the Pistons get a new GM, expiring a will probably get you Josh Smith, Eric Gordon, Jennings- all awful.

You obviously weren't here during the Isiah era.

Have fun in Brooklyn! Don't forget your password; we'll look for you once we start winning again!

I have been a fan since the 80's when I used to watch then on channel 9 which would air a road game on Fridays. I'm not going anywhere. I am just beyond frustrated with this team.

I feel the frustration, trust me. But switching to waving one of those Tim Curry Burton Nightmare before Christmas Nyets banners is a bit over the top, aint it?

Marv on channel 9! BK goes for 50 back to back! I watched that on a 19 inch color TV and rotating roof antenna! Didn't have cable then!
Don't forget, you also lived through Louie Orr almost killing himself on breakaway dunk attempts.

Stay true to your investment son.

Tim Burton? Unless your smitten with "Transexual Translyvania" and Tim Curry.

And, IF you think about it, Tim Curry and Dolan look a like.

I deduct, You got a secret affection for Dolan as evident by your atrraction to Tim Curry.

Sorry, actually meant Tim Burton, not Curry.

Curry actually had a better music career than Dolan ever will.

I don't really get the look alike thing. All us white folks really look the same to you?

when tyso played with the bob cats and bulls, this is how he looked, when he went to dallas, he was a perfect fit and his level of play went up..He came to NY and won DOY..

We like to pick up other teams throw aways and gas ourselves up to thinking that all they needed was a fresh start..

Our guys have talent, they just are a awful mix.


According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Knicks are refusing to field trade offers for their former Defensive Player of the Year:

The Knicks continue to get calls for center Tyson Chandler and, according to sources close to the situation, continue to scoff at every one. New York, to this point, has no interest in parting with its defensive anchor. (Which is smart if the Knicks are set on re-signing Carmelo Anthony to that megadeal this summer.)

Chandler has been a highly sought-after commodity this season—by Knicks standards, that is.

Prone to devaluing young prospects while playing host to numerous overpaid veterans, New York isn't a hotbed for outside interest. Usually, the Knicks are taking initiative.

But with their season in unexpected shambles, interested teams are attempting to seize what they hope is an opportunity.

Chris Broussard of ESPN previously reported that the Los Angeles Lakers were interested in acquiring Chandler, who, when healthy, is a defensive linchpin capable of shifting the entire narrative on that end of the floor.

New York resisted, though, just like it is here, suggesting it hasn't given up hope on this season.
