I really don't think Layden has done that bad, he came into an unworkable situation. Let us see what he does this offseason, I think holding off on trade deadline day was good, he simply couldn't match Dallas's offer for LaFrentz. I agree with Chaney, I heard today that in 19 games under JVG and without Camby, the Knicks won 10 games and with Chaney they've played i think 30+ games and have only won 10, he simply can't cut it. For replacements, I think we need a guy who hasn't been a head coach before, just start fresh. Preferably offensive-minded, up tempp type. I agree w/ getting Gooden or Stoudemire, preferably Gooden, then in the 2nd round get a guy like Dickau, Logan, maybe even a Tito Maddox. I would trade Camby definitely, hold onto Thomas, Harrington is a good throw in. Thomas can play out the two years left on his contract then Gooden can take over. Odom you might be able to get in a sign and trade with LAC since Odom's a free agent, I don't think they're trading the Kandi Man though. I heard Bill Walton say today which made a lot of sense that while Spree and Houston are good players, they don't make the players around them better, which is true. With Odom, you get a troubled but talented guy who scores, passes, handles well, and rebounds. If you clean up his act he's an All-Star. I think Camby definitely has to go and I wouldn't mind having him sit out if it raised his trade value. I would trade Camby and Sprewell to the Clips for Odom and a first rounder, though we're giving too much I think you need to do that to rebuild. With the mid-first rounder get a Dan Dickau, then in the 2nd round maybe get a 2-guard like Juan Dixon to fill behind Houston. I still think that while Williams is the best player now coming out of the draft, I think Gooden will become the best player developing into a Tim Duncan type, averaging a double-double and making the team better. We can wish, can't we?

Well, I'm just saying I don't think they should just go out and sign the next available coach, I don't think the Czar of Defense would do us any good. We need something fresh, new players, new strategy, etc. I'm not sure what other coaches are out there but I'm sure they could find someone. Just thinking now there is Don Nelson's son who seems like he coaches w/ a lot of passion and seems to know what he's doing and if he's anything like his dad, he'll have a nice up-tempo offense. I'm not sure, anyone know any intriguing coaches?
