I am absolutely heartbroken right now



Gosh, I feel like one of my friends just got hit by a train

in the real business world, if you hired a new CEO and he came in with a business plan of reving up operations by increasing short term payroll by 25% and long term expenses by 275mm, the bottom line is results are demanded immediately. we didn't take a step back and reconfigure the business, we shoved TREMENDOUS amounts of money on top of what was already spent. In the real world, EVERYBODY would be canned with what we have been seeing, because the honest truth, the honest reality is that we are actually much worse off.

Our competitor, the Nets, have spent half the money we half spent, have had much worse blemishes to disrupt operations, and yet, have apparently conjured up the guts to right the ship even under the horrid conditions that they have been put under.

Vince Carter and Jason Kidd are both twice the player Marbury will ever be. As is Jefferson. They essentially traded Kmart for Carter and a number one pick, which is a great trade. The Nets have far more pieces than the Knicks at this point. Brooklyn Nets can't come soon enough.

Awesome post. Everyone praising Thomas and talking about what an amazing intelligent savior he is gets tiring after a while.

I CANT BELIEVE I AM ACTUALLY HEARING PEOPLE IN HERE SAY THEY WANT THE BROOKLYN NETS TO COME SO THEY CAN CHANGE TEAMS AND BE A NETS FAN. I DONT CARE WHATS HAPPENING TO THE KNICKS RIGHT NOW, I WILL NEVER CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT TEAM EVEN IF THEY BRING A NEW BASKETBALL TEAM TO NEW YORK. TRUE NEW YORKERS WILL ALWAYS BE KNICKS FANS. GOD ITS SO FRUSTRATING TO LISTEN TO EVERYONE TALK SMACK. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF ANY OF YOU ARE ACTUALLY KNICKS FANS.

why are we not starting sweetney?

If we're the worst team, we'll finish with the worst record and get the #1 pick in the draft (or we'll have the most ping pong balls). I can't imagine that happening, though.

Where Brooklyn at?

We just need to change the PF and the Center position....Bring in some new blood at an affordable price and grow from within. We can draft wisely and within the next couple of years we will be in contention....but before that, get rid of Kurt, buy out Houston and that enough will free our team from the painful misery that we are in right now...Is it easy? no, but it can be done....Houston is old and is getting older. We can't afford to keep on hoping that he will be better for the money that he is making....Let's live with the errors commited by Layden and correct them. Do a drastic change, bring in capable guys that are affordable and hungry. No name players, not guys who think that they are stars. We already have Marburry and Crawf for now and a couple of young pieces. we need cheap role players and soon or later, we will find the studd Center that we are looking for....

For Greg Anthony to say the Knicks are the worst team is saying something because he has always stuck up for the Knicks against Steven A. Smith, Barkley, Vecey, Kerr, whoever.....

I bleed orange and blue.....It's just overwhelming. Layden Screwed the Knicks a new arse hole. He should have let Ewing walk after the season rather than trade him for Rice.....then shandon and Eisley, signing Ward to all that money.....Clarence Weatherspoon, Trading Donell Harvey for Erick Strickland and then for Othella Harrington....and the killer Houston contract. This has all been devestating.

Isiah tried to change it and he has set the course a little better but.....geez.

I'm from Brooklyn.....born and raised. A new team would stop the bleeding some.....I doubt it would be a full transfusion though.

lol…I was wondering when you were coming out my bandwagon [not really] buddy. all i’ll say is you’re not the only bk knick fan coming out the closet bleeding. Just wait till they finish the complex…..bk fans will unite. i cant imagine star coming home playing on his turf, against his turf…..spree, show ‘em where you live
