    Would trade D-Mo and Smith for this future superstar.

    Some of the former Rockets Morey traded or waived has had a breakout season with their new team.

    Hahahaha

    Do the Knicks have any other choice? Maybe he's the only guy actually listening to Derek Fisher

    The Knicks need to give their players written tests on geometry and trigonometry and see which guys fit the Triangle best.

    Seriously, if you had asked me if Cole Aldrich was ever a Rocket I would have said no. I barely even remember that.

    He was really bad. He is really bad.

    Very well spoken young man though. Should get his teeth fixed and go into television.

    Racist. I guess he's also a high motor guy who is smart, hard working, sneaky athletic, gritty, has a high bball IQ, and is a terrific young man.

    Is there a thread on the Knicks fan forum worrying about how suburbanized the team is becoming with Aldrich there?

    You know your team sucks when the Post is running articles touting Cole Aldrich as your solution.

    Any guy that size that can move is a prospect. You gotta believe it. You hold on and work with a willing worker. I really hate letting go of big guys that height that can move their feet for a reason.
