    Curry is a JOKE!

    He is the poster child for what is wrong w/ the NBA today.

    Garanteed contracts :mad:

    Will Isiah be interested in coaching the Rockets if the position is available? I can't wait to see Isiah on Houston's bench. Dude is having a misfortune in the stinking NYC. I feel sorry he has to go through all this ****. Isiah deserves better. I think it'll be a prefect swap between mister van gundy and Isiah.

    I don't want to see him on the Rockets bench. I guess people forgot how the Pacers underachieved when Isiah was the coach.

    This is the first time I've watched the Knicks since this thread, but I have to say that I agree with you 100%. With Robinson, Crawford, Balkman, Frye, and Lee out there, the Knicks look like an NBA team. Actually, Curry isn't bad, but the wheels fall off when Starbury and to a lesser extent Francis gets in the game. It's tough to bench $30MM/year, but it has to be done. The sooner Isiah recognizes this, the less likely that the Knicks win the Greg Oden sweepstakes for the Bulls.

    Donovan McNabb could potentially be the Poster Child of what is wrong with the NFL

    non Guaranteed contracts

    Say what? McNabb has already made more money than most NFL QBs will ever dream of seeing if he never played another game. Non-guaranteed contracts are good for the NFL. You get your signing bonus plus a good salary. What is wrong with that?

    Addendum: Jared Jeffries, through his first two games - is putting on a Shane Battier-esque performance of decent shooting combined with good defense and high plus minus rating and getting a lot of tips & steals


    So to revise, I think the Knicks should roll like this:

    PG

    1. Francis (when he comes back from injury - he did a good job distributing w/low TO's in the few weeks before he got hurt, and posts an OK-ish plus minus)

    2. Robinson

    3. Mardy Collins (non-rotation).

    Marbury's play has been awful, and should be benched.

    SG

    1. Richardson 2. Crawford

    SF 1. Jeffries 2. Balkman 3. Richardson

    PF 1. Lee 2. Frye 3. Balkman

    C 1. Curry (his improved play of late gets him off my blacklist) 2. Frye

    So a rotation of 8-9 Players which should actually work. Crawford and Frye are going to lose a lot of minutes but somebody's got to be the odd man out.

    I think they might want to try to trade Frye as he's got a bit of value still based on his performance last year.

    If Malik Rose ever sees the floor in non-garbage time again, given the fact the knicks have 4-5 guys who can play the PF spot, Thomas should be taken out and shot.

    EDIT: Isiah really makes it hard sometimes - now he plans on benching Lee and making Jeffries the starting 4.....WTF?
