This is an article on Slate. A good news website that has a decent sports writer. The article is about how stupi New York teams are and how they perpetually shoot themselves in the foot in order to not have to rebuild. It's a pretty good read. Anyway, here is what it says about the Rice trade. "Last week, the Knicks hoodwinked the Houston Rockets into taking Glen Rice, himself a broken-down, overpriced acquisition from the season before." OUCH! Here is the link to the article. http://slate.msn.com/tagteam/entries/01-08-21_114152.asp Just passing it along. I still think we did better with Rice, than with giving Shandon the kind of contract he wanted.
LOL, oh yeah, and Shandon Anderson at 6 years 42 million dollars is a GREAT deal! New York fans and reporters are just ticked off because their team is screwed for years to come. Look who wrote the article: <i>Hugo Lindgren is a New York City sports fan</i> 'Nuff said! Enjoy cap hell New York!
Why? My motto is, never interfere with the perpetual carping, whining, second-guessing, manager/coach/player-blackballing, and general self-destructive b****ing and loathing New York sports fans inflict on their teams. If they feel the need to sprinkle their fratricide with a few lame little potshots at other cities now and then, let 'em. The fun won't really start in New York till Scott Layden trades for Greg Ostertag.
