    I'd love to see James Posey guard Kenny Thomas!
    that's what you guy's don't see
    Kenny was embarassing Antonio Davis in a game earlier this year... who is supposed to be a darn good defender.
    I'd like to see Kenny as our 6 man...
    He hustles, plays D, and creates matchup problems
    what exactly do you want from your 6 man?
    I love the pride he plays with... Maybe it'll catch on one day and the rest of the team will do whatever it takes to win

    glen rice for the extremely low cost of shandon anderson? that was a no-brainer if you ask me. especially coming at a time when the defensive rules were being changed and the whole league expected drastic differences that might require as many three point threats as possible in order to succeed. sure glen's been a bust like so many of our previous small forwards, but go take a look at shandon's stats this year. who won on that deal? not the knicks. (or the rockets)

    Um i'm sorry dTown333 but the knicks killed us on that one
    look at that fat salary we're paying Rice
    who in the hell isn't faster than him at sf in this league?
    Jordan? Pierce? Marion? McGrady? Battier? Wells?
    we're going to have to play the guy at the 4 lol

    but last year he was still successful at the three - offensively and defensively - and with the zone rule change, it was expected he would get a lot mroe open looks. Plus, even having only played in 15ish games, he has still probably been more productive that Shanderson for the Knicks, and he has an even more ridiculous contract, given skill level.

    In retrospect you may be able to say that there may have been a better trade to pursue, or just let Shandon walk, but to say the knicks killed us is laughable - they were hurt more by the trade (given Anderson's contract wont come off the books for a while) than us.
