Knicks sign Jonathan Bender

[jeffx]

Frye is playing in the perfect system for his skills though.

Don't forget...he had a great rookie year with the Knicks, anyway...

But if you look at Knicks history(especially our draft picks) since the '73 championship, it's one bonehead move after another. The only thing they didn't screw up was Ewing. Our front office is a joke, Isiah or no Isiah.

I'm not going to argue that, hell as a Bulls fan it's been a pleasure

[FedEx227]

Wasn't Othella Harrington signed to something like a 5-year, $50 mill deal?

[FedEx227]

I could've swore they signed him to some terrible ass deal. Maybe I mixed him up with someone else.

Well of course, because Zeke took Eddy "The Franchise" Curry off your hands.

Read this and weep, Knicks fans...

If it makes you feel any better we kinda fucked up those picks anyway. We got Noah out of it, but we have worthless Tyrus Thomas (who we definitely could've traded to the Isiah-ran Knicks at this point)

I love our SF right now though.

I would have preferred Brook Lopez. Knicks have no inside presence - they're fucking soft, man.

Shit, last week I read Walsh was thinking of trading Harrington for Thomas. Unreal.

don't get me started on the Knicks and their lack of basketball sense when it comes to drafting players....jeffx is 100% right, we haven't gotten it right since David Stern "handed" us Ewing.....and guess what, we still found a way to disgrace a legend and traded him for a washed up Glen Rice....okay let me get started since y'all insist

Eddie Lee Wilkins.....I forget what year we drafted this guy but he drops 25 points as a rookie in his very first game, then is heard from no more

Kenny "Sky" Walker.....I just LMAO

Rod Strickland.....he had a chance to be good, but his knuckleheadedness combined with the Knicks fuckery on how to handle him, doomed him

John Wallace....LOL, do I even need to explain

Mike Sweetney......ugh

Traded for Stephon Marbury, LB and Isiah screw his head up, and oh yeah no John Wall for us this year

Ohhh here's a gem, trade away our pick for Antonio McDyess, damaged goods.....rush him back from injury, he fucks up his knee....DONE as a Knick....goes away, develops into a solid role player

They even traded away CLYDE FRAZIER back in the day for some bum ass....what makes it worse is, Willis Reed was the GM back then....he shoulda been shot on the spot according to my pops

The good players they did draft, traded away....Ariza, Frye are the ones that come to mind right now

And I haven't even talked about all the FA busts lol

The Knicks are still probably paying Chris Dudley

drafted Fredick Wies.....no comment

Still through all this, incredibly I still haven't disowned this team, I want my Spike Lee award now

[DJ Rhude]

Is Mardy Collins still in the league?

lol, you're going to get me started on another rant

[DJ Rhude]

haha I actually liked Mardy. Solid defensive pg, solid offense and once in a while he would drop like 20. He did turn the ball over a lot though. Rumors says it that we're going after Augustin. I hope they can pull it off because Duhon is a bummmmm!

I want no parts of Augustin....not only is he undersized, he's clashing with Larry Brown.....Brown has a negative effect on young guys

How the hell did LB get heralded so much? IMO, he's a horrible coach

[jeffx]

I'm getting close to disowning them - 36 years of retarded moves is enough.

It's safe to assume LeBron & Wade aren't coming here. If Walsh doesn't have Plan B, shit's going to get uglier at MSG.

[DJ Rhude]

So basically he's living off his one shining moment....meh

[jeffx]

How the hell did LB get heralded so much? IMO, he's a horrible coach

I think he's a great coach - the record speaks for itself(college & pro). The friggin' Clippers were a playoff team under Brown. The 2000-01 Lakers only loss in the playoffs was to the Brown/Iverson Sixers. And a Piston team with no superstars went to two straight Finals. The problem with LB is he's a "my-way-or-the-highway" coach, a prima donna, carpetbagger and a whiner. His philosophy is breaking you down and remolding you into HIS idea of a basketball player. And he's famous for being brutal on his PGs. Players will only take that for so long.

[FedEx227]

He's living off a pretty early part of his career. His run with the Spurs, Indiana and Philly basically keeps giving him jobs. But yeah, I hate the guy. He's an idiot.
