yea why not, might as well give them a shot over here

being on duke in college means nothing to me. they hardly ever pan out. i mean redick passed who? laettner to get the duke record and danny manning for the acc record? neither of them have been stellar nba players. other than grant hill, boozer and whats his name on the clippers, duke players have generally done poorly in the nba. they make a great team in college but are awful individulas in the nba. redick will be overmatched in the nba

he says randy is ready as ever... and then he calls philip hughes the next clemens??? ugh way to set up disappointment

one more day my friend

i wouldnt know where, ive posted on the giants board and only the giants board since 2002 until i came to sportswrath

duke players on average suck in the nba. on top of that, redick has no true position. he's not a point, he is too small to play the 2. he obviously gets tired reeal easy, the best i can see him doing is the poor man's korver. i'd take morrison (although he better shave that stache0

there is a tourney, gw already clinched a first round bye. it looks like they might play st louis in the first round... in other (bad) news, pops is going to see dr andrews today. dr andrews is never good news

fuck redick

any college bball fans would be nice. doesnt matter who, they might even post on the gneeral discussion as well which would make that more interesting

not saying much... they'll easily beat duquesne this week but their toughest game left is against charlotte as their last home game... they might lose that one without pops, especially since charlotte wants in the tourney. gw also clinched the regular season a10 title, so they might take it easy. i dont know, depends how much they want to impress the committee still

hopefully regis koundjia, who hobbs puts his talent into the grouping of rip hamilton, ray allen and caron butler, saying you can't compare themto him will step up... too bad he's a fucking small forward though

he missed the first couple games because of a suspension...

how did this get in this forum?

just curious... i have a brand new car and need to get it changed, according to the manufacturer suggestions

pops mensah-bonsu out 2-3 weeks with a partially torn meniscus... fuck...

did all those topics below get locked?

No one has been working the phones like Isiah Thomas, who has been frantically trying to remake the Knicks roster before the February 23 trade deadline. The latest rumor is the most outrageous yet: the beleaguered Knicks GM is trying to deal the entire Knicks squad, plus TV color analyst Walt “Clyde” Frazier, and Anucha Brown Sanders, the former Knicks employee accusing Thomas of sexual harassment, to Detroit for the Pistons starting lineup of Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and Tayshaun Prince. The deal would be part of an extraordinary eight-team trade that would involve 24 players, 16 future draft picks, 4 coaches, 3 General Managers, and 2 assistant trainers. As compensation for Detroit, both Thomas and former Knicks guard Allan Houston would come out of retirement to shore up the Pistons backcourt. “I can still play,” Thomas assured skeptics. “Bring it on.” Never in the history of the NBA has an entire team been traded at once, but Thomas, defending the moves while juggling two cell phone calls and a second sexual harassment charge, reminded reporters that “I told you none of my players were untouchable. Not Stephon Marbury, not Channing Frye, not Jalen Rose, even though I just traded for him.” In the past several weeks, Thomas boasted of having talked to almost 200 players about coming to play at Madison Square Garden. “Shaq, Kobe, Dirk, you name it, I’ve called them,” he said. “Everyone wants to play in New York, but not every team can make it happen.” Asked why he would break up a team that is 40-8, Dumars said, “You don’t mess with a guy as desperate as Isiah. He has a plan, he’s in great shape, and I fully expect that we can keep the Pistons playing at the championship level that fans are accustomed to. We’re trading away 5 great players, but we’re getting 12 in return. We’re getting a fine TV analyst in Clyde Frazier. And we’re getting an upstanding young female executive (Sanders) who should step right into our front office.” But news reports coming out of Detroit suggested that the Pistons were forced into the deal by NBA commissioner David Stern, who has long believed that the league needs a winning team in New York to bolster TV ratings. “If I sit through another Pistons-Spurs Finals, I’ll kill myself,” Stern was heard muttering to no one in particular. Thomas was recently hit with a second sexual harassment charge from a Garden scoreboard operator, who claimed she was fired after bringing up the errant pass Thomas threw to Larry Bird, costing the Pistons Game 5 of the 1987 East Finals against the Celtics. “He called me a Bird-loving shrew,” said the woman, who wished to remain anonymous. If the deal goes through, the Knicks will become almost certain favorites to at least reach the .500 mark, and perhaps even sneak into the playoffs. “Of course I’m excited at the chance to play in New York,” said Rasheed Wallace, “even if it means being reunited with [coach Larry Brown].” Rip Hamilton echoed his teammate’s thoughts: “It’s almost as if they scratched out the Detroit name on our jerseys and replaced it with New York.” Predictably, Knicks players were stunned. Stephon Marbury, his head covered in white towels, left a practice session without speaking to reporters. Eddy Curry reported a recurrence of his irregular heartbeat. Only ebullient guard Nate Robinson seemed optimistic. “We’re going to the best team in the NBA,” he said, before being told who else was going to Detroit with him. The Knicks will fill out the rest of their team with a variety of future draft picks and players to be named later, culled from eight different teams. Another rumor has Latrell Sprewell returning as the Knicks’ Director of Media Relations. Perhaps no player was happier about the blockbuster trade than Pistons backup center “Donnie” Darko Milicic. “I finally get to play,” he said in halting English.

this trade all depends on francis and marbury. marbury must now switch to the 2 because francis has no jumpshot. i have no idea if francis can play defense though. i remember he could in college but that was a while ago. they just need to create shots for curry and frye and they could potentially be better than the disaster we are predicting

here's to hoping that the nba has a strike and the teams are forced to cut all of their players due to a lower salary cap a la the nhl... this is the only hope for the knicks

i just dont understand why larry brown endorsed this deal...

Steve Francis is headed to New York under a deal agreed to Wednesday by the Knicks and the Orlando Magic, ESPN.com has learned. The teams agreed to a trade of Francis for Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza, two league sources with knowledge of the deal told ESPN.com. The trade was expected to be announced later Wednesday afternoon after being called in to the league office. In New York, Francis will be paired with Stephon Marbury as the highest-paid backcourt duo in the NBA. The Knicks were still talking with several other clubs as team president Isiah Thomas worked at remaking a roster that has stumbled to the league's second-worst record, 15-37. For the Magic, the trade will provide salary cap relief to a franchise that can now go further beneath the cap than any of the league's 30 teams in the summer of 2007 when a bumper crop of free agents will be on the market, giving Orlando several options in figuring out how to rebuild around 20-year-old power forward Dwight Howard.

surprised with all the disgruntled knick fans on here, nobody wants to fire isiah
