Knicks need to get younger, bigger, & more athletic. If nothing else was shown this series, that was.

No rebounds, no rings, as Riles always said. He's right.

Godawful officiating. Woodson should have stepped up the way Doc did, took them to task publicly, and absorbed the fine. Respect isn't given in this league, it's demanded. Refs clearly don't like or respect the Knicks. A 46-18 disparity at the foul line is just a joke.

Shump is the future. He needs to shot 1000 jumpers at day all off-season. He will be a really good player once he becomes more consistent from the outside. I hope Prigs returns, I hope Kidd & Camby retire.

Melo played with a lot of heart this series, if not always high basketball IQ. He really could use a Chris Paul. A smarter player and a wonderful playmaker. Wish there was some way that could happen...

JR said he wants to retire a knick. He also said he loved his teammates and coaches. I agree with Wally, he is too good of a talent to let walk.

JR is not a winner. He's not a guy you can count on to be a major piece.

I am hoping for the same, but I don't any team will give a big deal because he proved unreliable when the chips are on the table.

If we can keep Smith and Copeland then we'd have a nice scoring punch off the bench with those 2 and Amare. We need some starters though.

+10. Shump is going to big time player in a couple of years.

I would think he'd get an offer of at least 7 mil per. Which I'm hoping he takes and GTFO.

I don't know now...Knick panel looking at CP3..

I'm in your camp but why is the panel playing it up so much...

They don't know what they're talking about. Only way is for him to take a minuscule contract to come here or via a sign and trade which Amare will have to be involved in. Not happening.

I hope he gets it.

Hahn doesn't know what he is talking about?

Hahn isn't on the beat anymore. His job now is to always spin positive. This CP3 talk will keep fans engaged. It can't happen.

To create false hope for whoever is willing to fall for it or drink the FOOL-AID....

Which is true but this was a little different..They were painting a picture of the locker room being in factions..They are making it look like Chandler is on the outs...Just saying...OK...
