Remember Knick fans. We are special people, and we are entitled to a championship. We just need to be more patient and demand immediate results.

Blowing a team up just because you are pissed off because the team didn't come to your expectations?
What happens if the next group of players do bad blow that team up too?? The reason why we don't have a great team is because Sterns and the NBA have thier foot on our neck. Every law that they put in place was geared to block the big markets. The knicks franchise is the riches in the league. We could spend 150 million dollar a year on players and still make money. I'll give you an example the Yankees out spent everyone in baseball thats why they won they could out bid everyone.
The NBA is getting like pop warner baseball and football. Give little Johnny his chance to play no matter how bad he is. Give the little markets a chance to compete also. This is not how our financial institution are. May the strongest win. Who has the money and willing to place the biggest bid gets the prize. But not in the watered down NBA and their cheating refs.
he should have used green font... he is messing around.
dont agree on the yanks analogy fully. the 90s run into now had quite a number of home grown guys, decent trades, and some decent free agent pickups. money allows them to absorb poor performers. outside of that, the recent run (past 10 years) is they havent won as much as bos/stl/sf.

Maybe we could try to bring back an old friend, talk them out of retirement like Bender or Jerome James and give them playing time no matter what to help them with their comeback. Imagine how brilliant the new gm will look when this move works out.

Money freedom is what the Yanks had and no one could beat them at it. When the Yanks wanted a player no one had their foot on their necks stopping them. The Boss just did it. If there was no cap you better believe the Knicks would be one of the best. We would now have Chris Paul and other pieces.
