Posted by TMS:

let's all join hands & sing kumbaya.

Calling out Eddy Curry as a bad risk well in advance!
Ray Allen is better (but way too expensive) than Marbs!

Good stuff!

Don't think this has gone unnoticed...

djsunyc wrote:here is a list of players that we should simply say "NO THANKS" to this summer in any type of sign and trades. besides the NASTY contracts that will be returning, here are the other reasons:

RAY ALLEN - 30 years old, with some history of knee trouble. looks to be the h20 remix.

ZACH RANDOLPH - young but very selfish and just had microfacture knee surgery...yikes.

ZYDRUNAS ILGAUSKAS - 30 years old and sssssssllllllooooooowwwww. doesn't fit our team.

MIKE FINLEY - 30+ years old and CLEARLY on the downside of his career. also plagued with injuries.

ERICK DAMPIER - contract year player who's proving once again, that he's a bum.

EDDIE CURRY - irregular heartbeat. fills a need but another injury risk.

THEO RATLIFF - on major downside of his career and looks to be finished.

WALLY ZCZERBIAK - doesn't really play defense but major albatross is the contraact.

JALEN ROSE - plays zero defense and is selfish.

POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS:

ANTOINE WALKER - b/c he won't be coming alone. it will be packaged along with MARK BLOUNT also has a nasty deal. he's also getting to the wrong side of 30.

SAR - soft temporary fix that fits the knicks philosphy perfectly.

more players will be added as the summer progresses. feel free to add players.
