Are you kidding?????? This trade is a
disaster for the Knicks! Who is going to play center? Vin Baker
and Travis Knight?? YUCK!!! Alonzo Mourning and Pat Riley are
laughing their way to the top of the East. Baker is a PF and has had two
straight down years. I think ESPN called his contract "the biggest
mistake since Shawn Kemp's contract." Besides, he is too out of shape to
play in the NBA, let alone a center in the East.
And speaking of fat --- Glenn Rice? How
much is he going to complain playing behind some combination of LJ, Spree, and
Allan Houston at SF? Please.
The Knicks need to make another move,
obviously. Else they are really shot. I like the deal proposed on
this list earlier, but I don't think the Knicks would give up Houston and
Childs for VP and Kenny.

Everybody in the East is making out like
bandits except us. "and the Pistons". This is a monumental trade
for the Knicks! With the Magic, Heat and Knicks doing these things, it
just makes it much more obvious how truly nonexhistant and pathetic Pitego's
leadership"lack thereof" is. Other teams can make major moves
with/without salary cap, but not us. Yes, I know, you have to give
something to get something, but many teams are trading good players for
picks and to free up salary. We do neither, we stand pat and sign 10
year 2nd string point guards to 7+ milion dollar contracts. I know we
got a draft pick from Fortson, but I don't believe for a second that Pitego
deserves the credit here. Only Fortson and his agent. At least,
maybe, Detroit has a game plan to get under the cap and rebuild, we
don't. We do the same old thing over and over.
Sorry about the rampade, but we will NEVER be
better until Pitego is gone. It is that plain and simple.
