thats low.

i think its just that there is no room on the floor. who are we gonna sit??? larry hughes? i’d love that but its not gonna happen. nate wont sit. wilson deserves time. danilo needs to be out there. harrington has to play. and how about letting toney douglas dwtdd?? honestly unless there is a real roster shift we dont need em.

when donnie said he almost traded for almond last season i thought there was no way he wouldnt be invited to camp. What makes it worse is that walsh said that during a summer league game when mo nuts was shooting the lights out

  I already used up all my patience watching Anthony Roberson chuck bricks while we missed out on Patrick Jr. Now we get to watch Sun Yue on the bench while Almond splashes jumpers in Orlando? I don’t know man.
  I just keep telling myself: Donnie’s been around for a long time, he’s knows better than me, he knows better than me…
  I’m getting moderately irked!

Are you guys legitimately angry about who our 15th man is? Mo Almond is like JJ Redick-lite. Pardon my curtness, but who gives a shit that we didn’t sign him?

As for Donnie, I’m totally catchin what he’s throwin here. Sessions would have been a nice little acquisition and the courting of every PG over 30 was definitely weird, but Donnie’s got his eyes on the prize. Lebron or no Lebron, we’re going to essentially have our whole salary cap to blow. On real players. Sure this year might be a little bit painful, but if having Sun Yue bring in a couple million yuan makes Dolan more comfortable opening the wallet, then I’m all for it.

I think we should have invited Almond to camp. He did very well in summer league. Perhaps it had to do with playing time oppourtunity, who knows

I’ll forgive him in the long term because maybe he does have a genius master plan to bring us to the basketball promise land

but…

short term I wanna shoot him in the face.

his actions have contradicted his statements several occasions already. The biggest misnomer being the fact that two over the hill (pun intended) vets were offered tons of cash to come here on multi year deals despite his “sticking to the plan” mantra. One could say those vets could be used as lures for Lebron in 2010…and one would be wrong. WINNING and cash are the only relevant lures here and those moves would have dwindled both of those features.

and then came the “workouts”

Now this is old news to us and I’m already typing too much but I can’t fathom why any sane GM not suffering from dementia would operate in this manner.

It’s almost as if everyone can obtain a tryout with a legitimate shot of being a Knick except for, well….young and talented players.

I’ll get over it cuz I love the team but it aint been easy

it’s just that all these small little disappointments and dodges from catastrophe make me nervous. The fact that they seem to contradict his own plan at times worries me. And the fact that I can’t put together a solid logical explanation for a few things is very very frustrating.

At this point there are no players out there that can help make a difference so as long as we get N8 nd Lee back(even though I’ll be surprised if they’re here thru the trade deadline). I’ll be happy and the brass can say the summer was a success.

But all the small miscues has me wondering what is coming next??? What plan is being schemed? Will it blow up in our face? And if so can it be avoided?

we found this out before Mo Nuts was featured on the official P&T t-shirts.

It’s true that Mo nuts is more of a classic SG and has some shooting talent. But…. now that they know Nate is returning, and they’ve got Ghostface to back up Duhon (or vice versa, just watch) they need to get N8, Chandler, and Hughes minutes at the 2. Maybe Walsh thought it was just going to bring them more controversy than anything else, and he might be right. They need a real team player in that spot willing to accept a garbage time only role, otherwise it’s a headache for the coach.

I think Walsh likes to cultivate good relationships with players and build up his reputation as a good guy. He probably told nuts that while they liked him, there wasn’t much of a shot at cracking the rotation and that he’d be better off going somewhere else, where he can tell everyone in Orlando what a great guy Walsh is….

Because I think Gallo and Toney Douglas are badasses and everything else will flow from there. I think Toney is our Walt because 1. he played great man to man defense in college. 2. He’s not too short, too slow, or too weak. 3. He has a good head and leadership qualities. 4. He can shoot and score the ball when he has to, and he can pass, too.

I think that after this season we won’t even want to bring LeBron in, because 1. The dude can handle the rock, shoot from outside, and he’s 6’ 11". 2. He’s got that confidence, that attitude. He’s not intimidated and he’s got the skills to back it up. And he enjoys backing it up. 3. He’s not a bad perimeter defender. Again, attitude.

I would welcome Wade coming in and being the ‘Pearl’ for us – I think that’s a great fit. But I think LeBron is not really what this team needs, unless Gallo is unable to stay healthy. Sure, I guess this is just preseason optimism, but are the Knicks worse than the Cavs without LeBron? I don’t think so.

randolph morris was the heart and soul of the 2007-08 knicks and anybody who says otherwise is a hater and probably very stupid for that matter. the fifteenth man provides countless amounts of entertainment. and i’d rather it be morris almond than pretty much anybody, except sun yue.

mo is an nba-quality talent, not a starter, but a solid bench player. this will be a lot like how we passed on von wafer last year after summer league and signed anthony fucking roberson instead, and von was a contributor on a playoff team, and roberson was a deep bench guy for the bulls.
