More Money More Problems

Biggie said it, the New York Knicks forget it. The organization has now shown that they will forever be the "Knicks", with thousands of fans stuck in a state a delusion (me included). But lets be serious here. The NYK 's have shown that they have not learned a thing since handing over 100 million to H20 (my fave all-time player). Things were finally looking up, Danillo Gallanari was improving, and we had a few good young pieces with plenty of cap space. Then what do we do? Blow it all up and look for the quick fix! SMH

Carmelo Anthony then became synonymous with Championship. The only problem about that was that he never even came close. Ok ok, his team wasn't good enough right? Right, but there's a lot more to the story. See below

Speaking of problems, now we face not one, not two, but many. And let the list begin. Count them up! (toes if you run out of fingers)

1. Carmelo Anthony isn't a great player. He can put the ball in the basket and that's about it. He doesn't make teammates better, he stops the ball, and takes terrible shots. Lets not add in his terrible defensive awareness and lack of getting back on defense.

2. Stat, the nickname should say it all. He's one of the dumbest players i have ever seen in my life. ( Sorry for the harsh words im sure he's a nice guy) He makes the same mistakes every game! I can go on forever about his lack of basketball knowledge but I guess videos says a million words. His CONTRACT has to be the worst contract since H20's.

3. Camelo Anthony and Stat are two max players that do not and will never be able to play at a high level together.

4. Tyson Chandler is worth half of his contract. Why hasn't this 7 footer brought what many believed he possessed? Toughness and Tenacity! Because he weighs 235 lbs! He's too small to make a huge impact defensively. Many other centers in this league are terrible defensively but make a bigger difference because they take up space. He only takes up space on offense.

5. No point guard. Not having a point guard in an era where there are many great point guards is, well you can do the math.

6. Mike Antni, most refuse to put a D in his name, I refuse to put an O. His play sets and late game calls are atroucious. Did anyone catch the play the Bulls ran to win the game where rose was a decoy and they had the backdoor pass open to deng for the jam? Mike would never do anything like that. Now a days its just give the ball to melo. Post him up 5 straight plays and hope for the best. I can understand giving him the ball every couple of plays but doing the same thing over and over with a bad outcome is the definition of insanity if i'm not mistaking. "He's got to GO, He will GO, but WHEN?".

7. Carmelo Anthony and Stat. Yes them again! Funny story, back when the knicks started clearing their cap space a friend asked me who do i want the Knicks to end up getting. I told them Lebron and if we cant get him then we should take our time and rebuild with young players and draft picks. Draft picks, they asked? Yes, because i would rather have a young fun team then a bunch of overrated players like Carmelo and Amare. And a couple years later, my dreams come true!

8. No Quick fix trade will get rid of Amare, Chandler, or Melo! The league gm's know they aren't worth the money and will be reminded daily because of the amount of press the knicks get.

8. Miscellaneous I had a lot more to add but this is getting tiring and depressing. Those are only a few problems, i'm sure we can go on for eternity.

The point is our "Knicks will always be our Knicks". We will always be the laughed about when we tell people were Knicks fans. Our organization just doesn't understand what a championship team consists of. We may look ok on paper but games are played on the court where flaws are highlighted ten fold when you step into the Garden.

(first post, sorry for the long read have been a lurker for the past few years and had to get it off my chest.)
