The King of Side Projects (Stephon Marbury) needs a new one. Otherwise he is going to run this Knicks team into the ground with his selfishness. Since he's already conquered TV, the shoe industry, and streetball, I think he should try his hand at late-night radio.

He can give relationship advice. Like, "go get a random Knicks intern and take her in the back of a truck". It'll be great!

What projects can you think of Starbury?

Ayo! The Scion himself is a Knick! Unfortunately, this means we'll have to part ways with the draft rights to Frederic Weis.

Come check it out and let me know what you think.

The world just got a little more blatantly racist.

We open at home against Miami, and then play 81 other games against the other 29 teams in the league, alternating home and road dates. Balkman comes home Dec. 28th, and, although Ball Don't Lie says it's probably a glitch, our last game of the season is a home game vs. NJ in Minnesota.

Both have been waived. They couldn't have waited long enough for me to write a "getting to know Bobby Jones and Taurean Green" post?

Not in the Garden, not at his alma-mater, but in Vegas. No word on if Charles Barkley's tab in Sin City is a candidate for number retirement.

"The New York Knicks are trying to convince big man Jerome James to retire, the New York Daily News is reporting.

James, who will earn $12.8 million over the next two years, has every intention of playing next season and is even considering joining a group of veterans for voluntary workouts this weekend in Las Vegas."

Jerome? Playing next season? Volutary workouts? This?

Bizarre and unexpected...just like the man himself

"Knicks property:
Nate Robinson - 4th year, MVP of last year's summer league
Renaldo Balkman - 3rd year, coming off a disappointing sophomore season
Mardy Collins - 3rd year, suddenly buried deep among veteran guards
Wilson Chandler - 2nd year, coming off scary knee sprain after solid finish to season
Danilo Gallinari - Rookie, first look at the sixth overall pick in his North American pro debut

Interesting addition:

Brandon Hunter 6-7 F (Ohio) - also played in Italy
Antoine Johnson 6-1 G (Albany) - from Berman's alma mater (d'oh!) and played in Turkey
Paul Miller 6-10 F/C (Wichita State) played in Poland and previous Knicks camp invitee

With Philly acquiring Elton Brand, Toronto adding Jermaine O'Neal, and the Nets getting...Brook Lopez?...the Atlantic Division has certainly stepped up the caliber of big man. Don't forget about the Garnett and Randolph acquisitions last year, either.
