I know we are ass this season, but we need to stop blameing isiah and larry and start doing what is neccassary to get back to the top like the 90's. What do you think we need to do about management and what type of players do we need, with in reason thur trade, free agency and draft. Who needs to go as well.

Ok, here's what went wrong with the Knicks. Even though I'm not a Knick fan, I live in the tri-state and have diagnosed this ordeal. It all begins when the Knicks traded P-Ew to the Sonics for Vin Baker, when P-Ew was slated to be a free agent in the off season. Instead of letting him walk and using the cap space, they took on Baker's enormous contract and have since then, accumilated more bloated contracts trying to win now. What they need to do is trade away some of the pieces that don't fit. Now we're working with Larry Brown's philosophy, Thomas' ability to get who the Knicks want and Dolan's wallet. The first thing to do is get a point guard who'll distribute first and score second. What I do is a sign and trade with the Nuggets for Andre Miller and Julius Hodge and give up Stephon Marbury. Two, you need to adress the plethora of wing players (Rose, Richardson, Woods). Take the two you want and the other is expendable. Or maybe just one. Rose's expiring deal after next year is attractive. And you want and need a defensive three man. Your answer could be in the form of another trade with Portland for Darius Miles. He was injured most of the year, but with LB, he can be a defensive gem. You could then parlay either Richardson or Crawford for depth at the four or five. Your future is now staked in the youth movement (Lee, Robinson, Frye) and those should remain there. Curry is an enigma, and has yet to realize his "potential" as he's not a good rebounder to be 6'11" and 280. So you need another big to get it done on the boards. You could turn Crawford and Taylor into someone who's a hard worker on the glass and some more depth. We look to the Sonics for Danny Fortson and the former son of longtime Knicks great, Gerald, Damien Wilkens. And finally, you turn Stevie Franchise into draft picks from a team in need of a point man.

If the penguins leave Pittsburgh no team will replace them, at least in this city.  They don't need and I hope they don't get a new arena, they are a losing team and Mario needs to cut his loses and realize that a new arena is not going to increase attendence or make the team prophitable in this town.  I don't know much else about the subject ;)  Just think they should leave and we should pick up an NBA team instead.

Losing Larry Hughes hurt them. They need a second scoring threat, and right now they don't have one. James is good, but he still needs help. It reminds me allot of the situation AI has been over in Philly.

Do what the Red Sox did. Fire the coach from last year, trade your best player, and get a long haired guy to bat 1st.

Poor guys, Knicks and twolves fans:( Heck what am i sayin, im a lakers fan(were doin a lil bit better, but were just playoff roadkill waitin to happen), but i thought the knicks should have been good this year, they have the talent, i dunno what their problem is, but Jay will only help them improve.

I am so with you man cavs are going to do excellent next year except Flip is a free agent so if Larry gets injured again (please dont happen) we need somebody to fill in for him.Anyway go Cleveland!!!

Will Blalock is not a good pick even if it is the last pick in the draft. I felt there were more talented players left on the board. I think they needed a post player anyway because Wallace might leave and they need some young blood there. Louis Admundson and Terrance Dials would have been better uses of that pick.

They need a star SG, like Vince Carter or AI. Gordon scores a lot but it takes him 20+ shots to do it. Pierce is staying in Boston...your offer wouldnt even be close to what it would take to get KG. Your talkin Gordon, Deng, 1st and possibly PJ brown. I wouldn't tear it down and rebuild yet. Give Big Ben some time to get comfortable. You have no choice really, he's stuck here for a while. They just need to get better defensively. Maybe Josh Smith of the Hawks is who they should go after.

They passed on Michael Jordan back in the day for Sam Bowie.  They trade Jermaine O'Neil for Dale Davis and they they pass on Chris Paul.  All things I've gotten to expect from the management now. It is a shame the blazers are that bad since the owner (Paul Allen) is one of the richest people in the world.  But he is also one of the cheapest.  I think we need new ownership and I believe it is going to happen soon.  He claims that the team will lose 100 million in the next 3 years, so he's asking for state funding after giving ownership of the arena.  I hope he sells the team very soon.

Yes, the team was very dissapointing.  I mean, they have Baron and JRich and Murphy but they SOOO underachieved.  They should have at least made a push for a playoff spot.  Now there's talk of trading Murphy away to make room for Diogu.  That might be good in the long run but if you don't stick with a player and ship him off, what's the point of having them?  Bad bad bad

How anyone with any basketball knowledge would give Isaiah Thomas a job involving anything regarding basketball is beyond me.  This is the same guy who bankrupted an well established league in a matter of months, the man who took a Pacers team (Larry Bird lost in the finals with them) and didn’t make the playoffs, and now the debacle in New York, they blame Larry Brown, who can turn the franchise around but it will take time.  Knick Fans if you value your team get him out of there. Me I would rather you keep him where he is because I hate the Knicks.  To answer your question Isaiah Thomas couldn’t fix a typo with WHITE OUT and the backspace key

Never. They could never win the NBA title this decade becuase the oganization is constantly briging in unproven young players and getting rid of veteran ones. They need to give the guys they have time to grow and get better together. Look at the Detroit Pistons, they may not have the best player but they do have the best overall team. They got time to get better together and now look they have the best record in the East.

Bottom half of the Playoff bracket again. If Kobe will put some trust into his teammates, next season they cold break into the top half. They could sneak into the second round this year.

The Knicks look to be in a pretty bad situation, seeing that they won't even be keeping their lottery pick which was traded to Chicago under the Eddy Curry deal.\n\nThey are loaded with too many individualistic players who enjoying shooting but don't have much in the way of a team ethic, something made worse by the fact that many of these players have huge contracts.\n\nHere are some steps they definitely must take:\n\n1. Keep Larry Brown. If anyone can motivate a bunch of overpaid unprofessionals it is him. He will do well to work with the young talent the Knicks have.\n\n2. Get Marbury to buy into Brown's system and accept his role. Marbury is seen as the key to the team rebuilding and he has to accept a leadership role.\n\n3. Trade off two of Jalen Rose or Steve Francis or Quentin Richardson or even all three for a defensive minded perimeter player and a solid inside player who can play good D. The Knicks should even consider draft picks if possible, the important thing is too get rid of some trigger happy swingmen and their large salaries.\n\n4. Find some way of getting rid of Jerome James, either as an add on to a trade or something. This may prove very difficult considering his salary, but he is pretty much dead weight.\n\n5. Find a way to keep Eddy Curry fit and productive. Without his post up presence the Knicks are seriously weakened.\n\n6. Most importantly, the Knicks management need to make some half decent trades for once!

Hey, I'm a fellow Giants fan, and we really, really need help on defense.  Lavar Arrington would help, but what we need to focus on this offseason is our secondary.  We need to draft a linebacker in the draft and let him develop, I don't think Lavar Arrington will lead us anywhere.

You bring up very valid points and I agree with all but one, that he is slacking off.  At 36, there isn't that much left in the tank and I believe that he is trying to give it all that he has got, especially with Shaquille out due to injury.\n\nLastly, I just think that Zo' should have called it quits after he won the title last year.\n\nHope this helps.

Ya Isiah is Ruining the franchise more than it is already was Larry brown who screwed up as a coach with 42 different line ups! i mean their is no chemistry their! Renaldo Balkman was chosen 20th by the knicks he shouldnt have been in the 1st round but in the second round but i truly believe no one would have toched upon him he could ahve been free agent and the knickscould ahev signed him! the knicks neede adn still need a pure point guard and a good passer. MARCUS WILLIAMS the best guard in the draft adn the best pure point guard adn passer! Knicks had a chance to get him instead they got some sucky guy like Renaldo Balkman. I mean they passed on him and the NJ Nets got him thier rivels, with the 22nd pick and then they got Josh Boone a very good forword! Two huskies back-to-back! The Nets made a samrt move because they ahve an amazing point guard who can replace Jason Kidd when he retires which will be soon. Now Jason Kidd can teache Marcus WIlliams some tips and handers to help him, I mean Jason Kidd is an amazing Gaurd. The Nets drafted two huskies basck-to-back  adn thats really smart because Marcus WIlliams is friends with Josh Boone and they were on the same team (Conneticut Huskies) so they know how one another plays, so they wont have a problem and then they are surrounded by some of the NBA's best: Vince Carter, Jason Kidd, and Richard Jefferson. They also ahve Kristic who can get some bench time and have Josh Boone Play. Like in the Playoffs when Nets faces Miami and couldnt take on Udonis Haslem and Shaq, especially Kristic. He was having a hard time and no nbench time because no one was good thier to replace him for a while. As for the Knicks fan i am a big one and now really like the Nets too even though they are the Knicks Rivals. The Knicks needed a pure point gauard and passer but they dont get one instead draft Forwards! I mean seriously, Isiah is a very good drafter, after all he was the one who Drafted Channing Frye and Nate Robinson, he also got David Lee who sint that bad.I don't know how but the knicks need a miracle and need to pull thier act together. When the Knicks drafted Renaldo Balkman, Spike Lee was like he is a sleeper and will remian a sleeper . a sleeper\nKnicks are giving Isiah Thomas 1 year to pull the team together but he messed up already with  the draft i mean if u had the chance to Draft Marcus WIlliams who was like a really good top 5 canidate i would draft him. Well lets see wut happens with the Knicks.\nIsiah is beoming and amzingly bad GM
