The Knicks, however, seem to be sticking to their plan to get rid of every single player on the roster in the hopes that Lebron can play all 5 positions next season. Sigh.

I'm a season ticket holder and so far I'm happy with what Donnie is doing, regardless of us lending LeBron or Wade or anyone like that. The point is that our teams is terrible and it has been terrible for a while, so getting rid of everyone is always going to be the correct. The only two guys the knicks shoudn't trade are Chandler and Gallo, since they are young and have a lot of potential. And that's exactly what Donnie did.

Now regardless of who we get, it will be hard to get worse. I think we wiill get better.

And I'm delighted with teh Sergio Rodriguez pick up. He is a good young ponit guard, also with lots of potential.

I'm not a season ticket holder anymore, but I agree with most of what you said. My only issue with the strategy they're taking is that I don't think Lebron is going to be some magical answer to all of the team's problems. It doesn't seem like there's a backup plan for when they've traded/fired everyone else and don't end up getting Lebron or Wade or Bosh or....

I am also a Knick fan ever since I visited madison square garden; it's a big gamble but thats what NY people(gutsy) are known for..:p

But just imagine; when it indeed can pull it off...Everyone then will say he is a genius and a new era begins like the Chicago Bulls once..

I would definitely be happy if the Knicks started winning again, I just don't like all the focus on Lebron... Maybe I'm just old, but I remember when franchise players used to stick with the franchise. Getting Lebron seems weird to me. It would be as if the old Knicks (back when they were good) had traded for Reggie Miller or Scottie Pippen. (Let's not even think about Jordan playing for the Knicks... that's beyond wrong.) I'd be happier if they had a strategy for winning that didn't involve buying another team's franchise player.

I saw Walsh's interview yesterday, and he keeps saying that he never mentioned anyone's names and never even said anythin about getting 2 max FAs (although obviously he thought about it). He says the cap space brings flexibility and multiple options, besides getting 2 max free agents.

Just for an example, we couldl resign Lee, TMac and Rodriguez, get 1 max FA, and trade Curry's expiring contract (after july 1st) for a decent center or draft picks.

We'll have multiple options. For the first time in a long time.

If that's really what he's thinking, then good. The cap space definitely brings flexibility, but the lack of any draft picks for the next few years hurts us. I'd hate to see us use up all that flexibility signing guys to max contracts who won't necessarily improve the situation.

Then again, Stephon Marbury is apparently still hoping to come back to the Knicks, so we always have options :-P

I liked T-Mac's attitude coming to practice today:

"I'm going to tell you guys like this: I'm a guy that I've made a lot of money over my career. I can retire right now and I can be fine financially and my kids can be fine when they get older. Money is not an issue," McGrady said Friday after reporting to the Knicks practice facility in Greenburgh. "If these guys were to bring in a LeBron or a D-Wade, along with a Chris Bosh or a (Amare) Stoudemire, I'd be a damn fool to not want to stay here.

"I am telling you right now, I will definitely embrace the opportunity to be here. Money will not be an issue."

In all this Lebron 2010 hype, i can´t help but think that the NBA would be a much more interesting league with more focus on the teams and not so much on the star players.
Have some interesting rivalries and a lot less of the star treatment BS.

I saw yesterdays game; indeed a good PG and Lee should be a keeper for the Knicks.
