February 3, 200620 yr Where they gonna play him? As a SF or what? They already have a log jam at the SG/SF position with Jamal/Q-Rich/Penny/etc.

This is how you build a 1-2-3 rotation: 2005/2006 Stephon Marbury $16,500,000 Penny Hardaway $15,750,000 Allan Houston $19,125,000 ($8,000,000 paid by Knicks) Jalen Rose $15,700,000 Quentin Richardson $7,000,000 Shannon Anderson $6,700,000 Jamal Crawford $6,500,000 Maurice Taylor $9,100,000 Close to $90 million, and this is before you tally up the salaries for the frontcourt players, one of which is a huge contract for the heartless, brainless Eddy Curry.

February 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2317958 Didnt see this anywhere, the Knicks trade AD for Rose and a first round pick. The Knicks now have about 7 guards who can't pass and wont play defense to go with Channing Frye and Eddy Curry.... and they just traded away a solid expiring contract. At least thats my initial reaction. Any other thoughts? my initial reaction is that isiah is dumb as f***. let's see, trade away a guy making 13 million in the last year of his contract for a guy making $15 million with another year on his contract at that rate. then add a shoot-first player to a team already overloaded with selfish combo guards. yep. dumb as f***.

WORST FRANCHISE EVER Wow, that is terrible. Thanks for putting together the numbers man. I totally forgot about Allan Houston. That's terrible.

Actually, insurance is paying the bulk of Allan Houston's contract, but the salary numbers are still astronomical. EDIT: The Knicks have to pay about $15 MIL or his remaining $40 MIL, and insurance will take care of the rest. Edited February 3, 200620 yr by hammerhead johnson
February 3, 200620 yr That is why you offer that team anything they want in exchange for their draft picks.
February 3, 200620 yr The New York Knicks have acquired Toronto Raptors guard/forward Jalen Rose and a first-round pick in exchange for power forward Antonio Davis, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reports. Hollinger's Trade Breakdown If there's a player who is the antithesis of what Knicks coach Larry Brown is about, it's Jalen Rose. Brown likes his players mentally tough and defensive-minded; Rose is completely offensive-minded and bristles at the slightest suggestion that he might no longer be a star. The two were paired briefly in Indiana and mixed about as well as peanut butter and tacos. Brown grew incensed by Rose's defensive lapses and banished him to the pine, and Rose got upset. Oddly enough, this pattern later repeated itself when Rose played for Thomas in Indiana, which is why I didn't expect to see Rose turn up in New York. Incidentally, Antonio Davis, now a Raptor for the second time, may agree to a buyout with Toronto, and if so one imagines he'll eventually land back home in Chicago. LOL, I am sure Michael Axelrod is thrilled that BOTH Davis' will be in town more often now. Edited February 3, 200620 yr by kyyle23
February 3, 200620 yr At first I thought this was just for the pick, as bad as Toronto's doing. But it's Denver's pick, and protected for the top 10 spots. How long before Brown's head explodes?
February 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 10:58 PM) How long before Brown's head explodes? I couldn't be happier for him. I refuse to feel sorry for such an extraordinary flake.
February 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 05:13 PM) I couldn't be happier for him. I refuse to feel sorry for such an extraordinary flake. I agree, he got his dream job + i despise him... what is not to love?
February 3, 200620 yr I gotta say, AD would help the Bulls out if only it would mean no more minutes for Malik Allen. I have no idea what the Knicks are thinking here, as has been posted over and over in this thread, they already have too many players at that position. And I agree, Larry Brown is getting exactly what he deserves here.
February 3, 200620 yr Guess this means Q-Rich is probably on his way to Atlanta soon probably, or even Portland, with Harrington or Ratliff coming back the other way. And what's the point really of getting these 1st rounders when Brown's not even going to play them. They make the Blackhawks look like a functional organization.
February 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 02:39 PM) LOL, I am sure Michael Axelrod is thrilled that BOTH Davis' will be in town more often now. Oh man...I so want Davis back on the Bulls. That would be great.
February 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 03:13 PM) I couldn't be happier for him. I refuse to feel sorry for such an extraordinary flake. I bet his money keeps him very very warm at night.
February 4, 200620 yr QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 05:44 PM) Oh man...I so want Davis back on the Bulls. That would be great. Not really. He would be nothing but a distraction after what happened.

February 4, 200620 yr QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 4, 2006 -> 01:17 PM) Frye? He should be starting. Instead Brown brings him off the bench. Even tonight, Mo Taylor gets the start.
February 4, 200620 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Feb 3, 2006 -> 09:26 PM) He should be starting. Instead Brown brings him off the bench. Even tonight, Mo Taylor gets the start. He averages 26 minutes and has started. nate robinson gets minutes too. I guess he plays them now that he has to 'cause he really didn't have to with more veteran teams that played more his style before.
