eh, this is just for a laugh...if you have no sense of humor, this is your chance to push the 'back' button on your browser, and leave now... on with the quotes...assembled from other boards in reaction to the francis trade: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh happy day! Isiah just made one of the worst trades in NBA history and I couldn't be more excited. The prospect of Marbury and Francis in the same backcourt could be its own reality TV series. I can't wait for Marbury to bring up the ball and The Franchise to start jawing at him followed by Steph hurling the rock at Francis' head and a brawl ensuing. This is too exciting for words. LONG LIVE ZEKE!!!" Nathaniel, New York, NY </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I've gotta say, I'm totally in favor of the Knicks' trade for Francis. Larry Brown is a master motivator and a great coach, so if anyone can make the tandem of Francis, Marbury, and Rose work, it's him. It's like the Fab Five at Michigan ? all that talent in one place is destined to win. What? The Fab Five didn't win any titles? Oh. Jeff, Seymour, IN </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Steve Francis to the Knicks -- unbelievable. I've been trying to think of an analogy that equates to what Isiah is doing to the woeful Knicks and I've got it. The Knicks are his scab and he keeps picking at it. He looks at it, knows it's not healed, picks it ? and it bleeds again. Unfortunately, now it's infected, beyond repair, and it's time to amputate." JCA, Richmond, VA</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Please tell me that Isiah Thomas has plans to trade for Antoine Walker. Please, for the sake of my amusement ? Chris Juvinall, Sacramento, CA </div> my personal fav <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">My name is Josh and I'm 29 years old. I was a Knicks fan. Tell my parents that I love them and please make sure my cat finds a good home." Josh R., Jersey City, NJ</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Does traffic in New York slow down as it passes Madison Square Garden so people can get a better look at the car wreck?" Chad Watson, Prince Albert, Canada</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">A few weeks ago, you wrote about how Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis should be traded for each other every few months, since they both wear out their welcomes with new teams so quickly. Do you think Isiah Thomas read this and totally misunderstood it to mean that he should put them both in the same backcourt? I can't think of any other explanation as to why he would make this move. To that end, what do you think Isiah has to do to finally get fired? Can you imagine the ridiculous trade he will have to make to finally get the Knicks' front office to realize they have the worst GM in the history of sports? Because they seem to be the only people unaware of this." Dave Sugarman, Brooklyn, NY</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Can you please write a eulogy for all Knicks fans? I think after today's debacle of a trade, we are all going to commit a mass suicide by jumping off of the team's payroll stacked up in the air in all single dollar bills</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Oh god, oh god, oh god, Isiah, oh my god, why? Why? Why? Why? Why? </div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hahahahaha! I think Isiah should trade for Jason Williams and Damon Jones so that the Knicks can become the first-ever team to start five despicable shoot-first point guards. Also, then New York could play their all-point-guard team against Atlanta's all-small-forward team and we could finally see which position is better." Petey, Chicago</div>
some more...and a new personal fav: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">MC Hammer, even in his prime, was more fiscally conservative than Isiah, yet he is currently unemployed. I demand a reality show involving Robert Downey Jr, Tom Sizemore, Kate Moss, and Gary Busey, among others, just to prove that no matter how many drugs you consume, you are still capable of outperforming Isiah as a GM.</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Sadly, I am an ex-New Yorker who is still a huge Yanks and Knicks fan. How long before Stephon is throwing bullet passes at Stevie's head for taking 15 shots in a row, followed by Stephon taking 16 shots in a row, followed by Eddy Curry walking off the court to grab some slices of pizza followed by Jerome James just laughing hysterically at the far end of the bench as he realizes for the umpteenth time he is making $8 million a year for the next 4 years. Dude, this might be "Lost" on a basketball court. There is something deeper behind this madness."

Funny stuff... I just got done reading an article on espn about the worst gm's of our time. It had to be one of the funniest but dead ass TRUE articles i've ever read... If you haven't read it yet, click and enjoy a good laugh http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/060224
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting B-22:</div><div class="quote_post">Its ironic you would say that.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j0se:</div><div class="quote_post">I could make funnier jokes. 76ers are going no where either, you're missing the playoffs with us. Go cry about the dunk contest. </div> You are a joke. I know the 76ers aren't going anywhere, but what does that have to do with this topic? And the 76ers are in the playoffs, go do your reserach. While your at it go watch the dunk contest again, just like it didn't take Dre 5-6 time to do the best dunk of the 06 Dunk Contest. Do your homework before you talk. Go cry about your worse then bad Knicks team, I hope you enjoy having the highest payroll in the league. What is your pay roll about 123 Mill? Tell Isiah to pay some good players.
I wish I was at the garden tonight to see the game... If not for anything but to just see how bad its going to be for the knicks.. The knicks are nothing short of a soap opera, they are a laughing stock! anyway I bet the nets win tonight, they should give the knicks a handicap just to be fair

I hate Isiah Thomas, you have no clue...but I'm a Knick fan, no one is bashing your team, you don't need to bash my team, or I'll have to do what I always do with you, make you look like a clown. Just stop now, you're looking for trouble.

I thought Nets would be the favorites and suprise people this year, bu they obviously underachieved and really aren't that agressive fast break defensive team they were when they made the Finals. You guys need Bryon Scott back....but this isn't the New Jersey Nets forum, go discuss your issues in your forum...where like a total of 2 Net fans post
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Alright guys, chill out now. </div> Yeh but really, people come here openly, just troll and take shots at the Knicks, when we've done no damage to their teams, Knicks are the worst team in the NBA and still are the talk of the NBA. The trolling needs to stop.

We've seen a lot of trolls here, especially after the Nate dunk contest, but we'll just have to deal with one clown at a time. I don't think B-22 meant anything by his comment, either. He wasn't trolling.
I find the two Knicks fans actually describing the jokes as "corny" more funny then the letters themselves. Chill out Knicks fans, even you know your team is bad. It's not that big of a deal. What does Philly not being in the playoffs have to do with anything? And honestly, I really dont see a point in you guys defending the Knicks until they prove that Isiah is honestly not the stupidest GM ever, or that they are not just being watched cause people want them to fall farther. Regardless of what you may come back with regarding my favourite team, It doesn't matter because I can always say: "Atleast we're not the Knicks" My point is that the article is just a jab at the Knicks, chill out and have a laugh.
