Re: Francis is a Knick! Yes I saw right after I posted..That was the 1st thing I saw on ESPN, so I decided to post immediatly..
Re: Francis is a Knick! i really really really hope this trade works out for us. i can't stand being the laughing stock of the nba. we have an all-star team on paper. it just hasn't translated into victory's.

I probably should've made a new thread about it anyway.
Re: Francis is a Knick! For those of you Knicks fans who wish to view the Francis press conference, its avaible on NBA broadband on NBA.com..
Re: Francis is a Knick! Ofcourse this will improve the Knicks, whenever getting a player like Francis and losing two players that didnt help at all will help. Francis is known for being one of the best scorers, him and Marbury wont help out a lot playing together but he sure will help them on the offensive end.And also he will be number 8 on the Knicks.Heres the link - http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives..._for_franchise/

It buffered the whole way but it just says NBA Broadband and LIVE EVENT.
Re: Francis is a Knick! It came up for me, its over now, though..Not much to speak of. Francis didnt look too happy though, neither did Brown. Francis kept asking why he would fit in and what position he would play and he repeatedly said he "is a ball player and just wants to play". Conference didnt last long though, a couple questions and pictures with the jersey, you didnt really miss anything..

But this trade reallly doesnt help. And i read a rumor they wanna trade crawford 4 earl watson.. Which still doesnt help. cause if that happens this is what team looks likePG. Marbury. Steve. Nate. WatsonSG. Steve. Rose. Q. Marbury. Nate" Nate has ran a lil SG this season.......SF. Rose . QPF. Frye. Rose . TaylorC. Curry .James Frye . Butlerteam just doesnt work....All those players and shoot 1st players.

I am a huge fan, but you can't win without defense... Isiah killed this team when he brought in an offensive point guard, when the Knicks needed a defensive stopper in the back court... Now, we have two guys in the back court that love shooting the rock, and hate playing defense.... Were all set... :censored2:
Re: Francis is a Knick! "this trade won't work for the knicks". that's all you people say. if this trade doesn't help then what <Censored> trade does? name some players cuz every rumor seems to be the wrong one for the knicks according to you people.

They need to acquire some role players and build around their younger players and get some balance on that roster. The problem is, not many teams are going to be willing to accept a trade from the Knicks for players like Marbury or Richardson, but something needs to be done because the roster as currently assembled spells disaster..

Re: Francis is a Knick! I don't get this trade, two combo guards? I dunno reguardless it's still going to be interesting to see francis/marbury play together

They are a laughingstock and an example of everything that is wrong with the NBA.</div>yea they are right now. but you people start bashing this trade before francis even put on a uniform and stepped on the garden floor. how do you know this won't work? just because they are both offensive players doesn't mean <Censored>. francis isn't a pg anyway he's a sg even tho he is undersized. and larry brown said he is quick enough to guard pg's and strong enough to guard sg's. like i said, before you completely bash this trade, wait until you see what happens. i'm not saying it's going to work out and i'm not saying it's not going to work out but i at least will wait and see how it works out.
