<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Both Malik Rose, obtained in the deal with the Spurs, and Maurice Taylor, obtained from the Rockets for Vin Baker and Moochie Norris, were scheduled to take physicals yesterday afternoon. Both are expected to shoot with the team this morning and most likely will dress tonight against the Pacers at the Garden. While most of this city was ruffled by Isiah Thomas' trades this week, the Knicks, as expected, stood by their embattled team president yesterday. "I think it makes us better," Marbury said. "I don't think Isiah would do anything to set us backwards." No matter what they think about Thomas' deadline dealing, one thing is certain ? the Knicks don't have much time left to turn around their season. That also means there is little time to acclimate their new players into the system and even less time to come together, which has been an obstacle for this team all year. Head coach Herb Williams knows he has a monumental challenge in front of him. </div> Source
