    All I want to know is where is he? Where is the guy we all thought would add so much depth and experience to the roster? Just one of the reasons why the Knicks didn?t make the playoffs. [​IMG]

    That's a damned good question!!! He's been missing in action for most of the season. With Houston out he could have stepped up as a major contributor. Is he upset over playing time or is it a real injury? Either way he needs to get his hamstring or his mind right. He can still be a big help to us next season if he's still around.
