<div class="quote_poster">Quoting BigMo763:</div><div class="quote_post">That would be huge for the Knicks if it happened, and will save Isiah's job... that's why as a Sixers fan I hope it doesn't go down. By the way, didn't Starbury and KG have problems in Minnesota? I'm not really familiar with their relationship in Minnesota.</div> they were really good friends then when marbury was on the suns he made a comment about amare being better then garnet or somethnig like that and then kg took it offensivly but i think he apoligized
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting j0se:</div><div class="quote_post">Larry Brown's system had Prince in the post too, Richardson is soft, he avoids contact and going to the free throw line, we could of got better for Kurt Thomas</div> he avoids contact? Is that why I've seen him pick up so many defensive charges? Is there anyone on this roster you DO like? And I doubt Prince would be posting up if Ben had Curry's game. You wanna clog up the lane? When the opportunity has been there the've posted Q up....the problem is it hasn't been used as often as any of us would like. Tell LB that. Oh and yeah.... Kurt Thomas is averaging a whopping 7 points 5 rebounds this season. Both are playing 10 minutes less than last season. I'm sure in Phoenix they're asking the same thing "why is Kurt Thomas so useless in life".

We could of got better for Kurt Thomas, not kept Kurt Thomas, make sense in your post If you going to tell me Richardson is a rugged non soft player, then you might as well stop following the team, consider you're not understanding whats happending out there, Richardson is completel negative energy You can't even tell when Richardson is in the game, its basically four on five for the Knicks when Richardson is out there, he doesn't move without the basketball and doesn't create plays Listen, for you tell me I hate majority of the Knick players is ignorant, you're not being open minded with me, I can see you want to defend our players, bu sometimes there needs to be a sense of reality, and a borderline when defending players goes too far, considering they're hurting the team, and not helping. What? so I bash two Knicks who have been negative energy all season in Robinson and Richardson now I hate this team? Great post.
that would be great, KG would lift us back to where we belong. NJ is the kind of club with rich history that players of KG's caliber should be.
Knickerbockers please!!! you guys know your not getting KG cause hes gonna go to the suckafree BABAY!! dumbass knickerbockers making these false trades BABAY! who wants to play with the knickerbockers anyway BABAY!!! cause i dont BABAY!!!

Great post.</div> you assume teams were kicking down the doors for a 33 year old jumpshooting powerforward... add to the fact he's also undersized. If you can find a better deal.. go take Zeke's job please. For someone so important to Pheonix he's not even starting. And I don't see what's going on out there? I don't see the rotation not being close to set? I don't see Q struggling to find his place on this team? I don't see the starting line up changing from hour to hour? I don't see a 12 man roster being used nightly with some players getting 5 minutes after playing 30 the game before? With that rollercoaster of a rotation is it any wonder it's hard for anyone on this team outside of steph to find a rhythm? Q is what he is.. a jump shooter... a scorer... but he needs to find his place on the team... and right now he's ***** out of luck.. but given the way he's played his career so far.. it's only a matter of time.. however.. I'm not out to make threads asking if he's useless in life? Yeah he's a negative energy cause he's not hitting his shots... I'll admit it.. but damn it's still the first month.... not to mention he missed preseason with his hamstring and now his back is bothering him. Maybe I'm giving the guy too much slack.. and if I am than that's my fault. And I never said HATE.. I asked you is there anyone on this roster YOU DO LIKE... 2 weeks ago you trashed Nate 10 games into his career. What is that? Cause he doesn't play your game? Cause he's an underasized guard? Cause he's not Jarrett Jack? Figure after that 0 - 5 start the team is 4-3. Steph is still getting used to his new role.... and I'm hoping Brown sees that Steph needs to score more for this team to win... Pass first YES... but I want Steph to take the games over when it's his time.. and I've seen him far too many times this year pass it up cause he wasn't sure what to do. Everyone's adjusting to their new role, new rotation, new system. That doesn't take a week or a month.. it takes time... especially under Brown and yeah the Knicks have messed up some games early on.. but that's something I knew was gonna happen... I'm not trying to defend every player simply cause they wear a NY jersey.. but I'm not gonna complain about them 12 games in either. Matt Barnes should never have been a starter... he couldn't hit the side of the moon. I'm not sure what JJ's deal is but he's sitting on 30 million so who am I to hate him. Malik Rose should never EVER EVER take a jumpshot.. not even if he's the only one on the court. David Lee has soft hands.. too soft cause he gets his dunks blocked too damn often. I'd say something about Mo and Penny but they see less PT than I do and I don't even play. Like in all NBA games... seasons tend to balance themselves out over time.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Strengths: Strong Character. Super rebounder. Has a knack for crashing the glass. Good defender. Great strength. Very good athlete. Perimeter game is showing improvement. Will be a solid pro at the least. Weaknesses: Ball handling, passing and outside J all need to improve. Now in just his sophomore season, Quentin Richardson has put himself among the truly elite players in college basketball. Making the switch from small forward to shooting guard, (in a move that will help him become a better pro) Quentin has begun to focus on the part of his game that is most lacking, his perimeter skills (shooting and dribbling). His greatest strength is crashing the boards and at 6-6 was among the Nations best in rebounding as a freshman. "Q" as he is nicknamed has great leadership abilities and has the potential to be a superstar on the next level. Quentin's outside shot has shown vast improvement as the season has progressed and he figures to be one of the top picks in the June 2000 draft should he make himself eligible. </div> Source j0se there is a draft profile for QRich when he came out of DePaul. He was never a strong perimeter player and was best on the inside. Just because the Knicks are not using him inside, doesn't mean he can't post up. There's just not much room in there for him to operate when you have Curry down low. The Knicks are trying to force him into a perimeter bomber like the Suns did, but that's really not what QRich is good at. In an article today, Larry Brown addressed the fact he hasn't really had a chance to work with QRich because of all the other players he's had to deal with. Add to the fact he hasn't been very healthy all summer and early on.

He has never played like that in the NBA, he's been a guy who hangs around the perimeter Career wise, over 40% of his FG attempts were 3pt shots...this season...its over 50%... Look, theres alot of guys like that... Look at Tim Thomas, one of the most talented SF in the NBA, he displays alot of potential in the post, but he doesn't use that ability to excel to the next level, isntead he just stands on a court and is a SPECTATOR and not a player.. Richardson has like Paul Pierce potential, but does it matter when he doesn't take his talents and elevate them a level he can? That what upsets me with guys like that, most guys in the world don't have this god blessed talent, hanging on the perimeter and watching the offense play without you isn't fair to the people who don't have your talent Richardson is a good 3pt shooter, but we need more explosiveness and attacking the basket with more agression, please get to the FREE THROW LINE
He actually has played like that in the NBA. His game with the Clippers was mostly going to the basket, posting up smaller guards, and rebounding. How do you think he earned that huge contract in the first place? He showed so much promise coming off his stint with the Clips, but, unfortunately, the Suns and Knicks have yet to utilize his strengths, only noticing his ability to shoot the 3 ball.
