    Trade him. He is no better than any other european the team has had since petro. Maybe we can get a couple draft picks.

    Damn straight, If John Wooden was 40 years younger and Oden was healthy, they could probably lead this team to an NCAA title.

    You're right forgot about him. He doesn't really count. He didn't have to prove himself. He was already a star.

    I think some people would argue that Rudy, with his excellent play in Europe and the Olympics, is already a star, too.

    When did the D'antoni Knicks become successful?

    If the Knicks led by Duhon as his PG become anywhere as succesful as his Nash lead teams were - come to me and tell me I am wrong...

    Unfortunately for David Lee he wouldn't have a choice. Fortunately for David Lee he can play 3 different postions making it a lot better situation. I'm not sure that its Sergio thats making as big of deal of this as his Spanish agent is.

    In a perfect world Sergio would realize that he has a great role on a team destined to be great with a locker room that he even says is great. Its too bad if anything materializes out of this because he's a great backup to bring in and give a spark off the bench.

    Another young up and coming player who will be trying to prove himself in the league to ultimately get a big payday? We need to look at acquiring vets who are acquainted with roles and accept them, rather than more young guys who will settle for a lesser role and a lesser payday, because there's not many of those guys out there. We have Lamarcus and he's the future at the PF spot. This is a business, with money hungry agents out there licking their chops to get money in their pockets and easily persuadable kids listening to them. If you aren't mortgaging your future on young players these days its awfully difficult to appease them in committing to the team concept.
