    1) i'd fire Scott Laden
    2) i'd use all my point guards as bait to bring in a true point guard.
    3) try to get involved in a multi-player deal with the Blazers
    4) change the team logo and bring in new uniforms (something 2 get fans to come and watch)
    5) get Pat back in the city as a player/mascot/coach/waterboy anything, this team needs to regain its image as a team and city with a heart and soul. Ever since Pat left they have had no love, especially from their own fans.

    Getting rid of Layden is a must. Try to trade Charlie Ward or Howard Eisley, so it's only the other one and Frank Williams left to run the point. Hopefully Williams would develop into a solid player. Get someone to work with Doleac on his shotblocking.. he's really bad there :/.

    there's no way u can make a contender out of the knicks with only 5moves. they are a sad franchise, but i hope that they can turn it around and not just throw money away.

    i think the key would b to fire layden then trade away the role players for some young guys who can play and actually become a contender in the years to come, id also start praying that dyess gets better

    i agree. except i wouldn't change logo or jerseys, good trades would get the fans back i doubt new logo/jerseys would. Im all for number 5. Pat has done great things for the city, the city should do some great things for him.
