The Knicks aren't changing anything about this roster. D'Antoni never said he was going to run Phoenix's offense in NY. He CAN'T. The Knicks aren't built for it. Marbury sounds like a crying husband pleading for his wife not to throw him out on the street.
My Knicks best bet is as follows
draft Rose or Beasley
play out the string this year (no more trading for stupidly long contracts on marginal players)
GET WILSON CHANDLER AND RENALDO BALKMAN ON THE FLOOR
Put Q Rich on the injured list and don't let that muthafucka off.
wait til the end of the year when we FINALLY will get some cap space and go head hunting for stars eager to make a name for themselves by resurrecting a franchise, (See Shawn Marion, Allen Iverson, Chris Paul, Deron Williams,Ron Artest, LeBron ain't comin Y'all...)
