i’d love to watch gil on this knicks team too. all kinds of crazies. while they are at it, they should sign spree up since he was a local favorite anyway. i’d be watching every knicks game just so i don’t miss anything. of course NBA tv HAS to have a tv crew around them at all times like it’s a reality show. greatest show on earth in the greatest arena on earth!

Artest says that every year.. and nothing ever comes out of this.It’s like he can trade himself to the Knicks or Knicks can afford to pay him.

I would love to see ron ron and gil in NY. Spree can come back too. He was the only one who did anything in the ‘99 finals.

vtrobot, you forgot about camby trying to dunk in every rebound.

vtrobot says:
i don’t remember much about camby in that series. he’s just always been one of those people (i.e. mcdyess) who play better before or after their time with the knicks. how about bron and ron ron on the knicks in a couple years?

Knicks! says:
we’ll at least have a defensive cornerstone for a mid level contract
but first manage to draft OJ Mayo New York!
even if we trade players to get a higher pick, I wouldn’t mind. I would like it actually. Then we can start talkin’ about signing some nice players

Patrick Ewing Jr. will lead the Knicks to multiple championships. You heard it hear first.

@blackjack: Is there a D-League Knicks team that I don’t know about? I thought that their real team died and all the D-Leaguers were actually playing for the NBA squad or at least that’s what I assumed by looking at their record last year.

Knick says:
Knicks need Rasheed. Artest would obviously be great too. Crawford can run the point with Nate. We got so many other holes, impossible to fix in 1 offseason. Keep Nate, Lee, Jones, Balkman,Crawford, trade everyone else for Rasheed, Artest and some good role players. Reaching the playoffs is the goal, probably 38-40 wins should be enough. Maybe we should also target Kirilenko, but what to offer them for him? So who do you think, will the Knicks get in the end?

Ron, Sheed, Steph, Gil, who else? Just go for it. They do have Curry & Jerome James, so that’s 2 more headcases… The ought to dump David Lee & maybe Crawford. Those two seem almost sane…
