Good to read some Knick News!
1. I like Steph, but seriously the Knick management needs to tell him no more interviews without a P.P. rep. I agree with him about how Vick is being torn down by the media a bit harshly, but to say that dog fighting is a sport and to compare it to hunting is just ignorant! I don't agree with hunting for sport, think that the only time a deer should be killed is if that deer is providing dinner for the hunters family(Chris Rock once said "Only in America do people hunt on a full stomach") but hunting is legal like or not, dogfighting isnt! I'm originally form NYC and dogfighting is almost as common as pickup games, so I guess that's why Steph was so nonchalant on the severty of the pit fights, but he needs to realize that everytime you speak in a interview those words are documented and analyzed so he must be a lot more carefull with his words because he is really starting to undermind his Starbury movement which is a great cause.
2. I love to hear optimism on the Knicks landing a key player. Look can the Lakers just part with Bynum and Odom to such this big baby up and dead all the Kobe trade rumors! I don't want Kobe as a Knick frankly, we're not any closer to a championship than the Lakers are and it won't be long before this little brat is doing the same to us. I can see it now he blasting Knick managment for not wanting to part with a player like Lee or Balkman (assuming we don't lose them both in getting him). I hope Ron will be our starting 3 come opening night(well it won't be opening night he's out for a month) but if we land him Q is healthy and Zach and Eddy mesh then we have a bonafied playoff team, not just one that gets in because of a weak conference
3. Who the HELL DOES D NICHOLS THINK HE IS! This is the problem with Pro Athletes! I take it D. Nichlol's agent told him how a good summer league means instant stardom in this league! Now he is telling the managment about what he is not going play, you're a rookie 2nd round pick be greatfull for the position that you're in. Do some research "D", Langdon out of Duke was a great shooter in fact was a lottery pick, but is now a 6th man in Europe. More recently look at JJ Redick, good shooters come along in every draft and can be found on almost every European sqaud, so watch the bridges you burn because the NY spotlight can be damaging to your career if not managed right, ask Larry Brown. What his agent should be telling him is how getting a rep as a headcase early in your career can create a stigma that is hard to shake. Sac got to witness his game first hand, I wouldn't at all mind seeing him moved in a deal for Ron. Dan, Nichols, Morrision, Nate a pick and another contract shoud get it done.
