which means crap haha. now if they were speaking of say shawn marion or dwayne wade or lebron thatd mean something but sadly all this means is.. well nothing. we will probably trade the 6th pick once we realize the first two picks are all that matters. also once minnesota takes OJ at 3. i only really see us keeping the pick unless we somehow get beasley or rose (not gonna happen) or OJ Mayo.

Welcome to the forum fellow Dominirican brother.
Thats why I laugh when people come on and rip Walsh and Dantoni,A couple of months ago players would rather play in Alaska than play for the Knicks and Isiah,It all starts with RESPECT and at least now we have a little.We need to start slow but at least were starting somewhere and not moving backwards.And on a diffrent and very sad note my prayers go out to my two union Brothers from local 14 and 731 may God bless them and there families.

i agree a guy that has all star ability will want to go to the spotlight and to get it is an LA or NY. we all saw Pau Gasol waste his career in Memphis then he comes to the Lakers and he's known throughout the country...I know it's a dif situation with Kobe and Odom being on the team but teams with high prestige attract better players just like in college basketball. ALso look at Kevin Garnett completely wasted his career with the T'Wolves who went no where with him and he goes to Boston with Pierce an Allen and a presitge team he happier than ever and in a championship and on every commericial since the beginning of the season. Locations and teams makes a big difference especialy on a player who desires the spotlight and is a leader like a Lebron James and this is why I think Lebron might pack his bags after his contract because he seems to me like a player that would want to play for a higher prestigous team like a NY possibly but thats just my opinion.

The NY appeal
A lot of agents want there players to go to a place like NY, becoming a star in NY is amazing experience. Look at david lee, he's a good young player, that is treated like a superstar anywhere he goes, because he plays in NY. Happens to be one of the few bright spots on a terrible team. It has a little to do with the fans, you can go aywhere and there will be someone who used to live in NY around. And if they were a basketball fan they'd be a knick fan. The other thing is, if you are a stud, your marketablility is big in NY. It's just that right now the knicks have the stigma of being a sinking franchise around the NBA that keeps established stars, besides artest and Marbury(both a little nuts), from wanting to play here.
