he is woefully inconsistent. I wouldn't mind some poor D from him if he dropped a solid ppg above 20 which he is obviously capable of. His no.s are gonna drop potentially this year. Assumption yes, but if it doesn't happen this year it's not far away. We HAVE to trade Z Bo! I think we should trade Crawf too before it all goes to sh1t. I know Z Bo is not included in the title of this thread. I am also aware that there is a thread specifically aimed at trades for bettering the Knicks. But I'm going to have myself a frickin' thread jamboree and throw in a trade that clears the Knicks of Crawford's inconsistent play and Z Bo's fat ol' salary.

We gotta get rid of Crawf. We gotta get rid of Z Bo.
We're not gonna get to the playoffs this year with this team and even if we do, it's gonna be short and sweet. Thomas is the catch here. If moulded properly his ability to be a power shines pretty bright.
No playoffs this year as I say. It seems very unlikely with:
Orlando
Boston
Toronto
Detroit
Philly- def improve throughout season
Atlanta-
Indiana- def improve throughout season
Cleveland
We are 7th now but that's only courtesy of a very tasty schedule from Stern to kick off the season.
All these teams are better than us.
I have no faith in Crawf to hold us through the critical points and get it done. Nor Z Bo really.
Crawford is good when he's good, but, like Marbury he just doesn't phuckin' get it. He gets it more (obviously) but he doesn't get it enough. Inconsistent
to the umpteenth degree.
Keep looking to the future because holding on to the present isn't really a wise step. That's what I reckon.
Until half the team gets shipped,
Go Knicks!
After they do,
Go Knicks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
