Harrington- Crawford- Randolph
Harrington can be very good. At 6-9" & 250lbs, he's inside-outside, can handle the ball, take a charge against bigger players and block the odd shot. He's going to relish the opportunity to be the starting 4 man. His minutes were cut in a new approach effort by Don Nelson.
The trade of Z Bo was a bummer. How he's going to fit in a front court along with Kaman and Camby I don't know. the absence of his cash sapping contract can help Donnie and Mike breathe a little easier. Especially with their (now even more so) obvious intentions for the future.
Crawford comparatively with Harrington was hot as a mexican's lunch when he was hot, but he was terribly inconsistent. As to whether or not Harrington can perform on a constant basis given his ability remains to be seen, and will make or break him at the garden.
Crawford has had his best days I believe. He could never maintain a night in night out desire to perform at his best. Good memories though.
So, I guess the 5 for now is;
5 Lee
4 Harrington
3 Thomas? Q? Willy C? Chandler should take the spot I say.
2 N8? Mobley? Q? That remains to be seen
1 Duhon
If Lee isn't traded in the coming weeks, then he will have to play well a lot more often. If he doesn't, his stock will drop and we won't have as much leverage with the possibility of packaging him with Fats Curry who is obviously up next on the block.
We are in desperate need of a 5 man. Probably 2 actually.
Lee and Curry can be successfully traded for Brad Miller of the Kings and all contracts are beneficial to the 2010 season. But, it won't happen.
That'd be nice to have a passing 5 and a hot shooting 4 though.
2010
2010 is sooooooo phucking far away. It seems that keeping your fingers crossed with a multi-million dollar franchise is a bit outlandish. And tanking it up for the 2 proceeding drafts is another hit and hope.
The points of appeal for 1 or 2 superstars are.
It's Mike D. He's loved by the entirety of the US Team roster.
When you have a sh1tload of cash, NY has a lot of ways for you to spend it and feel like a king.
The Knicks have cleared enough room to palm off approx $17m to their first preference/year. That's some serious lettuce.
The interns in NY let you have intercourse with them.
I'm irrelevantly thinking it's gonna be D Wade and Amare. I'd prefer Bosh and James.
BTW, we were never gonna make the 8 at the end of the season.
If this succeeds then it's happy days. If it doesn't, somebody is gonna get Bolivian on Donnie and Mike and kill them slowly.
Could be me!
