Knicks Almost Win the Draft Lottery

2006_03_sdailynewscover.jpgName the two best players eligible for the upcoming NBA Draft. Maybe you like Tyrus Thomas or Adam Morrison? Well, the Knicks would have been in position to pick one of them after Tuesday’s draft lottery, but they traded that pick away last year to get Eddy Curry. The Chicago Bulls now get the chance to use the #2 overall pick on the player they want and also will have the option of swapping first round picks with the Knicks in 2007. Nice work, Isiah!

Meanwhile, back with the team, things could not be more absurd. Owner Jim Dolan is reportedly prepared to give Brown $25 million not to coach anymore and install Isiah as head coach, but he hasn’t made up his mind so Brown is currently working out potential draft picks for the Knicks.

While we can’t argue with Dolan for being sickened by Brown’s job, if you are going to clean house you have to go all the way. Buying out Brown while keeping Isiah is ridiculous, both need to go or both need to stay and see if they can clean up the enormous mess they have made. Better yet, can an owner fire himself? Maybe then the Knicks would have a chance.

That Daily News back cover is awesome - I don't know what Isiah's been telling them, but I'd love to know so I can pull that on someone.

And the Knicks have to get rid of Marbury.

Is it karmic that Keith Van Horn is playing in the Western Conference Finals? He was playing really well for the Knicks before Isiah traded him and for who but Tim Thomas! and Tim Thomas who was Knicks Poison, is playing in the Western Conference as well for Phoenix. FUCK ISIAH THOMAS!!!!!

the only saving grace is knowing that if the knicks had not given up their first round pick for the cardiac kid, they would have wasted it anyway. probably sign some mediocre 3rd stringer out of bosnia or italy, or a 6th man from a division 2 school, and never play him anyway. then they would go out and find some rehabbing former stud and sign him to a golden parachute for 5 or 6 years that closes the cap on NY for another 10.

when will you all listen to me - kill jim dolan and then all will be well again in gotham. he's a fucking spoiled brat moron - just wish he would start hitting the pipe again and have a heart attack.
