However they try and spin it, this trade makes no sense. Rose is a terrible defender; not exactly the type of player Larry Brown is going to embrace. The draft pick belongs to the Nuggets, which means it won’t be in the lottery and probably will be in the bottom third of the draft. Lastly, by making this move, the Knicks are essentially giving up on Quentin Richardson, who they brought in at the cost of Kurt Thomas.

The best thing Isiah Thomas could do right now is put on a uniform. That would prevent him from making anymore dumb trades and give the Knicks the point guard they so desperately need. Saturday, the Knicks fell to the Hornets 109-98 with Stephon Marbury missing his third consecutive game.

Antonio Davis is at home in Illinois serving his suspension for entering the stands Wednesday night. Yesterday he angrily refused calls to apologize and appealed his suspension while reasserting his original story that an intoxicated fan attacked his wife, Kendra.

Do you think Larry Brown might be reconsidering his decision to leave Detroit for New York? Since Detroit is a league-best 32-5, it is probably safe to assume that they have no regrets about Larry’s departure. Thursday they showed their old coach that he has a lot of work to do if he wants to ever see the NBA Finals again.

Ben Gordon beat the Knicks again last night. Gordon hit a jumper over Trevor Ariza as time expired in overtime to give the Bulls a 106-104 victory. Stephon Marbury did not play for the Knicks ending his consecutive game streak and the date of his return to the lineup is unknown.

At least the Knicks are making progress. Normally a 84-79 loss to the Clippers like the Knicks suffered Wednesday wouldn't be cause for celebration. This loss isn't either, but at least Gothamist saw some signs of life in the Knicks. Of course, everything is relative for a team that is 6-12.

The Knicks will definitely have a new look this season, but the question is will the results be different from last season? Eddy Curry is the first real center the Knicks have had since Patrick Ewing left, but we can only hope that the Knicks’ cardiologists are right in letting him play. Antonio Davis will provide toughness up front, but at age 37, how many minutes a night can he contribute? Channing Frye, Nate Robinson and David Lee will bring youthful energy, but youth also means that they will make rookie mistakes.
