I prob. go to about 10 Knick games a season. It really is frightening just how bad their stating/overall line-up actually is. I would bet they do not have a top 50 player in the league.  

What Walsh has succeeded in doing is while getting the team in better financial/cap shape, he has severely weakened their talent level. Now if (and it's a big if) they are able to attract high quality free agents (doesnt have to be James or Wade) next year, and their draft picks actually develop, they can compete.

Yes, faulty cap management has certainly hurt the Knicks over the past decade (starting with the Ewing trade in 2000). But, I think the real problem is that the Knicks have not drafted a consistent all star caliber player since Mark Jackson in 1986. That's 23 years ago. The draft is so important in building your franchise, and the Knicks have simply struck out. That's why recent picks like Lee, Chandler, Gallinari, etc. are vital cogs. If they can ultimately produce at a high quality level, you can bring in free agents and then you will have a nucleus of an excellent team.

But is it possible to use that punk energy in a productive way?  Tell me this new haircut is not real.  At least it shows his love for the Lakers..

And if anyone can coach and control Artest, it's Jackson. It's going to be interesting watching the Lakers with Artest, the Odom marriage, and the Hollywood media. The West will come down to the Lakers and Spurs. Now the East should be fun to watch with the Celtics, Cavs and Magic.

Going to the Clippers is apparently hazardous to your career.. or just hazardous, period.
