I Like Zach

Good Lord, this blog must sound alien to the majority of Knicks fans.

I happen to think Zeke is being unfairly demonized as coach and GM. This is a decent team that certainly doesn't have great chemistry at the moment but the idea being floated all over the place that we trade David Lee to "improve" is insane. You don't trade emerging all-stars - evah!

Nor do we have to package the sixth pick to get rid of Randolph or Curry or whoever. If the sixth pick gets traded, trade for quality not to rid ourselves of someone. Maybe I'm a contrarian but I love Randolph's potential at MSG. That doesn't mean he isn't trade bait, merely that he has value as a stand-alone asset.

The other myth is that the Knicks don't have talent is bizarre. This is a young team that hit a speed bump because of an overly player-entangled GM/Coach. That is resolved.

The best scenario for the Knicks may be to draft the Italian SF Danilo Gallinari and stash him in Europe for a couple of years and make a trade or two on draft day for some extra picks. I believe Isiah is sincere in his desire to see this franchise blossom and I would be trilled if he influenced the Knicks landing a great draft pick or two.

I think next year will be a two act play. The first half season will rebuild trade value and in January the Knicks will begin to cash that in. February will mark the truest beginning of a new era.

Now, there is also a lot of speculation about a potential Memphis trade but IMO the wrong team is being bandied about. I could see the Knicks and Denver swapping Marbury and Curry for Iverson and Camby to change the mix in Denver and maybe save them a few bucks. The trade doesn't hurt any future Knick plans and makes the Knicks entertaining as they emerge.

Necessities

Ye Newe Glory-torium

Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
