Philly played well and dominated.
It won't be the last game we lose this season.
Crawford looked bad.
Knicks at 1-1.

Marbury Tempest II
Alan Hahn has it wrong on his blog and most of the New York Knicks beat writers are equally out of touch. Marbury does not lose trade value sitting on the bench. Not at all.
His true value is as an expiring contract but secondly as a man possessed to win in a contract year. There is no doubt he is done with the Knicks but the Vegan Fish Tacos blog provides a strong clue as to one destination that Marbury might eventually find himself in. That is, Dallas.
Jason Kidd is leading the Mavericks nowhere and that's obvious to many people. He, like Marbury, needs to be relocated. Marbury might thrive in Dallas and finally get a chance at a ring. Kidd is a veteran who is not Marbury and can contribute here in a system which will increase his resale value.
The clock has been ticking in Dallas and Mark Cuban is not one who will sit tight with Kidd. The championship expiration date on the Mavs is rusting. If any team is in a must-win-now situation it is Dallas.
Can the Knicks help?
Let's examine a broader trade that rids both teams of undesired baggage and maybe sets up Dallas to go long into the playoffs.
Would Dallas consider a Kidd, Dampier, and rights to Shan Foster for Marbury, Curry, and Mardy Collins swap?
Infusing Marbury into the Dallas line up might be juice Dallas needs to finally realize their dream. Curry complements Diop and is no better or worse than Dampier. Collins gives the Mavs a nice future piece.
The rights to Shan Foster, Who is currently in Europe gives D'Antoni a sharpshooter who can arrive next year and gives the Knicks that extra roster spot to bring Ewing back onboard.

Where Jason Kidd goes, so goes frustration.
He mangaged 7 points, 7 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals, but the Mavericks still lost to the Rockets.
Who among us does not believe that this will be a recurring theme?

Brooklyn: Too Big To Fail?
In my first post on the effect of the global meltdown of markets, let's tackle the question of a deepening financial crisis that effects New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut more dramatically than any other part of the country. A depression so sudden and disarming that New York is no longer the global financial epicenter of prosperity but just another backwater big city with an auction house.
Already there is the observation that the global power-players who have cash to burn are interested in New York properties and Ratner whose Nets have been little more than a money sink for years may be expendable.
In an exhausted New York economy, it is not inconceivable that an Asian buyer of a team like the Nets might simply pack up their acquisition and move them out to Seattle rather than keep them in the New York metro area.
Whether it is the Nets or another team, expect the face of the NBA to change dramatically and suddenly as the economic cancer spreads through the American sports market.
It won't be long before the Knicks are playing the Sheiks.

The Marbury Tempest
New York's usual suspects are creating a mini-controversy regarding the fact that Marbury did not play against Miami in a blow-out game.
D'Antoni explained that he is pursuing a futures line-up rather than a win-now strategy. At face value this makes perfect basketball sense. The issue isn't whether or not Marbury could play a better game than Mardy Collins who had a poor showing. The broader issue is that Mardy Collins needs the opportunity to succeed or fail in D'Antoni's system so that mid-season trade decisions can take that information into account.
Marbury's absence in garbage time may more be a sign of respect for Marbury than an insult. Marbury is not on the bench as a garbage time player. Inevitably, D'Antoni will insert Marbury into a high-pressure, must-win situation and D'Antoni will expect Marbury to respond with an "I'll show you attitude." Part of what makes D'Antoni's high octane methodology work is adrenaline.
You can be sure when Marbury takes the floor there will be sparks.
*****************************************************************
There's some talk about an Eddie Curry swap with Golden State to acquire disgruntled Al Harrington.
No one would be happier than I to rid ourselves of Curry whose shelf-life in New york has expired. Curry has created a situation in which fans and team are emotionally exhausted from watching him mold his character around Jerome McJames instead of Shaq in his prime.
Curry should be working 24/7 to redeem any self-respect he has left or this contract will likely be his last.
But the broader issue for me is what Al Harrington might add to this squad and that's an odd algebra. I like the fact that Lee, Gallinari, and Chandler are developing. While Harrington is a better Malik Rose, he would inevitably steal minutes from our future core.
The real player question is whether or not Harrington enjoys playing the uptempo game. If he's unhappy under Don Nelson, anyone trading for him needs to understand why. After all, not even getting rid of Eddie Curry is a good enough excuse to acquire a player who hates the system we're running.

Knicks Beat Miami
Curry and Marbury sit.
Lee and Chandler shine.
D'Antoni livid - Knicks blow twenty point lead in the fourth. I'm guessing that doesn't happen again.
The skinny: Crawford needs to discipline his game, Mardy needs to shake a bad outing.

Predicting Surprises
I'm predicting 40 wins this year.
Tonight the Knicks will need to re-establish a tradition of winning at home. My guess is that they beat Miami with a superior offensive game.
Because the Knicks are not odds favorites to win anything, fans will be keeping a close eye on the injury situation of teams that need to win now and there are plenty of them. In the current economic climate few teams can afford to get off to a lousy start. Those that do will either trade for help or think about moving to Seattle.
Tonight the Knicks field a team that will never look back. Eddy Curry is going to have to work very hard to play again. I doubt that Zach, Lee, Gallanari, or Jeffries will let up their desire to play. That leaves Curry in a position to shape up or consider becoming an over-sized comedy duo with Jerome James in a Big Momma sequel.
Curry's benching has a strange sense of deja vu to it. Last year, Curry informed Marbury that he was being benched which set off the entire Marbury/Thomas disaster.
Yesterday, Curry was told by the press and not D'Antoni that he would be guarding the Gatorade. My guess is that Curry is traded at the first opportunity.
****************************************************************************
If TNT and ESPN have decided to eliminate Knicks games from the schedule their sponsors should accept the fact that nobody will be buying their product. Love them or hate them, the Knicks draw an audience that few other teams can claim.
Barkley will be howling to a lonely studio. I sure as hell am not tuning in if the Knicks aren't featured.

Ewing, Jr. Cut
I'm actually okay with this move.
Ewing was a project on a team that isn't in the business of developing projects. Ewing will be better off developing a game elsewhere, maybe Europe.
D'Antoni and Walsh I think have done the kid a favor. The primary job for the Knicks is to thin the existing roster when the opportunities arise. There is a lot of redundancy that needs to be pared before a kid like Ewing would ever have a chance to see the light of day.

There is a God
Alan Houston was cut.
He'll hang around to appease the holy-roller crowd but IMO this is a welcome sign that D'Antoni's Knicks are free of the circle jerk that became emblematic of the Knicks downward spiral.

Van Gundy's Observations
Berman's blog features an entry that reports on JVG's Knicks prediction:
I think the Knicks are going to make the playoffs at the six or seven spot. They are in a pack of teams some of whom are worse and many of whom are over-rated. A season of uninterrupted play is really what the Knicks need. And that means no more delusional ideas that the size of the salary dictates the number of minutes.
So far, D'Antoni is doing what needed to be done for years - make the players earn their playtime.
*******************************************************
On a sidenote, the pre-season play of Zach Randolph apparently is opening the eyes of a contending team or two who are front-court player away from the top.
I'd hate to lose Zach but he might get reluctantly traded for a deal previously believed to be too good to be true (think three-way).
"They have a definable identity and it's the first step in turning it around,'' VG said. "I definitely think they'll compete for the playoffs. I can't see them not making a dramatic jump in wins, from the low 20's to high 30's or even the 40's. That's what they should expect, to make the playoffs. You don't pay those players all that money if they don't have talent.''I have had my differences with JVG over the years but I tend to agree with his analysis.

The Epiphany
Last year I advocated the trade of Curry and Crawford at the January trade deadline. Furthermore i speculated that Isiah's problems were largely his personal entanglement with the trio of Marbury, Curry, and Crawford - all of whom he wooed to New York on highly personal terms.
Marbury was a breath of fresh air after Layden although it worked out poorly.
I thought trading for Curry was worth a chance if the price was right. Isiah overpaid but I could live with it. Crawford I was never impressed with.
I thought Larry Brown exposed all three.
Thankfully D'Antoni has the integrity to reconcile the problem. Marbury is starting to earn his keep.
Curry and Crawford need to go. The problem is that there are few sensible trades or destinations for Curry.
Hold your nose. Here are some very risky and contrarian proposals:
*************
Malik Rose and Eddy Curry for Brad Miller and Kenny Thomas. Sacramento mostly saves cash and rents a younger Brad Miller clone for an extra year at a better price.
New York gets an aging Miller and a pine brother but moves the disappointing Eddie Curry to somewhere he can play.
This is basically lateral movement of players who no longer fit where they are.
*************
*************
Rose, Crawford, and Curry for Redd, Gadzurik, and Villanueva.
Milwaukee upgrades at Center, economizes at SG, and saves $$$ with Malik.
Knicks swallow Redd's giant contract and Redd adds 2 pts per game at SG. Gadzooks and Villanueva vie for the front-court pine.
*************
*************
Blount and Chalmers for Curry. Miami takes a chance on Curry, the Knicks buyout Blount and take a chance on Chalmers.
*************
*************
Rose and Curry for Darko and Walker.
*************
*************
Curry and Crawford for Dampier and Jason Terry
*************
*************
Curry, Crawford and James for Wallace and Szczerbiak
*************

I Count Four Potential All-Stars
My gut tells me that David Lee and Nate Robinson are on a trajectory to become All-Stars this year.
Zach Randolph is also setting himself up for a fine year, maybe even one qualifying for an All-Star nod.
The only other player who I have a hunch about is Wilson Chandler. I think he's going to come out of nowhere to lock down the SF position and possibly a surprise pick on the All-Star team.

Get Back!
There's been a lot of discussion of Gallinari's back problems lately with an emphasis on a bulging disc.
Generally a slipped disc (e.g. bulging) isn't necessarily a ruptured disc (a disc that has broken through its surrounding wall).
I'm guessing Gallo's condition is a slipped disc and these usually reset themselves with therapy. Athletes who properly strengthen the back muscles can sometimes prevent future episodes because the back muscles refuse to allow the disc to escape its natural position.
In any case, fans who believe that back injuries are terminal indications of problems are prematurely writing off Gallinari.
Let's get this guy strong and gradually playing. Back issues require time and strengthening.
No rush.

Pre-season Win a Harbinger of a Knicks Run
D'Antoni is here to win. I haven't seen any games yet but I checked out all the blogs I respect and they reinforce the conclusions I've already come to.
First, 2010 cap space is a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. Chandler is going to be a monster. I said so when he was drafted and his physical presence is going to lock down the SF position forever. He will be to the Knicks the kind of dependable, everyday workhorse that Bernie Williams became for the Yankees (same athletic archetype as far as I can tell). He is going to put up double-doubles routinely and be a handful for opposing players.
By 2010, the free agent market will have trouble competing with our existing talent pool.
David Lee. He ain't leaving anytime soon. He's another hard core Knick who will contribute forever in a number of roles.
Zach Randolph is already making a fool of Milwaukee, Denver and the Clippers and any other franchise that passed on trading for him. He is going to have a monster year and will become as beloved a presence as Oakley and Ewing were.
Marbury still has some mileage left. The best trades are often the ones that don't happen. Marbury will never quiet critics but winning will overwhelm that conversation.
The other Knick who I've liked from day one is Mardy Collins. It is still too early to tell if he will blossom but this preseason is showing serious progress. we have to remember that it takes 3-5 years of being int the league for point guards to hit their stride.
That brings us to Chris Duhon. I liked this acquisition because Duhon is ready to take off. He's been around long enough with enough floor time to really show his stuff.
The Knicks backcourt is deep and is going to rock. D'Antoni can run teams ragged especially on nights where the other team has played back-to-back games.
The Knicks are going to shave a few extra wins based solely on their depth of talent.
Like it or not, this year's personnel remain the Frankenstein concoction of Isiah, Brown, and Dolan. They've been severely criticized for years. it will be fun to watch them gain league respect the hard way - by winning.

Better Late Than Never
I have a good feeling about the coming season. It's hard to know how the team will shake out before opening day but I fully expect the Knicks to make the playoffs and have a surprisingly strong year.
The talent is here and has been. At training camp there was an epiphany, though that's not the correct word, that not much had changed. There were a few new faces but the bottom line is that the eclectic set of talent Zeke had accumulated for the past four years is back and they can choose to win or to lose together.
The decision to keep Marbury around surprises me but at the same time makes some sense. If the Knicks have to pay him anyway they may as well get their money's worth. I'm not sure I buy the argument that Marbury's presence in the locker room is all that detrimental. For what it is worth these athletes are supposed to be professionals. In the world of sports that rarely translates into the expectation that they are mature, reasonable intellects.
As fans we've been burned so often by this group that believing in them one more time is both difficult and trite. Even those of us who believe they can win will be dismissed as hopeless optimists for expressing the sentiment. Yet, I think there is a winning team in this bunch. I have the same feeling about these Knicks that I had during the seventies after the Yankees had one losing season after another.
There are some misfits here but if Marbury, Jerome James, Randolph, and Richardson decide to play ball this could become a very interesting year. The Knicks are an unintentionally deep team mostly because their contract to winning record ratio has made too many of them immovable in trades.
Yet, it is precisely teams that have a degree of continuity that win in the NBA.
Put me down for 41 - 45 wins this year.
My guess is that Grunfeld, Roberson, and AH get cut. In February a trade will be made to make room for AH to rejoin the team as a player and to participate in the Knicks first playoff series since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Nice Writeup of Knicks Blogging Sites
Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo Sports gave us a kind thumbs up for the efforts put into this blog as well as recommending a few more.
Thanks for the goodwill.
Thanks for the goodwill.
The Knicks play in the biggest NBA city there is to be had, all by their lonesome, until Jay-Z and his Nets come into Brooklyn. The Knicks haven't been good for a while, making the playoffs just once since 2001, but we can smell something in the air. Maybe not change, per se, but good bloggin'. You can smell it.
And if I can offer any advice when it comes to reading Knicks blogs, it would be to start your morning at Knicks Mecca. Why? It's a well-written, interesting blog that not only offers smart analysis, but also a handy little RSS feature on the left of the site, which quotes the top story leading off several Knick-related blogs.
