Walsh and D'Antoni are playing down the recent trades of Randolph, Crawford, and Collins as preparation for the summer of 2010 but that's not the whole truth.
Donnie for all his understated humility knows damned well that Harrington, Mobley, and Thomas represent a wholesale upgrade to the Knicks. Most obviously, Thomas brings far more to the table than Collins was expected to this year. ad to the fact that Thomas knows and thrives in D'Antoni's system and this is a major upgrade of the bench.
Also, refreshingly, Harrington wants to be here to win NOW. And Mobley isn't shy about seconding that motion. Harrington will fit much better than Zach and Mobley is an upgrade to Crawford who I couldn't wait to see gone.
The real question is just how far Walsh can harden this roster this year with the same subtle moves.
make no mistake, by the time LBJ is available the Knicks will be winners. Expect the Knicks to knock the Cavs out of the playoffs this year should the matchup materialize.
Quietly, we're seeing a contender form.
I'm adjusting my win expectation to 40 games.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. 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.
