1st...knicks are a joke...lebron knows it, dwayne knows it, n bosh knos this...nobody is goin to NYC except the New Jersey Nets...Go Dubs

Artest is a bad as.sss...and Chewy, Artest isnt saying he is going to NY...read it...he said he wouldnt be afraid to go there, that there would be no pressure...Really hope the NBA gets a pro basketball team in NY soon...they need one...

They already missed their chance at him in the draft and took a 17 year old from france that never played a minute.

No one wanted Isiah and Stephon drama the past 3-4 years.

Wow gardenscape49 you have a good memory. I can't even remember who drafted whom 5 years ago.

the knicks killed the careers of starbury, stevie franchise, penny hardaway, eddy curry and countless others since the scott layden era.
it killed isiah's rep and coaching/executive career. it destroyed don chaney and lenny wilken's prestige. even larry brown had a hard time landing another coaching gig after one disastrous season despite back-to-back final appearance right before he came to new york.
madison square garden is cursed.

After Isiah finished doing his hatchet job on the Knicks, is it any wonder that anyone wants to go and play there? The Knicks are history- they will never be but what they are today. But then again, you reap what you sow.

artest is a loser n will all ways be one.i give him no more respect for joining the lakers.wasn't he the one that was saying he going to cut kobe neck off and then now that are best friends now..sounds like soap.artest is a bicth for going there.he fake

7.. kNICKS DIDNT kill Stephon Marbury's career, he did it to himself. He was a selfish prick that wasn't interested in being a team player, fought with his coach, always put himself above the team. He was overrated anyway. Hardaway had a patella bone spur that he never wanted a surgeon to touch and played with pain. His choice. Steve Francis?? You are joking right? Eddie Curry??? Well documented heart condition. Make me laugh some more, he is 100 pound overweight in the off season, doesn't like conditioning work...how does he expect to do well let alone live a healthy life beyond BB?

goldeneagle i know you are joking. isiah killed his own rep and never had a coaching/executive career to begin with. he killed everything he touched. starbury was what he always was pre-MSG, francis was washed up when he got there, same with penny. penny was a shell of a player, eddy curry? maybe if he took the game seriously he would have success. it isn't MSG that is cursed, it is the people you mentioned that all sucked ass to begin with!

lets bring ron artest on the knicks, along with isiah thomas and stephon marbury!

lol honestly I don't think any of the free agents care what Ron Artest thinks. It's going to be all about the money and comfort, having a chance to win titles will be a distant 3rd for most (not saying it couldn't be a tiebreaker, but it's definitely not the most important factor for most of these 20 year olds).

Thank you for telling it like it is Ron. # 9, you sound like a bitter Laker hater lol.

Ron was just doing that team a fav, he and everyone else knows , No one wants to play on that team as it stands now.......but they could improve, i wouldn't blame the coaches either.

if not mistaken, I believe wade already said he would not play in NY...............And lebron said its about winning, I doubt he would want to go there....Bosh? what in the world is he going to do their? hes better off where he is now.

there*

I bet he doesnt run into the stands at the Palace any time soon!!!!!!

Funny pic of Dirk getting his face Distorted on front page of yahoo.....

Lebron and Wade wont go to NYK, Bosh, Joe Johnson and Amare are the Knicks best chances at landing a big name FA. To wade and bron its bout winning a championship and they dont have to prove they are one of the top 3 players in the NBA (LBJ, Kobe and Wade). Bosh may move because he'll get paid and will get more media attention in NY, JJ as we all know just wants to be the man in his team and get paid (JJ will never be in a championship team where he is the man), and Amare just might want a change of local if the suns flame out this season. Among the 3, Amare the least likely to move (coz of Nash) and Bosh is the most likely to move (lousy team and not a great place to get media attention).

Cavs fan here, listen up New York fans just keep dreaming of Lebron, that's all you can do, you won't get him there that's for sure!

LOL i cant wait to see all the HATE coming at LBJ when hes a KNICK next season its INEVITABLE!!! FACE IT!!

BUSTER said it all

@joecas and robert: isiah was a well-respected executive when he was with the raptors in the late '90s credited with drafting tracy mcgrady, damon stoudamire, and marcus camby. when he replaced larry bird as the head coach for the pacers in 2000, he was credited with rescuing jermaine o'neal's career and his subsequent development as a player.
you can make fun of his boneheaded moves all you want, but scott layden already put the knicks in a horrible position before isiah took over with allan houston, shandon anderson, howard eisley, clarence weatherspoon, etc. the ownership didn't want to rebuild from scratch, so all isiah could do was to trade bad contracts for bad contracts.
plus you can't argue with the fact that he found good value from his draft picks: david lee, wilson chandler, nate robinson, renaldo balkman, channing frye. lee was a huge steal at #30. chandler and balkman were unknowns before the draft and they are solid NBA players. nate robinson was a steal at #21 considering that julius hodge, rashad mccants, yaroslav korolev, fran vazquez, martell webster, gerald green, sean may, antoine wright, ike diogu, joey graham were all drafted ahead of him.
i don't think any of isiah's draft picks turned out to be bust.
