just something to breathe life into this dead blog: if you are ramon sessions reading this, please join the new york knicks. even for less money than you want, and yes, even for a single year. why? because you'll kick major ass with starter minutes in ny and that will certainly pave the way for a better payday for you. :D just saying/blogging...

i've been hearing this for the last couple of months and i can say that i'm sick of it. so, why post this here? well, it looks like finally, the knicks could get rid of stephon. i'm not hating on stephon. i like his game. but i'm with q that you don't leave your guys on the court just because you have a beef with your boss. any person who has fought in wars would probably not leave his or her companions in the heat of the battle even if he has a major spat with his commanding officer. i remember achilles "sitting out" some of the "games" against the trojans because of his quarrel with that agamemnon dude. but stephon, you're no achilles. well, you could be, achilles after being brought down by an arrow to the heel that is. anyway, frank isola of knicks knation says that marbury could be gone after today (february 24). if this happens, the knicks would have three available roster spots right? and it looks like they might take a chance...

thanks to dr. carlan yates' lack of confidence in his work, tyson chandler is back in the big easy. yay! dr. yates performed the surgery on tyson chandler's big left toe last april 2007. and when the trade was made, yates, the thunder's team physician decided that the risk of re-injuring the toe is great and so advised the team to rescind the trade. i guess chris wilcox was devastated that he will not be playing alongside chris paul and david west. wilcox is now on his way to join the knicks after the thunder traded him for malik rose.

the knicks are so dramatic. they pulled the trigger on two trades already this day, the trade deadline. after receiving larry hughes from the bulls, they will now add chris wilcox to their roster after trading malik rose for him. chris wilcox would surely have loved to play with cp3...but after the thunder rescinded the tyson chandler trade, i think new york and its run and gun style would have to do for him. mabe he could be a david lee lite kinda guy.

trade deadline... the bulls are busy. they recently traded larry hughes to the knicks for jerome james, tim thomas, and anthony roberson. the only thing that's interesting in this trade has been beaten to death already: tim thomas was banished by the bulls in 2006. finally, jerome james is no longer with the knicks. maybe the knicks can now sign patrick ewing jr. to a contract now that they have some free roster spot. please donnie, make it happen.

...i don't mean anyone on the grizzlies squad like rudy gay or oj mayo but the whole effin' team! well, except marko jaric, darko milicic, and darius miles. i was just toying around with the trade machine and tried to come up with a good trade scenario for stephon marbury . so here it is: the new york knicks trade stehon marbury to the memphis grizzlies for ::takes a deep breath:: darrell arthur, mike conley, marc gasol, rudy gay, hamed haddadi, kyle lowry, oj mayo, quinton ross, hakim warrick, and greg buckner. with this trade, i think stephon could beat that 81 point-game posted by kobe. lol. hey donnie, make this happen already! :D

i know i'm an idiot for even suggesting this trade but here it goes: the new york knicks trade al harrington, jerome james, and david lee to the phoenix suns for amare stoudemire. the trade machine said the deal's okay but in reality, this would never happen for the following reasons: 1. amare is great but he's not lebron. remember, the knicks are aiming to secure james' services come the summer of 2010. that's the reason why they traded away jamal crawford and zach randolph earlier this season. amare still has three years in his contract and i don't know if the knicks can have both lebron and amare come 2010. 2. phoenix is not keen on dealing with the knicks. when mike d'antoni left the suns last season, it closed the door on the knicks having a shot on the amare sweepstakes. why? because the suns owner is that vindictive. :D 3. david lee will be asking for a lot of money. lee is having a breakout season and is on the last year of his contract. w...

this space in teh internetz has been forsaken as of late due to the author's busy schedule or laziness (i'm betting on the latter). before this space lose its page rank, i decided it's time once again to update it and start with ewing going back to the new york knicks. patrick ewing, (the junior version that is) has been shipped by the houston rockets to the knicks in exchange for the rights to frederic weis. weis if you remember is the french 7-footer drafted in 1999 but never played in the nba. and oh yeah, he was on the receiving end of vince carter's dunk of death . ewing was drafted this year by the sacramento kings in the second round and was shipped to the rockets in the ron artest trade earlier. now this gets a little interesting as frederic weis was picked 15th overall by the knicks in 1999 even though ron artest was still available. sure, only a handful of people back then had an idea that artest would be one of the best lockdown defenders in the nba but ...

fans of the new york knickerbockers (including me) have been waiting for this all season long: isiah thomas has been fired from his coaching position. after two seasons with thomas leading the knicks from the bench, the team has become the most dysfunctional team in the nba if not pro sport in general. as a knick fan, i have followed the team's progress or lack of it this season and i honestly think that isiah thomas remaining as the coach for next season is impossible. early in the season, i was kinda excited because i thought that zach randolph will be a good addition to the knicks. well, his performance is not as dismal as that of curry or of starbury but it is not exactly enough to make the knicks a contender in the east. as the season drags on, it became clear that the team has a lot of problem to deal with. donnie walsh, the new team president saw it fit that firing thomas will be the first of the many steps that needs to be taken to heal the ballclub. next i think would...

the recently concluded game between the portland trailblazers and the new york knicks marked the first time that zach randolph has faced his former team. and likewise, it was also channing frye 's first game against the knicks. randolph of course is expected to produce better numbers than frye. in fact, the knicks forward posted a double-double game with 25 points and 13 rebounds. on the other hand, channing frye only chipped in 2 points and 4 rebounds for the blazers. but in the end, the blazers prevailed in a come from behind fashion. this shows just how bad things are going for the new york knicks. it's really bothering me as i am a fan of the team. wish they'd get better after the all-star break. :(

everyone has been taking notice of the new orleans hornets since they are on a nine game winning streak. but that was before they faced the warriors. led by stephen jackson and former hornets superstar baron davis, the warriors snapped the hornets' nine game winning streak. as usual, b-diddy had a line of 23 points, nine assists and three rebounds. on the other hand, cp3 has 28 points, a dozen assists and a couple of rebounds. exciting game before the warriors break away during the latter part of the last quarter. yesterday, i forgot, kobe and the lakers won. well, against the new york knicks. i am a big fan of the knicks and i hate seeing them like this. well, at the said game, kb24 almost reached triple-double. the game also featured the elbow given by renaldo balkman to vujacic. it's accidental though according to isiah thomas. there was no foul called after vujacic took that elbow. but the powers that be in nba reviewed the play and decided that it was a flagr...
