Nate and Lee for Rubio?

AUTHOR: Chase Thomas | IN: Draft Updates 2009 | COMMENTS: None Yet

The Rubio sweepstakes appear to still be in works, according to Marca.com
It appears as though the Knicks are still interested in acquiring Rubio and with Rubio skipping the press conference today with the Timberwolves it’s quite clear he’s either going back to Spain or being traded.
The recent rumor floating around is that the Knicks will offer Lee and Nate in a sign and trade deal. I really hate this deal if that means we don’t get a frontcourt player in return because Rubio is not worth giving up the face of your franchise over the last few years. And with [...]

Donnie Walsh is OVERRATED

AUTHOR: Chase Thomas | IN: Chase Thomas, Free Agency/Trades/Front Office | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Sigh.
It feels good to finally let that out if I do say so myself.
Walsh has one season left to build an attractive enough team to bring in the likes of LeBron, Bosh, Johnson, Wade, Amare, etc. He hasn’t proven that he is the guy we should have hired to deliver these guys to the fans. He has shown brilliance at times in unloading terrible contracts in Jerome James, but has also passed on incredible talent. Passing on Gordon for Galo was a mistake and it’s becoming more and more likely that it was a mistake. Then we have this season [...]

So to calm my frustrations I’ve turned to my favorite image in the world.

Who are the Knicks going to draft?

AUTHOR: Chase Thomas | IN: Draft Updates 2009 | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

And to start things off, sorry for my absence these last few weeks. I was hectic with work, school, and getting ready for college. Fun stuff like that.
Anywho, the Knicks have been in lots of talks as of late so if you don’t mind I’ll catch you up on some things.
The Knicks are very high on foreign post players this offseason as the Knicks are looking to acquire Darko Millic for Q-Rich and also looking at Martin Gortat.
I like the Gortat move because of how week our frontcourt is, but the Millic swap is virtually useless and really shows how [...]
