Lamar odom is not the kind of person who solves all of a teams problems. he does not have the dedication or the basketball I.Q. to be part of a good team. sure he can be phenomenal every so often, especially when he is the only person with more than 4 years experience and a decent game on the court. he was exactly that with KB24 out, but he cant produce like he did consitently.
The knicks sould not continue to look for one person to solve all their problems. the perpetual change is one of the things creating most of those problems. the knicks should stick it out, and try to make a trade in the off season, to just unload a lot of guys.

I am not one to start spouting trades but do you think that LA would still do Frye + Francis/Marbury for Odom because that would solve almost all of our problems.

And yes, Thomas quotes, in and of themselves, I am sick of.

I thought the Knicks were trying to get the Lakers to package Bynum WITH Odom for Frye, with the Lakers fully willing to do Odom for Frye, but not willing at all to part with Bynum.

Does anyone remember last season when it was rumored that the Lakers had offered Andrew Bynum straight up for Frye? At the time, it sounded ridiculous. However, Bynum has been great all season and had a 20/10 last night against Minnesota. Meanwhile, Channing Frye has been playing like Carol Channing.

Isiah quote

“I’m a fighter myself and I want people who are going to fight and compete,” Thomas said after Monday’s loss. “And if you’re not going to fight and compete, then I’m the president and we can give you a pink slip, too.”

Am I the only one sick of hearing him talk about how he’s a fighter?

Here’s a weird thought – might the Knicks just be better off going back to their 2004-05 offense?

I mean, their offense wasn’t that bad that year, and they’ve added a lot better offensive players since then, right?

So why not just let Marbury be “Starbury.” Until Curry and Frye get better, Marbury is still the team’s best player, so why NOT give it a shot with Marbury doing his “bring the ball up court and then decide what I want to do with it.”

This will feature the return of the pick and roll with Frye.

There may be a regression with Curry, but that should be addressed by Curry ASKING for the freakin’ ball – if he actually fought for position, you can be sure Marbury WOULD find him.

Ammad, yes it would be nice if Curry got 15 shots or more per night but its not like a deli where you can take a number and order shots. Curry stands in the post, he almost never fights for position and calls for the ball. Watch Curry, I did for the third quarter against SAS and he’s only kinda looking for the ball.

His lack of aggression on the defensive end is matched by his assertiveness on offense. The question for Curry isn’t what he will do with 15 to 20 shots per night, but will he work to get 15 to 20 shots per night.
