As far as Jennings.. whatever. He was talking to Joe who is his boy. Joe is a Knicks fan. So when he said 'y'all, he meant Joe. Let the kid live. Butreally though, not a good start to his career.

I already accepted Lee not being here a long time ago, so I'm over it. We shouldn't try to pay him what he wants, we just drafted Hill, it's timeto part ways, thanks for playing hard and always giving it your best, good luck.
I'd pull the trigger on the T-Mac/Curry deal in a heartbeat.

Just passing some info i got from my boy that works for ESPN, don't get all excited cuz its not finalized yet.
GSW will trade Stephen Curry
Knicks will trade Lee, Nate, and a 2010 pick
He also said this:
Rockets get Curry, Mobley's contract
Knicks get TMac

good one, we dont have a 2010 pick.
And if we EVER did give all that up for a player it better at least be Rubio. If we gave up all that for Curry.
I like him and all, but cmon dude is a 6'2 180 lb SG he is NOT even close to being worth all that

Lee could be gone....
One of the many reasons, I don't understand the Knicks plan.
Who would Bosh, Wade or Lebron play with? Eddy Curry, Jared Jeffries and Daniel Galinari?
If this happens, maybe the mass media can stop with the completely unfounded "Donnie Walsh is a genius" nonsense...
Walsh could have used David Lee or Nate Robinson as a carrot at the trade deadline in February to rid himself of the contracts of Eddy Curry, Jared Jeffries,or both. It's well documented that Sacramento would have sent Kenny Thomas, an expiring contract in 2010, to New York for Robinson and Jeffries. He sure ashell could have found takers for Lee.
At the very least, he should have traded them at the trade deadline for a future first-round pick.
As it is, if he lets them both get away for nothing - an imminently plausible scenario - then Walsh should just get crucified for terrible, terriblemismanagement of two excellent assets. Of course, seeing as he's affiliated with the Knicks, that ain't gonna happen.

and if we do lose Lee or Nate or both it almost certainly wont be for nothing. It will most likely be a sign or trade so we can get some value back and nothave it effect our 2010 cap room.
And its better to try this plan and fail cause if we dont get under cap at all than we have no shot and getting Lebron or them. Even if we dont get Lebronrebuilding teams NEED to get under cap to get someone and rebuild. So even if we have to give up Lee or Nate it will hurt, but Lee an Nate or not achampionship core and through Donnie's plan i can GUARENTEE you that we will exit 2010 WAY better than we entered. Lebron would be the best possible thingto happen and we will go after him hard, but Donnie knows there are no guarentess, If he didnt know #!$! like that he wouldnt have lasted in the league forthis long. My dude Donnie has backup plans.

God damn that's a hell of a lot to be giving up for a rookie player. A small fry type dude who only really got a jumper at that. I don't agree withthis decision at all if it goes through. Shoulda done all that for Rubio when they had the chance.

The Mcgrady trade is completely fine, we don't need curry and I think mobleys contract expire this upcoming season. Even tho Mcgrady would miss about 2-3months, I think I rather him than Iverson.
& the StephCurry trade is terrible....Terrible. I rather trade Lee to Portland for Outlaw & a PG

He'd only miss the first month of the season from what I read.
I know the Knicks are fast-forwarding their franchise to 2010 but in the meantime you still need a reason to put fans in seats and Nate Robinsonand David Lee were the only two Knicks (along with Wilson Chandler) that were doing anything worth-watching. Everyone knows Nate is a fan-favorite, imaginegetting Kenny Thomas in return, you think fans would be excited for that? Hell no! I know we should have some dividends but Lee & Nate won us some gameslast year (see Knicks v. Lakers) and that's something Kenny Thomas sure as hell wasn't going to do. Either way, they were both going to be off the capby 2010.
As for getting a 2010 pick, I don't really follow college basketball but I've heard its supposed to be a good draft class but that's our summer of free-agency. The Knicks will be looking to acquire free-agents rather than draft someone critical forthe franchise. Hypothetically if we land LeBron & Bosh (or Wade), you have your SF and C/SG for the next 6 years. If Jordan Hill pans out, you have a PF,if Chandler & Gallo pan out, you have two solid players there. We have a lot of pieces that LeBron can play with. I mean look, if comes to NY, we have alot more appeal & flexibility than Cleveland has shown him in all his years there.

[h1]MARBURY: STARS SHOULDN'T SIGN WITH KNICKS[/h1][h2]CAN'T WIN TITLES IN D'ANTONI'S SYSTEM[/h2]
[h3]By MARC BERMAN[/h3]Stephon Marbury, who becomes a free agent again today, believes star players should be cautious about signing with the Knicks because ofMike D'Antoni's offensive scheme and the way the organization treats people.
"I wouldn't want to play in that system,'' Marbury told The Post. "That system can't win championships. You can't winchampionships if you don't talk about defense. In Boston, the coaches even play defense.''
Marbury said he believes being exiled for four months "mentally damaged'' him and effected his Boston performance.
"I knew it wasn't about money,'' Marbury said of his exile.
"They spent 3 million on a 29th pick. They could've given $3 million to Anucha (Browne-Sanders). I knew it was personal. It's about ego andpower. I've never been so happy to be out of someplace. The way I was treated, lied to, grown men doing this that have stature.''
"When Larry Brown saw me in Charlotte when we played them, he said, 'It looks like you died andwent to heaven,''' Marbury added. "I told him, now I know what you went through.'' (
)
Marbury, who still doesn't have an agent, hopes to re-sign with Boston, though he's talked to his former coach, Washington's Flip Saunders.Marbury also did not rule out Europe.
"They get first dibs,'' Marbury said of the Celtics. "They did something for me, showed the NBA they won a championship and still broughtsomeone in who was supposed to destructive to the locker room.''
After his Knick buyout negotiations that dragged nearly four months, Marbury joined Boston in late February and never once got on the court together withhis former mate, Kevin Garnett, who missed the playoffs. The Celtics were eliminated in seven games by Orlando in the second round.
"With Kevin coming back, the chances are the same,'' Marbury said. "If Kevin would've been there, the outcome would've beendifferent. Not taking anything away from the Lakers. They're a great team as well.''
The Celtics coaches loved Marbury's work on defense but never played free on offense. Marbury said his rust was too much to overcome physically and henever could find his swagger.
"Mentally, what I had to deal with, the process with D'Antoni, the president (http://www.nypost.com/topics/topic.php?t=Donnie_WalshDonnie Walsh), it was mindboggling,'' Marbury said. "Two people can't make a decision and they have to go above them toMr. Dolan.
Mentally I was damaged and didn't even realize it.
"Going back next year, I'll be free. When you're weathering the storm, you're not thinking how bad the storm is. You're just holdingon, trying to get through the finish.''

I don't blame him for the sole purpose that I'm sure he didn't bring it up, but they asked him the question. The situation was handled wrong butthe past is the past, Donnie Walsh knows the entire situation was went about incorrectly. He's classier than that, I don't expect to see something likethat happen again.

Steph is right about D'Antoni's system. It brought the Suns 58 wins a season, tons of points/highlights, two Western Conference Finals appearances, andmade a few role players rich, but no rings. In June. Ah well...

I think Lee is a smart man, he should stay in NY. I mean, how much more does he hope to get per year? The Knicks should really lock him down for his career(yes, I'm that adamant about David Lee). Let's say we do land our pick of the crop FAs in 2010, Lee will still shine as a workhorse and continuedeveloping his game.
