But i think Mo williams is a great fit and they have a ton of cap space after thisyear so they will be going after the big names again.
Unfortunately Larry Hughes was a bust the last time

damn, i only knew you from the boxing thread... its hard to be motivated in NBA being a knicks fan these days nah mean ? im just glad i grew up in the Jordan era, unfortunate for all who missed that.

yo nicky the thing i always thought about was that milicic never played and they basically had wallace wallace hamilton billups n prince, but wut if they got mello, wade, or bosh, those guys came in and started right away, would they have started in detroit, do u think that if melo was their instead of prince that the chemistry would be different. I dont think that if wade and melo came in and were benched that theyd be happy, maybe wade wouldnt mind that much as he's a team oriented player, bosh as we all know is unselfish already and wouldn't mind, i still think about it to this day but it doesnt affect me as much anymore. your thoughts?

I agree. When the Cavs sucked, I still watched them, but your never quite into it when your teams not good. I used to love the old Knicks teams with Ewing, Starks, Mason and Oakley. Oakley was the man. But I HATED Jordan when he played...i mean i respected him, but i hated him cuz the Cavs had good teams in the early 90's and late 80's but he always beat us. he did that to everyone tho.....but yea, even tho i hated him, i always watched Jordan. He was unbelievable....you KNEW the Bulls were winning. It was that simple.

I think Prince would have been benched eventually or traded...but that being said Wade or Melo probably would have came off the bench if they were forced to and said nothing, especially if Detroit was dominated everyone and winning championships.

But Melo and Wade are just too good to be sitting behind Prince.

Yo can some1 tell me if Lakers traded any1 to this moment, or released or hired??!!!

NickyTooch i agree with you about Carlos Boozer. He's a greedy dude and he should've stayed with Cleveland because he was already making a lot of money before he left. LOL@you said Milwaukee is gonna be a better team next season hahahahahahahahahahaha. Just because they got Richard Jefferson doesn't mean they're gonna be good. They got rid of Desmond Mason and Maurice Williams who were good scorers. Michael Redd isn't gonna have much offensive help besides Richard.

ya i agree they're better players its obvious, and with them detroit woulda had that go to guy, but iuno to me prince right now is like detroits best player, hes developed, they should get that other guy with him, wade and prince woulda been dope i think if they had both of them i think they woulda traded either chauncey or rip, probably rip, the line up woulda been like this barring the ben wallace ditching of the team
big ben
sheed
prince
wade
billups
that woulda been at least 1 more championship in the last 5 years

The Lakers recently picked up Sun Yue, an explosive guard from China:

So the Knicks picked up Patrick Ewing Jr? That should be interesting.

They just got him for his name...I doubt he's gonna make the roster and if he does it'll be as a 12 man on the bench... His skill set just isn't good enough for the NBA.

Yeah, but this is the Knicks we are talking about, they don't have much skill. lol
