Speaking of crazy – okay, I won’t even go there – individuals, Ron Artest is gonna be traded somewhere .Might be New York. They don’t deserve him, unless he plans on fighting the entire crowd there (which may be the best thing that ever happens in sports. Really, I would pay 1000 dollars to see this. Just as long as he doesn’t touch Woody or Spike, they’re hardcore fans and natives. If he goes for all the fake business people there, I think I’ll like him a lot more, really.) They shouldn’t be able to trade for him, but they can because they’re New York and they have stuff handed to them sometimes. And that leads me to my weekly Knicks rant.
[ By the way, I don’t know if playing for Larry Brown will help him. Larry is pretty demanding and routinely breaks down sane people. Larry can live with AI because AI plays hard. AI is not crazy. Ron Artest might legitimately be crazy. He’s not even being brash about this, which is surprising. This is actually the most self-deprecating trade demand I ever heard. Maybe he’s just trying too hard to get sympathy, but I almost feel bad for the guy. He needs some uppers or something. I wouldn’t know what to do with him. ]
So...... 122 points to the Hawks? The Hawks have just one less win than the Knicks now... and they still suck horribly. Good job.By the way, the Ron Artest rumors should only stand to be an example of why Isiah sucks so much. Why? Many great players have expressed an interest in playing for the Knicks. A lot of them are native New Yorkers or just like the bright lights. Artest is just the latest in a long line of people who tossed the idea around. And yet... this is the roster that he came up with???? Pretty shabby. Look at the people he brought in - nowhere near the people who were rumored to go there. It's what I hate about the Knicks- no matter how much they suck, they're always close to being good again (much like the Yankees) because they have the glitz and the appeal (not to mention money, going well over the cap when they can). And you KNOW that David Stern wants desperately for them to be relevant again. So Isiah has all that going for him, and he still screws it up!!! Seriosuly, what else does the guy need? Another frozen envelope? Is that Greg Oden guy going to NY once he gets eligible? You want to see a real G.M., look at Geoff Petrie, who made a winner in Sacramento of all places, or the late great Frank Layden, who got good people to come to friggin' Utah (no offense Brock). Surely the Knicks thought they had the heir to those smarts in Isiah's predecessor, Scott Layden, but he makes Isiah look competent by comparison. Someday soon, Stern is going to have Isiah secretly killed and replaced by an android that computes stats at a million times per second. Of course, a narrow-minded love of numbers is probably what made them get all these guys (that don't play well together but have good offensive stats anyway) in the first place. Alas.
I don't know if Channing Frye is worth it, but I do know this: whichever way Isiah goes, he'll screw it up.
