| They just traded Penny Hardaway and Trevor Ariza for Steve Francis. Oh joy...
So the roster now looks like this:
PGs:
Stephon Marbury - shoot-first point guard who doesnt make his teammates better
Steve Francis - shoot-first point guard who doesnt make his teammates better. And he's an emotional pouter.
Nate Robinson - a 5'9 (if that) rookie
SG/SF:
Jalen Rose - a total headcase. Very talented (like Marbury, Crawford, and Francis) but doesnt really know teamwork at all.
Jamal Crawford - a shoot-first guard who has never played a lick of defense in his life, and rarely passes the ball once it's in his hands.
Quentin Richardson - all he knows how to do is shoot 3's, and he doesnt even do that very well any more
Qyntel Woods - he was a member of the Trail (Jail) Blazers. That's all you have to know.
PF:
Channing Frye - The lone bright spot on the team. The one player in recent Knicks history that fans have been excited about
David Lee - looked good at times, but he's still just a rookie. And he's white.
Maurice Taylor - Yeah...he's not really all that good...
Malike Rose - pretty tough guy and solid defender, but getting old and lacks offensive skills
C:
Eddy Curry - not bad, but a little overweight, and has a heart condition which could end his career at any time
Jerome James - the absolute worst signing of the Isiah era. He translated 5 good games in the playoffs last year to like a $60 million contract. Ugh.
So basically, the Knicks have one legitimate starter (Curry), a rookie with a ton of potential (Frye), a decent back-up point guard (Robinson), and a rookie who could be a solid 7th, 8th, or 9th man in the rotation (Lee).
I fucking hate Isiah Thomas... |
