I almost fainted on the subway

In today's New York Daily News, our favorite Knicks beat writer Mike Isola wrote a surprisingly interesting article.

Mike wrote about the topic that I have been making an argument for almost a year now which is the Knicks would be better off allowing Carmelo Anthony to leave.

 I couldn't believe it. I almost fainted on the subway.

Isola made some very familiar points about how it would be in both parties best interest to shake hands and part ways.

Isola unfortunately did not go far enough in his argument.

It is not enough to start over. If James Dolan does manage to have the balls to let Anthony leave and face rebuilding does he also have the courage to fire all the nice sycophants in management and turn over all basketball operations to a basketball mastermind?

That management turn over must also include "reassigning" likeable folk like Allen Houston, John Starks and Larry Johnson to basketball ambassador roles having nothing to do with the running of the team, free agent negotiation or talent evaluation. Those nice guys must go too.

The entire Knicks organization must be blown up from the management offices to the locker room for the light at the end of the tunnel to final turn into hope for the fans instead of the speeding train they have been hit with for the past 14 years.

What had happened?

Don't tell me these bastards lost again?

I saw the Knicks score just before turning on my Nets and they had like a 15 point lead. What had happened?

These Knicks fans on the radio sound like they need the toll free number to the suicide hotline.

I want to say that I really feel sorry for you guys...but I can't. LOL I'm fuckin' lovin' this. I can't wait to watch this tomorrow morning while I'm on my exercise bike.

Knicks Lose Again, Pistons  96 - Knicks 85

Anthony and all

I had to wait almost 24 hours before logging today's post.

I was actually sitting on the john this morning thinking about a very realistic lineup the Knicks could have right now had it not been for the meddling of James Dolan.

Brandon Jennings at the point, Wilson Chandler at the two, Gallinari at the three, David Lee at the four and Jordan Hill and Mosgov sharing the center position. That team would wax the hell out of the current Knicks Anthony and all.

That team would also be clearly the third best team in the East and well over .500.

What a freaking disgrace this franchise has become.

Now the talk is who might replace Mike Woodson and will Carmelo Anthony stay.

If Anthony decided to stay for the extra 30 million he could get paid, after taxes and agent fees that 30 million will actually be around 10 million dollars.

Anthony has to ask himself right now if playing for a team that has a genuine chance of winning a championship is worth 10 million to him in real dollars. Ask Patrick or Charles Barkley if they'd give up that much for a ring.

As for Mike Woodson, let's face it, it doesn't matter who the next coach is. If Dolan isn't going to shut up and get out of the way of a real GM and coach then his meddling will just crush whatever any new coach attempts to do to turn this garbage barge around.

The ultimate problem with this team is ownership and sycophants.

I am waiting for reports of a fist fight in that locker room to top this season off right.

Knicks lose again, Bulls 109 - Knicks 90
