Hey, it's not your money!

It is getting really bad listening to the paid shills passing themselves off as objective and knowledgeable journalists and sports talk personalities in New york City.

If only one of them had the balls to state the truth I think I'd run through the streets naked.

How they can argue that giving Jeremy Lin 30 million dollars to be an apprentice of Jason Kidd would be comical if it weren't so tragic but what else can you expect from Knicks fans.

The Knicks fan is so used to mediocrity, lies and losing that jewelry made from pyrite and cubic zirconians is held up with the same pride as a real championship ring and is why the Knicks fan can hang their hopes on the potential of flash in the pan feel good stories and geriatric stars.

How the NYC media can get away with saying that we shouldn't worry about Jim Dolan's money because it's not ours and then argue for Lin not because he is good but because he is a revenue stream. So now it's OK to worry about Jim Dolan's money when it comes to Lin's ability to make it?!? WTF?!?

The best play for the Knicks to improve as a "team" was letting Lin go and having Felton, a guard proven over seasons and not punked into forgetting how to dribble, get schooled by Kidd. But no, we have to get Dolan his bread at the cost of being a better team.

I am so delighted that I am not a Knicks fan anymore. I'd really be upset with the team if I were and not just with the hypocrites covering them.

 

Everybody wins

The new GM Grunwald selected some Greek kid in this year's NBA draft who may not ever play in the NBA. If he does, at the very earliest he won't be seen in a Knicks uniform until 2014.

Great move Mr. Grunwald, I think I now see the spark of genius that inspired Jim Dolan to hire you.

Scott Machado was available when the 48th pick came around but why would the Knicks draft a young point guard when Steve Austin's doctor is done putting Baron Davis' knee back together. He'll be good as new.

But, just in case he isn't wouldn't you like to see Raymond Felton return to the Knicks? I know I would.

I think a motivated Felton would show up in tremendous shape with a chip on his shoulder motivated to play in the last NBA home gym that he had great success.

Now I know what you're thinking: 'D'Antoni is no longer here and Raymond may not fit in Mike Woodson's slowdown and pass it to Carmelo offense'. Well, don't be concerned and I'll tell you why he'd be successful again.

Raymond is going to back up Lin which means he'll be playing his minutes with the second unit. We know that Woodson is going to talk Amare' into coming off the bench because he and Carmelo play basically the same position and cannot play at the same time.

Amare' knows that with Raymond on the floor with him again he'll be able to run the pick and roll the two of them worked so lovely before Anthony got here and they will run it whether Woodson calls it or not.

Novak will also benefit on that second unit because when Raymond's defender comes over the top of the pick Felton will dribble on a line towards the basket forcing Novak's man to come down and help leaving him wide open for his three ball. Everybody wins.

The critics will say that Felton never played well when he wasn't running the D'Antoni system but the exact same thing can be said for Jeremy Lin. Felton has never "had trouble dribbling" when he was pressured and could always go left as well as he went right. The same can't be said for Lin. I like Lin but take the D'Antoni system away Felton is a better point guard right now than Jeremy.

Let's be honest, are you more concerned about a point guard getting in shape or a point guard coming off knee surgery?

I wouldn't mind seeing a second unit consisting of Felton, Fields, Novak, Harrelson and Amare'.

If we see Raymond Felton return to MSG look for a happy and inspired Amare' Stoudemire and the Knicks to win the Eastern conference.

Phil might have said yes

Jim Dolan was never going to ask Phil Jackson if he wanted to coach the Knicks because Phil might have said yes.

Dolan wants yes men. He wants to wield his absolute power over the team and input where he sees fit without having to consult the coach or GM. Take the signing of JR Smith for example.

Jim Dolan is not at all concerned about winning championships. As long as Woodson leads the Knicks to around 50 wins, get the sixth seed  or better to almost lock a second round appearance and the winning puts asses in the seats Dolan will be happier than a pig in shit.

What is Mike Woodson's m.o.? He's a lock in a full season for 50 some odd wins and second round defeats in the playoffs. He is a good boy who respects his boss and will do what he's told. He's the perfect coach for Dolan and Phil Jackson is not.

Phil was never going to get that call Knicks fans so move on with your lives. You will never see a championship trophy as long as Dolan is the owner, just accept it.
