That's just the way it is

Let's see, so the Knicks trade Steve Novak, Quentin Richardson, Marcus Camby and a draft pick for Andrea Bargnani and he isn't even on the floor in the last seconds as a decoy? And of course down by a point the ball goes to Anthony with mere seconds left and he missed the shot.

James Dolan is Jerry Jones and Carmelo Anthony is Tony Romo. That's just the way it is.

Knicks lose again, Chicago Bulls 82 - New York Knicks 81.

With or without Carmelo Anthony

It is no surprise that it is being reported today that Carmelo Anthony has admitted publicly that he is going to opt out at the end of the season. As if I never told you guys this. It makes perfect sense for him to do so because the Knicks can offer him the most money and he can also sign with a team that has the potential to win a championship if  he can negotiate a contract he is comfortable with.

That's all great for Anthony but how does that play out for the Knicks?

Re-signing Carmelo Anthony leaves very little room for the Knicks to sign any type of players that can help the Knicks get past the Bulls, the Nets and the Heat. Remember, the Knicks don't even have a handful of draft picks left after trading for Anthony and Andrea Bargnani.

The only chance for the Knicks to be competitive in the near term is either by trading Anthony now for a crap load of draft picks or allowing Anthony to walk after he opts out and using their cap space to go after a Bosh like free agent and several good grade B players that can form a good team.

However, letting Anthony walk would mean that the Knicks gave up half the team and a bunch of draft picks just to rent Anthony for a couple of seasons with nothing to show for it and I don't think James Dolan has the balls to admit that he made such a colossal mistake. He has no choice but to re-sign Anthony.

Knicks fans, if you didn't run your mouths so f'ing much I'd actually feel sorry for you because your team isn't going to sniff a championship for the foreseeable future, with or without Carmelo.

I am so delighted JR Smith is a Knick

When I checked the stats of this blog I notice a very sharp spike in hits. I guess people were expecting me to go in on JR Smith because he was caught with weed in his system and suspended for five games by the NBA.

I actually think its great. Five games in which he isn't helping his team to win could be the difference at the end of the season for my team, the Brooklyn Nets, to actually win the division and get home court advantage.

So no, I will not curse out JR Smith for being irresponsible. He is an adult and the Knicks problem now and not mine as a fan of the Nets.

I won't curse James Dolan for circumventing his basketball executives and signing Smith initially unbeknownst to them, he has every right to screw the team he owns.

I refuse to yell at JR's surrogate daddy Mike Woodson for not giving him enough tough love, I frankly don't give a damn.

I am delighted JR Smith is a Knick and I hope that he remains one for his entire professional career because I know that his behavior will always spot my team at least five games in the standings. Thanks JR and I know where you can get that fire Diesel when you need to re-up, Holla at your boy.
