To be honest, I don't hold the knicks, or lakers, or celtics in content as I do with...let's say the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Redskins(although it never ever works for them), or Cowboys. I think the NBA sees a lot more trading, and a lot more stupid trading. The lakers got away with murder on the Gasol deal, but so many other teams had the opportunity to make a crazy deal like that. The knicks can buy buy buy but they haven't mattered since Spree and Camby days. They keep taking on bad contracts, and bad chemistry players, it was inevitable that they would be stuck for awhile. They just have to learn from their mistakes.
