i CAN'T BELIEVE that everyone is defending this knicks trade. Espn.com, the local news, and even PTI thinks this is a good move by thomas. Big does not mean good. "shaking the team up" doesn't really do anything if you are making your team worse. As a blurb in the espn.com article, they say one gm said "the knicks have completely given up their future, so i hope they are happy with the team they now have." that's really bad. hardaway will be making the MAX and coming off the bench (if he plays at all). lampe was the one good pick they've had in years. gone. that pg of the future? gone. and for what? are the knicks going to make a title run this year? no. as the experts agree, this trade was made b/c the knicks aren't even selling out. and making the playoffs (as an eight seed) will "put them back on the map"

and so it goes.
