Latest rumors cut reality check

As a fan of basketball, I must admit I have fell in love with the group of players Donnie Walsh has put together this season. Its not so much the talent as much as it is the attitude on the floor. Every single player aside from Curry, Randolph, and through no fault of his own Azubuike, "gets it". Its a term we basketball junkies use often and there really isn't another way to explain it. With the Knicks talent level it takes a certain level of concentration to win even though they sincerely do "get it". They have proven they can compete and often beat any team on any given night no matter the environment. You get a feel that these guys will put it on the line for each other. Under normal circumstances, this team only really needs a legitimate big man and an upgrade to the backcourt.

Lets face it...This Carmelo Anthony situation has been a cancer for this team since the new year came around. Knick fans have dealt with cancers within the organization for the last decade. Its a shame how all the drama this year is taking place because a Star player miles away doesn't want to resign with his ball club. We haven't had a break since Ewing got traded, can't expect things to change now. I feel bad for the current players. I also feel bad for the young fans that thought they were finally gonna have a real basketball team to latch on to this year.

Stoudamire's 5 year contact is the window the have to work with as far as getting as much talent and chemistry here to compete for a championship. What is the big picture? Are the Knicks a franchise trying get the most value out of their trades right now? Are they trying to fleece the league the way Denver is trying to do right now? Right now the Knicks are trying to seize an opportunity. Boston is making a last stand and Miami and Orlando also seemed to have made their end game moves in the quest for an NBA championship. Its Kinda now or never like Bon Jovi out this mofo. Knicks might want to take this Carmelo deal anyway they can get it and then set the focus on resolidifying the chemistry built so far.

Btw, extend Donnie Walsh you douches!
