I thought your claim was that his views on players are tilted because of his hatred towards certain players. I honestly don't see where you proved that, but as long as you think so, that's good enough for our purpose.

See above.
And frankly, some of those posts you listed aren't even that ridiculous. Take the Fyre/Rose for Jones/Thomas swap picks for example, it turned out that the Knicks did find better value in Fyre by getting Randolph and unloading Francis at the same time. I don't see where the ridicule is located in this one, perhaps you can point it out more clearly.
Also the players on the Knicks roster often under-perform because of the various problems associated with the team. If Josh Smith and Childress were on the Knicks the past few seasons, god knows what kind of players they would become. The same thing can be said about Channing Fyre and Quentin Richardson. In Richardson's case, he was so effective in Phoenix and LA, and his career plummeted after he came to NY. Injuries had a lot to do with it, but the distractions and team atmosphere in NY aren't necessarily helping either. I am not saying that Josh Smith and Josh Childress won't thrive in NY, but if I'm betting on a new team that those 2 would succeed in, NY would probably be my last or 2nd to last choice.
