I never knew NBA plays 3 on 3 basketball. You have Oden and Aldridge starting at C and PF, and you have Prizbilla as your only backup C/PF. Unless you're implying that the Blazers wanted both Oden and Aldridge to play 40+ min a game, there is a need for a backup pf/c somewhere. Prizbilla also only averaged 1.6 bpg (his supposed purpose in the NBA) and under 4 rebounds in 43 games. They are counting on him as their only option?
Did you say McRoberts? Are you just pulling out random 2nd rounders that haven't proved a thing in the NBA and placing him over Frye? Quite objective analysis skills you're presenting here. It's funny that you mentioned hatred for players, because I'm beginning to think that theres something going on between you and Frye.

Just because there are rumors about a team wanting to unload a player doesn't mean that you can throw any player in there and say that he would've made a better deal for NY. I mean, why stop there, forget Balkman, why didn't NY get Randolph for Jerome James?

But it isn't working. His claim was as silly then as it is now. No matter how many times you shout, "Look!!! A pony!!!" no one's looking. Sorry.

Looks like somebody doesn't know what the hell he's typing. It's alright though, it didn't start here.

Of course, in Phoenix he fired up more shots, which inflated his numbers. But in New York he's shooting better and scoring more efficiently. Of course, he's also managed to play about 100 games in the last two seasons, so I'd say that the injuries just might have a little more to do with his hobbling around the court than Isiah, Stephon, and "the atmosphere in New York".

It's not really my point, but do provide some concrete proof about Richardson being a better player in NY than he was in Phoenix and LA. He's still shooting about the same FG% the past few seasons, about the same FT attempts, and pretty much the same stats across the board. Not to mention he is having a slow start this season. Anyway, this wasn't the point as I said that his injury has a lot to do with his dwindling career and there are plenty of examples around him. Just name one player that has gotten better (in a indisputable manner) since being traded or signed by the Knicks in the Isiah era. Pardon my knowledge of the Knicks, but Eddy Curry is probably the closest thing to what I'm looking for here and he's still far from being a player that you can win games with. I honestly don't know why you arguing with me about this point, if theres nothing wrong with the basketball environment of the current Knicks, then why are there so many people want their coach/GM fired and go into complete rebuild?
