Now Thomas and Marbury find themselves swallowing large doses of humiliation after a seven-week tailspin in which the Knicks have gone 5-19 in 2005, changed coaches from Lenny Wilkens to Herb Williams and arrived at the All-Star break at 21-32, four games behind last season's pace and six games behind first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division.

"We have been playing well for so long, for five or six games, and we've been coming up on the short end of the stick," Williams said. "But guys stuck with it and believed in it. Hopefully, it will carry over to the second half of the season."

The search for a permanent coach won't get serious until the summer, but the more Mike Fratello succeeds with Memphis, the more it appears Thomas blew it when he hired Wilkens last year. It raises the question of whether Thomas wants a strong coach or a seat-warmer to do his bidding.

A nice pick and trading some of the expiring for a handfull of players will make this a dangerous team.

no it wont guys u get for expiring contracts are usually overpaid players who are headaches and cancers that the team therye on wants to get rid of them for nothing except salary space i.e. marbury and crawford.

So basically knicks will be full of overpaid talented losing players..

yeah, thats what were looking at. overpaid talented losing players. but with one more star that we could land with our lottery pick plus tim thomas' expiring contract could be great.......

even though its overpaid talented losers, i dont care. all i know is that the pistons won the championship with a bunch of losing players.

Billups- journeyman who played on a bunch of crappy boston, toronto, denver teams, finally won a few games with the twolves but never passed the first round. won finals mvp
Hamilton- washington wizards.....
rasheed wallace- the biggest headache and cancer right?
big ben- another journey man type guy, undrafted.

ill try it out........
