With the 8th Pick in the 2005 NBA draft you needed a guard that could replace Marbury, sure enough Raymond Felton of USC fits the bill right?

Yes he does but instead, you draft Channing Fyre some hyped up center the College analysts didn't even talk about, not even Dick Vitale who is so crazy about it I practically turn off sports center when he talks.

True the Knicks did get Nate Robinson from the Suns, but what if he wasn't there when the Suns came up?

What if, it was possible, that say Boston Selected Nate Robinson instead of Gerald Green?

Would you still have a 'improved' squad if Phoenix sent Gerald or some other prospect for Kurt Thomas, who was doing far better then Marbury's turnover-prone behind that year?

I highly doubt it, as the point of acquring Quentin Richardson is to get a two guard, you don't need the position jogged up.

But the problem with it is is that Phoenix did give you a prospect they didn't give you a starter.

If you drafted Raymond Felton, and waited to see what Phoenix saw on the board, perhaps they may have found a center that matches Thomas' play.

We'll see what happens come September but this off-season was only good due to the hype analysts gave it.

The Cruel and smart Analysts like myself and Chad Ford see the Knicks' as a team with a miserable future ahead.

Oh and a drama similar to Last Year's Pistons.

Have fun scratching your heads.

Yeah,it really would have sukked if we got stuck with Gerald Greene..Are you for real??

When Nate stops the most overrated player in the NBA,Allen Iverson dead in his tracks,then maybe you will learn "education before ignorance"....

I'm a Sonics fan and I watched every one of the UW mens basketball games last year and have many of them on tape. Nate is incredible. He brings an energy to the floor that no one can match. He is able to rebound within, around, and OVER NBA players (such as Channing Frye) because he outworks them and people don't box him out. He is the first player to the ball in loose-ball situations which will net you posessions that don't show up in the stat book. His energy demands that the rest of the team matches it. Pac-10 point guards and other PGs from the NCAA tourney commented after every game that they hated playing against him because he was such a pest. He makes PGs want to get rid of the ball just to stop him harassing them. Even if he only does this for 8-12 min a game, he can change the whole complexion of a game and swing the momentum in your team's favor. These abilities have nothing to do with his physical stature and I see no reason why they wouldn't translate to the NBA. You Knicks fans are lucky to have him.

I will try to watch as many Knicks games as I can this year just to see him play. Enjoy!

didnt really read the whole thing but i saw a couple mistakes......like saying the knicks took frye at 8 when they couldve had felton....wasnt felton taken with the 6th pick by the bobcats?!.....therefor we couldnt get felton even if we wanted him because he was already off the board.....

second you said if boston didnt pick gerald green we wouldve got him, but you forget that jerry west was itching to take green if the celtics didnt draft him...the griz were even trying to move up in the draft because they knew the celts were going to take green if he slipped that far...so we had no chance of green either with the 21st pick

I've seen Nate the great play since highschool. My highschool is in the same division as his and i even got the oppurtunity to get used by nate in a few minutes of garbage time. Its not as embarressing now since he's a NBA player now. But i've watched probably every college game nate's played in and i can tell you passion and intensity is something that is NOT missing from his game. He plays like Rudy but with tons more athletic ablitly and talent. Larry brown is going to love his intensity in practice and that will earn Nate playing time. Nate is not an And 1 type of player where he just tries to shake people. Nate just dribbles right by them because he is so fast and low to the ground. He was also a state track champion as well. Nate also only cares about basketball and his family so i dont think he will get blinded by money and instead work on getting better and better.

musiclexer · 10-03-2005, 04:58 PM

You can add me to the club

Even tho hes on our rivals I would Luv for Philly to have a player like NateRob

hes a monster

he'll be like Ben Gordon in Chicago last year.

j0se · 10-06-2005, 05:55 AM

He won't get over 10 minutes a game, you're an ~~idiot~~ if you think so.

maybe when one of the most UNDERRATED players in the league ALLEN IVERSON schools nate`s backside you`ll realise the difference between a superstar HOF`er and an earl boykins wannabe

Nate Robinson has 0% possibility of winning any awards, Larry Brown will bench this guy the whole season.

Nate is a freestyle player, Brown doesn't like that.

I can't even believe someone actually wrote this bull****.

First: Houston eventually retired so we got the better end by waiving J. Williams

Second: K. Thomas is still a decent player, but how long will that last for a man of his age ....

Third: Felton was drafted before Frye.

Fourth: You don't know if Frye is overhyped or not, his preseason has been ok but he haven't really played a single game

hehehe, actually this on is funny. Makes no sense though....
Hmm... What if Washington had not traded away Webber, Rasheed or Ben Wallace.....

Posts like these are not worthy anwering really, so i'll just stop here

Have fun with Dalembert's contract for the next few years and best luck that Webber's knees hold up...

ChosenFEW · 10-20-2005, 01:33 PM

i see other rookies contributing more......especially taller ones like villanueva who play for bad teams but could avg double double in points and rebounds.....all nate could do is score and dish out maybe 5 assist(since he is a shoot first guy), and with a knick team full of scorers its going to be hard for him to get his looks
