"This is shaping up as a fascinating showdown between Thomas and Brown, but it's only the first. No one knows exactly why Davis doesn't want to be a Knick. He went back to Chicago to tend to a family matter and wasn't available. But the horror stories about Marbury's influence with Isiah are out there. For Isiah, Davis' aversion to coming to New York has to be a slap in the face. He has been under the false impression that all 400 NBA players are dying to be on his team. Having Marbury here, that has been nothing short of a great miscalculation."

-New York Daily News

It's a total rant, like out of left field. Most media outlets are reporting he doesn't want to leave his family, and the Daily News throws in a cheap shot.

Petey was that Mike Lupica? You know he is one of the biggest clowns in the sports media world.

I got that off HoopsHype so I don't know, sorry Kitty.

What a joke. Davis has constantly been saying that he wants to be with his family in Chicago, and would contemplate retirement if he were to be traded to another city. That's why he wanted to leave Toronto in the first place.

When I got to this part I nearly wanted to give Vescey a swift kick in the rear end.

Check it out:

* Stephon Marbury held the Timberwolves hostage until they traded him to the Nets, where he was a royal pain in the posterior. Before coming to the Knicks from Phoenix, he was arrested for drunk driving and served time.

* Jamal Crawford corrupted the Bulls with his selfishness before Thomas rewarded him with a $46 million, six-year contract.

* Quentin Richardson's back is uninsurable on account of a disc injury suffered while a Clipper two seasons ago.

* Maurice Taylor arrived in New York by way of Houston following several seasons of substance abuse and fat attacks.

* Jerome James earned a $30M, six-year contract from Thomas because he played relatively well (when not benched due to foul trouble) against Tim Duncan in the playoffs. A year ago, his Sonics teammates were clamoring to have him traded or released because of a toxic attitude.

* Tim Thomas gained a reputation as selfish and arrogant as a rookie with the 76ers and bolstered it in Milwaukee before Isiah acquired him.

* Penny Hardaway, injury riddled and uncoachable in Orlando, where he championed a player revolt against Brian Hill, has lived down to his image in Phoenix and New York.

* Vin Baker's demons with drugs and alcohol were well documented before Thomas reached out for him. Despite a heart condition that required surgery and nearly a complete disintegration of skills, he got a new two-year guarantee worth $3.5M and $3.85M, an apparent gift to Aaron Goodwin as thanks for providing Crawford. Or were they both down payments on ultimately securing LeBron James, no longer a client of the agent?

* Eddie Griffin's crime spree apparently mesmerized Isiah Thomas, who went all out to sign the screwy forward before losing him to the Rockets.

* Eddie Robinson outworked no one in Chicago before being waived just past mid contract. His notorious bad habits turned off everyone but Thomas. Only a failed physical saved the Knicks from experiencing yet another terror alert.

In all fairness to Thomas, it's not as if he's stagnating in the job. He's gone from simply taking on unhealthy contracts to taking on unhealthy players and giving them unhealthy contracts. No wonder Knicks fans are so proud of Thomas' current product.

The perfect article to describe the Knicks. Talented, but otherwise Injury prone, and over-payed, that cap space is soon not going to be enough even to make Lebron James THINK about coming here.

that writer is a fool.

Lebron isn't thinking about leaving the Cavs whats so ever...so tell us something we don't know. Do you really think we care about cap space?
