Yeah, I thought KP must have been high when he made that bonehead giveaway too.

Excellent post, and one I think most people would agree with if they could get beyond the Randolph hostility.
It's exactly the same reason why I'm crossing my fingers that Ron Artest doesn't go to LA.
Both Randolph and Artest are deeply flawed human beings, but both guys are scary if you put them in the right position to succeed.
And that's why New York was wise to pass on this deal. Somebody else is bound to come along and realize that too.

I agree. Lay off the guy. He's a good player. 17 & 10 last season. And considering he had to share the post with Curry, that's pretty darn good. Plus- why all the bashing of his passing? He averaged 2 assists and less than 1 turnover a game. That's not bad at all.

I'm not a Zach fan by any stretch, but if I were the Knicks I'd at least try to put his fat butt on the court and see what he can do in an actual offense -- hell it's the Least-ern conference,

Leastern conference?? You mean the conference that has won 3 of the last 5 championships?

Who cares. West has a bunch of good teams. East has the best team, and a bunch of mediocre ones too.

Yes the Least-ern Conference; where over the course of a season Zach plays against more weak competition than he would if he were in the west.
Is this the place where I say checkmate?

Thank you! Need I remind anyone that our last three playoff victories were because of Zach's placement in the starting line-up?

I think that was more of a coincidence. We had a ton of injury issues in 06-07 and still won 32 games. In 07-08, the games of Webster, Roy, Outlaw, & LMA all improved. We would've won at least 41 games if Zach had stayed. I'm sure of it.
