New York Knicks: You Know I'm No Good - --- I'm maybe just greedy, the
kind of cheese to pass me to get two Once more without knowing if it serves a delicious layer cake or a filthy homemade flan unfortunately. But I think Carmelo Anthony and New York could skip a few steps in their climb to success by simply waiting until the end of the season to celebrate their union through the market free agents. Greedy because such a strategy had the potential to Gotham City to see their dear and tender Carmelo return his jacket and put a rabbit, especially since the serial scorer could not claim such a big contract as currently a free agent as a player in his contract that extends his current club, even though NY is its current franchise for several hours.
--- But I maintain that the shot was worth playing for both Melo for the Knicks.
as I had suggested in September , interest for Anthony to wait quietly for the end his contract was that it would have allowed him to land on a team full rather than in an actual claimant, as is the case now because of this trade in good and due form. Clearly, the team he has committed is far less competitive than it would be joined in the early summer heat.
--- But perhaps more important, in concluding this transaction New York has certainly shattered the possibility of bringing Chris Paul this summer. It is known that the Hornets point guard swings at this time on his chair to see if it will remain in New Orleans or not when his contract will bind more to the franchise that had drafted. Now, faced with these hesitations that never disappoint many people on the aspirations of all-star point guard, there could be a year before this deadline-so-summer, the Hornets is very interested in the idea of transfer their franchise player to prevent him go in 2012 without receiving anything in return. It is this opportunity that I spoke first paragraph. The New York intact would have expected the offseason to hire Carmelo Anthony might have had all the pieces to convince New Orleans to separate prematurely from Chris Paul. But now that these parts-all-parts were used in the transfer of Anthony, the franchise has nothing to offer in exchange for five-star point guard. While there was a chance to bring Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul in the city that never sleeps for the start of next season, the Big Apple will have to wait a whole extra year to try to woo the Hornet.
--- And wait with a bit of team. Who says that with this team in New York half on his canes, upset in the middle of the season and a short distance of a post-season as the franchise has not seen for many years, Gotham does he not break his wonderful momentum, undergo a sudden and dangerous setback? With a roster cut to the sickle and supplemented by grafts of a different size, find the rhythm and victories will be difficult and, worse, could cause an adverse change in the atmosphere and the overall dynamics. The arrival of a player during the season is always complicated to manage, more if it is an indiv idu
the wingspan of Carmelo Anthony and the franchise has lost half of her even for him to come. These few months before the end of the season will be much difficult for the players, staff and supporters, and I do not know if everybody comes out unscathed. The Knicks could have been spared all that and start the next season, pumped up by the just ended if they had waited until the break of the offseason to make such an upheaval.
--- For if the next few months proved laborious, which is very likely as I tell you, New York may have lost some of its potential for seduction. If with this team a little short, the promising performances are not exactly at the rendezvous for a year and a half, do you think Chris Paul will want to get involved with as much fervor as what we imagine now? Or worse, perhaps wait does not 2012 and "accept" a transfer to another franchise before the end of his contract. No longer being able to offer a few things in New Orleans, the Knicks can do nothing else but watching Paul do the weather in other places than their own. Thus, the Knicks may have taken a bigger risk of never seeing the leader in their colors as you might think at first glance.
--- And this reasoning can be doubled with Deron Williams, whose contract ends at the same time as that of Paul. Moreover, keeping the "flesh transfers" that New York has used for Anthony, the Orange & Blue franchise could use it to woo Paul or Williams this summer: two times more likely to retrieve a first class leader and even better with this "dual candidacy", the two leaders wish to go to the beautiful Big Apple could urge their leaders to accept a transfer with more urgency as possible and thus may be less than expected in return, for fear of another leader to take the job instead. This also means that the New York franchise double those chances to bring a great leader in 2012 now that there is more that this option available to her. But again, it will maintain its potential for seduction for a year and a half while the team is disfigured. In the meantime, other franchises may be more enticing have made room in their payroll and will be so many competitors to conquer these two heavyweights.
Rushing --- so, I think the Knicks have perhaps cut a lot of possibilities. So, I'm not surprised to hear that
this operation has been performed more or less in the back of very competent General Manager Donnie Walsh and coach D'Antoni . And perhaps most troubling: if the owner, a little ignorant and capricious on the edges, definitely taken over the destiny of the legendary franchise's future looks stormy, far from the sunny horizon that we had glimpsed as lightly and as the season progressed.

workforce) lose their piquancy if these franchises can mitigate these risks taken by retrieving the players of the caliber of Troy Murphy or Mike Bibby also easily.
