Hardaway and Ariza for Francis?

Cakes · 02-22-2006, 12:35 PM

It may happen today.

Wow the Knicks might be the worst run franchise in all of sports.......

Might? They are the worst

Trading a rookie and a guy that could have gotten them out of their cap hell sooner for a Marbury clone, yup it cements them as the worst

Barry the Baptist · 02-22-2006, 12:43 PM

I just don't understand how Francis and Marbury are going to play together. Yes unloading Hardaway is a good move but what are you bringing in? Another headache... so glad I'm not a Knicks fan

Cakes · 02-22-2006, 12:52 PM

From what I'm told Larry Brown wanted Francis more so than Thomas wanted Francis.

What a mess.

Thank goodness I'm not a Knicks fan.

nyjunc · 02-22-2006, 12:53 PM

why would anyone want Steve Francis? Imagine Francis and Marbury in the same backcourt

Ariza isn't a Rookie. He was here last year.
I think he has HUGE potential and losing Him and Sweeney (Traded for Curry) just kills a few of the Rookies that actually had potential.

EDIT: Deal is Done!

Snicks Nuck

At least Crawford isn't gone, he shows up at my gym and some firends and family of Knicks players have a team in the basketball league I play in. I even play w/ Mark Aguirre who plays pick up at my gym(I'm not sure what role he has but I see him behind the bench at Knick games alot)

NYJetFan37 · 02-22-2006, 01:17 PM

The thing I don't understand about this trade is that the original one had Crawford going to ORL, now we have 4 PG's, obviously Nate is going to rot on the bench now (was anyways since Larry hates him)

This is why I hate Larry, the second he took the job he threw a ruckus on how Stephon isn't his type of PG.....and then pushes a deal for Francis? Who is basically a poor man's Stephon Marbury, probably with even more of an attitude.

ButtleMan · 02-22-2006, 01:26 PM

I see & hear Francis's crap every single day. If he is not the #1 guy he will play like the #12 guy.
There is zero way he and Starbury can play together. NONE!
Another horrible trade for Isaiah.

From all accounts it seems as Larry was the one who pushed for this trade, so if Francis is successful, watch Larry get all the praise, on the other hand, if he is Marbury II, watch all the heat go on Isiah

Knicks get fleeced again. Who didn't see a moronic move coming? Hardaway was the only expiring contract left.

No, no point in dumping an expiring contract unless you get something of value back.

But who cares anymore? The Knicks are shot to hell as a franchise for at least 5 more seasons...

JoeWillie130 · 02-22-2006, 01:49 PM

Wow...he couldn't even send them back one of the other bum guards we have. What a mess this team is.

Drew · 02-22-2006, 01:51 PM

Ugh. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

ButtleMan · 02-22-2006, 01:53 PM

How many guards can you have on the floor at the same time?

The Dark Knight · 02-22-2006, 02:16 PM

This is great news!

Hopefully he suits up for Saturday's game at MCI.
