I will whip you in the face with Sasha Vujacic's ponytail and then bust a three in yo eye. I will reject yo child's play (no chucky) fanhood like Dikembe. If you want to know more about championship basketball, come to los angeles and you can smell the smog, you candy ass.

Fresh off SportsCenter, Stephen A. Smith LOVES these moves for the Knicks. Says they'll free up so much money by 2010, that it'll give them enough to offer TWO max contracts, meaning that a LeBron could be teaming up with Wade, Bosh, or Amare, etc. (who is reportedly not happy right now in Phoenix).

b, 21b, 21I was watching their game briefly yesterday. The fans are actually really enthusiastic. They cheer on every play. They're great.

b, 21b, 21Small market teams definitely have it rough, but if they can put a competitive team on the floor then they do fine. There is no reason to think that the Oklahoma team will do any better financially that they did in Seattle unless they can become competitive. When the Sonics were a playoff team they didn't have financial issues, but when they were mismanaged into becoming a lottery team they suddenly "couldn't be financially competitive" because of their building. Hogwash! They couldn't be financially competitive because it wasn't fun to watch them suck.b, 21If the current management can't make the team successful on the court, then the franchise will probably be moving again in four years.
As for the Knicks, trading for Tim Thomas is basically telling the fans that you are not planning to win this year. Harrington, on the other hand, might be a nice addition.
