Re: James Dolan telling people around him firing Isaiah was a mistake

This actually makes the fact that they don't seel out every game even
worse if they only have to move about 5000 tickets a night since the
balance is already sold.

That means 75% of the time this year they had unsold seats. The fans
are not coming to see the Knicks, they are coming to see the opposing
teams.

Just wanted to chime in hear and say to glenn that it was just
reported that knicks have sold out at the garden 4 times now already.
I guess that might destroy your theory but just goes to show you,
money is still being made. Dont think they needed AI for alot of

Not quite, I guess I wasn't clear enough. I was inferring that D and
Walsh made the decision not to play him and I personally thought it
was Walsh who was trying to get Marbury to accept a buy out that he
(Marbury) wasn't prepared to take. From what I recall Marbury was
offered the buy out not long after he was told he would not be

Read the above. Your last argument was that D wanted to keep him and
that it was Dolan who wanted him out. Now you're suggesting in the
same thread, several messages later, that D wanted him gone and Dolan
wanted him to stay. This is what makes it frustrating to talk to
you. Are you just picking a perspective at random? Do you have a

So you don't buy the connection from the old Suns team that D never
wanted him and refused to play him?
I think that deal was all Laydown as you put it (rightfully so) Dolan
was just following.
Doesn't make him a good owner either way, I just like that he is at
least smart enough to not give in to AI. I am almost sure D and Walsh

The Suns traded it to the Jazz. The Knicks' 2010 pick goes to Salt
Lake City.

Actually he went on with Garnett to the Western Conference Finals as a
Timberwolf. They didn't trade him because he was washed up. (The
Knicks, trade someone before they're over the hill? Ha -- that's
usually the other way around). They traded him because Dolan didn't
like him. Period.
Must be why one of the ten teams he played for kept him, eh? At any

Knicks should NOT sign any washed up veterans

What's the fucking point? Win a couple more games? What's that gonna
fucking do?
Everyone knows the Knicks are dumping salary and the Knicks should
stick to the plan. Making panic moves by signing veterans in hope of
a few more wins is exactly what got the Knicks into this fucking mess
in the first place. Stick with the dumping plan.

Someone told me that you're the joker that claims the Knicks are
better with Ewing and Ewing is stopping the Knicks from greatness.
Awesome prediction.

This is really getting crazy now. Who is the next beat up guy they
will make trade cases about? Yao? Peja? Brand?
The last thing we need is a guy that is injured all the time and is a
streaky player at this point. I'd r rather just play who we have.
