What would the NBA be without the New York KNICKERBOCKERS in the NEWS. In abrupt fashion KNICKS President of Basketball Operation Donnie WALSH resigns as his contract was due to end in a couple of weeks. Walsh cites health concerns the BLUEDUDE cites WALSH wanted more control of personnel decisions and Owner JAMES DOLAN always gets the last OK on any deal.
What's this mean for the KNICKS?..... Well you should be asking what this means for the Head Coach of the KNICKS Mike D'Antoni. With one year left on his contract and the guy who hired him is out and what now. The NY MEDIA and D'Antoni have been at odds since he took the position but that's no secret because it's the NY MEDIA........the BEST n WORST in the US.
D'Anotni is definatly on the HOT SEAT in my estimation and his philosophy on the DEFNESIVE END needs to improve dramatically.
WALSH will be known as the guy who completely changed the KNICKS ROSTER......look at these SUBTRACTIONS and ADDITIONS under his watch:
Missed out on the LeBRON JAMES coming to GOTHAM CITY but received a nice CONSOLATION PRIZE in Amare' STOUDAMIRE aka STAT
SIGNES Ray FELTON to a 4 year $24 million Deal that solidified the PG Spot with TONEY DOUGLAS
DRAFTED in the 2nd Round out of Nowhere Stanford FORWARD Landry FIELDS who did not disappoint and ended up 1st team NBA All-Rookie
Then Came the PRESSURE to Bring Carmelo ANTHONY aka 'MELO to the BIG APPLE........WALSH thought the NUGGETS were asking for too much and considering that 'MELO wanted out of MILE HIGH.....the KNICKS had the LEVERAGE.......then WALSH seemed to be undermined in the DEAL by OWNER JAMES DOLAN who OK'D this deal:
The KICKS send PG Ray FELTON, SF Wilson CHANDLER, SF Dino GALLANARI, to the NUGGETS and in return the KNICKS get SF Carmelo ANTHONY and steal in PG Chauncey BILLUPS aka Mr. BIG SHOT, who stabalized the KNICKS down the stretch. The KNICKS wanted a SPLASH and made one.......but gave up way too much as CHANDLER and GALLANARI have become nice pieces.
ALSO the KNICKS send Eddy CURRY. CASH, Anthony RANDOLPH, and Timofey MOZGOF to T'WOLVES......to get some much needed CAP SPACE.
IRONICALLY, as WALSH exits SR VP of BASKETBALL OPERATIONS of the KNICKS Glen GRUNWALD takes over on an interim basis.....and who is his business partner or shall I say partner in CRIME.......ISIAH THOMAS......they go back to their High School days and INDIANA HOOSIER DAYS.
Told you the BLUEDUDE digs DEEP.......I always know what's going on and WHY...........as for the KNICKS...........IS ISIAH still in the MIX as it seems DOLAN van't keep his mitts off of ZEKE........We will find out soon.
