Knicks sign Jonathan Bender! He hasn't played in NBA in years

[ronnymac]

The Knicks have a plan B?. did they have a plan B when they got Curry? or Hughes? or everytime they made a blunder?.

Hughes wasn't really a blunder. Curry, and most other "blunders" were done by Dolan and/or Isaih, mostly Mr. Thomas is to blame.

There is a new GM. To attribute the previous GM's mistakes to the current GM is pretty ignorant.

As for Hughes, his contract expires this offseason. That was a smart move to bring guys like him and Harrington in. Crawford and ZBo had talent, but they were not going to be key parts of a championship team for the Knicks. And their contracts were too big to allow the Knicks to go after any real big FA's that they can build around.

Walsh made smart moves to move those longer contracts for shorter ones, and to add to that, Hughes and Harrington are playing pretty well for the Knicks, so it has been a very good move thus far.

THIS

Walsh turned ZBo and Crawford into Hughes and Harrington, about equal in talent with better contracts, while dumping Jerome James in the process. About as good as expected.

If he could move Jefferies or Curry he could be considered the greatest GM of all time.

I've said this many times, but the Knicks don't want to trade Jeffries. I'm confident D'Antoni doesn't. I think Jeffries is his favorite player (well, maybe 2nd to Gallo...).

Knicks will do everything in their power to dump Curry...everything. I think they trade jeffries only as a last resort.


If only there was another way to get Curry's contract off the books.....if, let's say Eddy were to be the victim of an unfortunate accident, that might solve a problem or two.....I mean, god forbid........


......looking at Knicks101, Bano114, and OneMoreSucka.......nodding in unison......wheels in motion..........Usual Suspects music plays........

That's the last time, Bender. That's the last time you ever make me look bad in front of those kids. You hear me? I make $31,000 a year, and I have a home, and I'm not about to throw it all away on some punk like you. But someday, when you're outta here, and you've forgotten all about this place, and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own pathetic life, I'm gonna be there. That's right, and I'm gonna kick the living sh#t out of you. I'm gonna knock your d*#k in the dirt.

Walsh "That's the last time, Bender. That's the last time you ever make me look good in front of those players. You hear me? I make $3,100,000 a year, and I have three homes, and I'm not about to throw it all away on some saint like you. But someday, when you're outta here, and you've forgotten all about this league, and they've forgotten all about you, and you're wrapped up in your own honorable life, I'm gonna be there. That's right, and I'm gonna kiss the living sh#t out of you. I'm gonna knock your doc in the dirt.

I don't see Wade coming here and honestly

Douglas
Wade
Gallinari
Bosh
Whoever

doesn't scream championship to me. We're not trying to build a Playoff team, we're trying to build a dynasty. LeBron gets you that, Wade and Bosh do not. If LeBron stays in Cleveland I say sign guys to 1 year contracts again, tank and try again next year.

No, sign a max guy and next year you have enough expirers for another max guy. 2011 we have the same situation as this year. Exactly.

Is Bender slang for gay in the US?

Yeah, but IMO Curry is only moveable if you paired him with a decent player in a trade or an expirer...Other than that, his crispy-creme donut ass is staying with the Knicks...I don't want to hear Knicks/Bulls trade rumours anymore, the thought of having that big lard ass back with my beloved Bulls gives me nightmares, and oh ,we don't want blackhole Harrington either!!

[bagelred]

and oh ,we don't want blackhole Harrington either!!

Harrington would easily become your best scorer. Your team blows......and it was SUPPOSED to be great. Nice.....

Who would you sign this year?


Saw this on Alan Hahn's twitter.

RT @meanbarb: DAntoni says he may play Jonathan Bender tomorrow, after only two days of practice.

I'm honestly afraid to watch Bender play. I keep picturing him in a wheelchair at 35.
