I respect your position with regards to Walsh despite many a fan blogger already losing confidence in the good ole boy.

Did you know that This is the last year that GS Warriors GM Chris Mullen wil be under contract with that organization.

I recall you mentioning an article in which the Knicks had already designated a GM or assistant GM but do you think that acquiring Mullen to add IQ points, and fresh ideas to the Knicks’ “braintrust” would be a move for the following offseason?

In the meantime cumbaya!

Another reason that all eyes are on Missouri the show me state.

To calm down I checked out the internet for what the consensus would be on the choice to can Patrick Ewing Jr. over Anthony “shoot blanks first and ask questions later” Roberson or Jeromes “BIG HEIST” James.

The consensus is pretty overwhelmingly against this latest decision by the entity our very brother DLT dubbed Waltoni. Actually come to think of it this entity is a three headed hydra which once and for all disproves the theory that two-in this instance three- heads are better than one. This monstrosity, the terrifying Manegerial creature I dubbed Waldoltoni, (frightening combination of Senile Donny Walsh, Penny Pinching James Dolan, and Offense First and Last Mike []‘antoni) initiated a Garden coup to exit a young player who represent’s a link to the Franchises defensively inspired fighting spirit of yore. The move also ousted a talent who might be able to help the franchise addresses several possible pressing needs that are more glaring than adding another gun to what many here believed was a pretty fully loaded offensive entity.

Although Ewing Jr. stands at only about 6’8, he demonstrated during the preseason an ability to be able to play bigger than his stated size as exemplified in his ability to block shots, rebound, and play above the rim where many a shot of our other fowards- Z-Bo, Lee and even Curry often get sent back. Moreover Ewing Jr. comes in at about 240 pounds and possesses a 40 inch verticle leap coupled with a relentless energy that could have only been passed down from a legendary father. Ewing surely played bigger than the two pouting and lazy oaths that will now continue to occupy the Knicks roster and bench while creating pot holes and cracks in the flooring of MSG. Also D’antoni has relied on a small but combative front court lineup of David Lee, and Zach Randolph. In addition D’antoni has suggested that he would utilize the rail thin and brittle Jared Jefferies as a center in his system. Therefore the argument that Ewing is to small to play in the post for the Knicks plainly fails to recognize the coaching staff reliance on smaller but more active players on the front lines and in general.

Ewing Jr. also would have provided young and cheap fronline depth that the knicks could have used and surely lack- Jefferies injury, Chandlers Knee issues, Curry’s and James ineffectiveness in []‘toni’s system, Z-bo & Lee’s possible exit via trade, and Rose age.

Yet, Walsh’s stated reason for keeping Roberson over Ewing Jr. was that he needed to address a need namely shooting.

That excuse is as naked as the Emperors new clothes were to the young child in the crowd telling the emperor he was naked. The Knicks currently have a roster of players capable of shootng the ball- Robinson, Crawford, Gallinari, Richardson, Randolph, Marbury and to a lesser extent Duhon. Yet again the managerial monstrosity of Waldoltoni chooses to pinch pennies and slight the defensive side of the ball. Waldoltoni chose to keep a shooter who shot 20 percent generally and only 25 percent beyond the arch to sure up it’s shooting, when more glaring needs- unstated by either an incompetent, disengenouse or outright senile- Donnie Walsh went unmentioned.

At the end of this day Lives mantra that the mask on the Knicks recievership has come off cannot ring more true.

I strangely get a feeling of a soldier going out to war with an abundant arsenal of weapons but that has failed to even strap on a either a bulletproofvest (defense in general) or a blast shield (shot blocking) in a machine gun laden warzone.

This to me spells TROUBLE
