Has anyone ever heard of this guy -- just signed or about to be signed by the Knicks? Supposedly, Timofey Mozgov (7'0) is the top rated international Free agent (by Draft Express) two years running. How come he didn't have to go through the Draft like Yao Ming and all those other Eurocats who take up so many draft slots? www.nytimes.com/2010/07/12/sports/basketball/12knicks.htmlHe had been eligible for several N.B.A. drafts without being picked. |

It's the Knicks. Enough said.
(I mean, they're talking of bringing Isiah BACK. The man who helped destroy the team. UGH. And people wonder why I hate the NBA now...

Knicks need to get Frederic Weis in camp this time, too.

I saw that on the ticker yesterday. I thought it was some kind of a joke. But as you said, it is the Knicks.

"he has bad hands like him (Mbonga) ..."
That certainly sounds like a ringing endorsement.

I think he'll be at least as good a Maciej Lampe.

Think we're just trying to stick it to Prokohrov. You put up a billboard in our hood, we're plucking recruits from yours.
Also, 100% chance that Isiah Thomas has photos of James Dolan cheating on his wife with a dude, or something similar. It's the only logical reason for not having cut all ties completely.

The "Thomas back" line is a vast exaggeration of a comment from Walsh about his retirement. He said he wasn't going to retire. THen he was asked about possible replacements. He kept saying no. THey asked about Isaiah Thomas and he said essentially -- "Hey, you never know".
Someone turned that into a story that Thomas might actually BE brought back.
No chance.

Sir, that would make a lot more sense, but that isn't the way the ESPN ticker listed it. I forget the exact wording, but I remember being shocked when I first saw it yesterday -- must've been during the Cubs-Dodgers game last night.
