I agree. The guys I think who might be the most susceptible to this are Deron and Dwight (not saying they'll want to go to NY, but just saying that they may find the draw of say a Lakers or a Celtics more appealing than their current situation).
Especially given the current flux their Team(s) are in both on and off the Court.

I know you're being sarcastic...but just incase anyone actually thought that about the NY fanabse here on the GB. It's not true (speaking on the majority side). Yes, we like what Felton brings to the Table, and he's a step in the right direction from Duhon...but we'd still like an upgrade if one ever presents itself.

No. They do not think that.
Most around the League will tell you that Donnie is a VERY patient man (sometimes too patient at times). He also has a great grasp of not only the Salary Cap, but of the concept of a proper rebuild into a Contender.
He's surrounded himself with some good Management guys in NY, and he's set himself up to be a Player in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Will it always pan out? No, absolutely not. BUT, the key point is that he has put NY into a position to be a player.
The last regime in NY to do that was Grunfeld.

Remember when everything about Lebron was about going the Knicks? Hey NY, how'd that work out? STFU about Paul and Melo in NY until they are in MSG wearing a Knick uni.
