Lee is as untradeable for the Knicks as it comes. Lee gets traded, Isiah gets shot.
I am not kidding.
Your not kidding? I will forward this to NYPD Intelligence and the Station House that covers MSG. What's wrong with you? Did you ever figure out that a life is not worth taking? This is just a game son. RELAX
Don't play like that. In case you don't know, I am a Retired NYC Police Officer, so it would be wise to keep it clean. How old are you anyway?
You made a threat and put it in writing? Damn, some people are just plain stupid.
If you think you can you can, Get It Done!

He did. He got David Lee.

Good lord, relax bro. Apologies if it wasn't clear that I was being a little dramatic on a message board where a lot of people think Lee is God.
Edit: I don't want to get into an argument because that is not why I am here so let's just squash this now and I hope noone else responds to either post.

Cool Runnigs Bro. Just wanted to shed some light on you. Based on my experience as a Police Officer, I have seen me people get locked up for things that they did not mean to say, write or do. When they are locked up then and only then they would say that they did not mean it. Just looking out for you.
I totally respect the way you handled my post. We all want to vent our frustrations about the current state of the Knicks. I am with you on that.
Peace
As for Starbury, I just shake my head.

I just read this guy's blog. It doesn't say they are any ongoing talks. It simply says that in earlier conversations the knicks offered jeffries but never offered the guys that the Kings want in Lee and Nate. It doesnt even suggest that the Kings wants both of them, you can even interpret that they would be ok with taking one. It then says the Knicks offered Balkman. Again, this doesnt seem to be saying that these are new negotiations but, instead, old ones.

You are highly wrong. As I stated before people get locked up for writing things they meant as a figure of speach. When talking about shooting someone, it is usually taken literally and not just as a figure of speech.
Im just here schooling some of you young bucks. Take it for what it's worth.

QFT. I know of people who said similar things on political boards about certain political figures (I won't even repeat what they said or who they were talking about, because read literally it would sound like I'm making the threat), and they got an unfriendly visit from the FBI.
Don't make threats, not even messing around. Even if you don't mean it, someone might think you really did and do what any responsible citizen would do - report you to law enforcement.

Agree.
But Zeke is quickly running out of excuses for why this team sucks, and once the excuses are gone, the next step is usually a shakeup/distraction.
And Ron Ron is such a lightning rod that people would actually stop talking about how bad the Knicks are and go on for a week or so about Artest's personality, the Brawl, etc.
The media is like a bunch of 6 year olds with a soccer ball - kick the ball down the field and it's a safe bet they'll all run off after it. Imagine what a field day Mike & The Mad Dog would have with Artest coming to NY. They don't even like talking about the Knicks, and even they'd do a week of shows about it.

This is all just BS anyway. No way Sacramento is asking for just Balkman. and if it's Lee and/or Nate that they want, I don't see why we wouldn't trade Nate. Nate scores a lot of points and hustles, but he's NEVER going to fit in here. Don't you see that the only times when he looks great is when we're down by 20+ points?? It's cause that's when he can play with reckless abandon and not be the pass-first guard that we need.
The only way we get artest is if Isiah can swing a deal involving either Q or Jeffries and without including Lee. We have way too many SF's as it is. It would be nice if we had Artest, with Balkman and/or Chandler right behind him, but no way we get rid of both Q and Jeff. Our bright young SF's will rot on the bench.
