Me and Isiah Thomas have the same problems....

Well, except for the fact that there is of yet no sexual harrassment suit pending against me. And the fact that I'm not being called an idiot by every NBA writer, but that's probably just a problem of visibility. I'm sure if the media saw my star studded second to last place fantasy hoops squad, they would have a field day.

Isiah Thomas just traded for Steve Francis to compliment Stephon Marbury in one of the highest paid backcourts of all time. The problem is: these guys are the exact same player. Well, the real problem is that these guys are the same player and that this player doesn't win games.

From Minnesota to New Jersey to Phoenix to New York Stephon Marbury has never won a playoff series. On his first two tries he even had the bonus of Kevin Garnett on his team. He still couldn't win.

From Houston to Orlando Steve Francis has been in one playoff series ever and lost it (to the Lakers with the Rockets and Yao).

Starbury and Franchise? Together? Is this NBA Live? If so this team is going to be great. I think that this is still the real world though, so no dice. Who brings the ball up? How do they divvy up the shots? Both these dudes need the freedom to shoot 40 times if they feel like it.

The only explanation is that Isiah is trying to drive Larry Brown insane. It would take a miracle for this team to win 20 games this season. At a roster cost of 120 million that equates to a mere six million dollars per NBA victory. And the coach himself costs another ten million dollars a year. And then the luxury tax. If I owned the Knicks I would remove one of Isiah's eyeballs and have my way with his ocular cavity.

Las Vegas has installed the Knicks as a four point dog against the Terror Squad All Stars this summer in the Rucker league. Crack!
