    Well, if we had RJ, maybe we wouldn't have wound up with the #1 pick aka Yao. Something to think about

    I've heard a lot of people say that; I still think we would have only won 28 games if RJ, Jason Collins, and Armstrong were Rocket that year.

    Just a small mention of Eddie Griffin on msgnetwork by Isiah Thomas, while talking about how free agents are wanting to join the Knicks.

    http://msgnetwork.com/content_news....ticle&sports=basketball&team=other&league=nba

    What might have been unimaginable a year ago was this: Jamal Crawford insisting that the Chicago Bulls send him to New York, Vince Carter leaking out that he wanted out of Toronto and into the Big Apple and Erick Dampier posturing that he¡¯d take half the money he could get elsewhere to plant his 265-pound frame in Madison Square Garden.

    ¡°We¡¯re happy that six, seven months ago, we were in a situation where Eddie Griffin was turning us down,¡± Thomas said. ¡°Now we have some of the best players in the league voicing opinions about wanting to play here. It¡¯s let us know we¡¯re on the right track.

    Griffin imploding definitely set us back,esp.since we gave up so much.
    Derrick Chievious is another guy who belongs on this list.
    While we're at it,how about Rodney Big Mac McCray?
