"It's weird seeing the Knicks this bad and in such disarray."


That's the type of intimidatingly simple, but enlightened thought I had after hearing the Larry Brown media blitz. Knicks fans are supremely dedicated. The rest of us couldn't care less but for one simple reason: Now that Dolan's made this insane move, what will he do with these players?

We all know the Knicks are not a team, but a handful of their players can contribute on an actual team. It's insensible to consider Channing Frye as more valuable than even a Jared Jeffries, let alone Kevin Garnett. But, Jared Jeffries is becoming a vital part of the Wizards' scheme, especially defensively. Quentin Richardson displayed his value as a role player for Phoenix. Malik Rose contributed solidly for the Spurs during their recent runs.

Each NBA team that is still alive is playing team basketball, within its system. Jason Williams is playing unselfish basketball for the Miami Heat - who would have thought? This is the NBA today and in its future. So consider - what might a trade with a combination of the Knicks talented players be worth? Maybe a legit player(s).
