Nice dynasty, but what's with that light on the players necks on some pics?

It's EA's superb lighting effects.

Week 5: Can't Stop, Won't Stop
Last week: 4-0. This week: 4-0. After playing a couple of pretty weak teams in a row, the Knicks boost their record to 12-4. This weak their schedule contained 3 teams from the East and Memphis representing the West. In one of the easiest weeks of the year, the Magic, Grizzlies and Bobcats all came to the Garden and left with nothing. The Hawks were beaten in the Philips Arena.
Maurice Taylor got injured and only played 8 minutes vs. Memphis scoring 8 points. In the other games he had very different stat lines. just check the ESPN boxscores. Taylor is New York's 4th injured PF this season, after Sweetney, Rose and Thomas. Hyped rookie Trevor Ariza also finally came back from injury to play the final game of this week, make sure to check out his stats too!


NYK at ATL

Left: Al Harrington with the SICK alley-oop of the Josh Smith lob. Most of the time, Josh finishes himself, but Al Harrington delivered the most impressive oop of the season so far.
Right: Jamal Crawford has been shooting horrible this season, so his performance in the Hawks game was a pleasant surprise for both him and the rest of the team.

NYK vs MEM

NYK vs ORL

Left: Rookie sensation Dwight Howard doesn't fear anyone. He torched the Knicks for 20 points, mostly on dunks.
Right: Marbury showed pure point guard skills in this game, finding teammates almost anywhere on the court at anytime, not always getting him an assist, but still putting other Knicks in scoring position.
ESPN Boxscore - Knicks vs Magic


NYK vs CHA

Left: Kareem Rush showed his shooting skills. He still hasn't overcome the trade from the Lakers to the Bobcats and continues to prove himself.
Right: Ariza, fresh off a 12-day injury, delivered like never before. He surpirsed friend and foe, because even without a decent jumpshot, he scored 18 points, career high so far.

Your questions answered
ShivaSquad: With the emergence of outstanding play by Maurice Taylor, where will the future of the Knicks franchise develop (Sweetney and Ariza)? Us Knick fans are concerned about our future and feel that Trevor and Mike deserve more playing time, and more importantly, more touches!

Herb Williams: Your right about Sweetney and Ariza being the future of the franchise, but right now, which coach in this league would keep Taylor at the side to give Sweetney more playing time? He hasn't really being playing to his full potential, though he had some quite brilliant games already.

cocobee: Is Starbury playing well for you or are you looking to get rid of some players?

Herb Williams: Right now, it wouldn't be fair to openly talk about whom we're looking to trade. In a couple of hours, the front office will come out with an official press release discussing trades with the fans.

[kibaxx7]

Another 4-0 Week! Congrats man!

Btw, you got my PM?

[LegoTP]

Yep, congrats ceekay as always ! Wow wow 5 blks for Bosh !!

[John WB]

Nice wins! making the Knicks look good.

I love your ESPN recap image and ingame photos. Nice stuff. Keep up the good work.

[Its_asdf]

Ugh.... Knicks are 10-4.... How unrealistic.....
It's good to see that you're winning though, but your cap space must suck..........

[John WB]

You want him to throw the games just to make it more realistic?

And Knicks are a better squad now than they have been. They do suck on the road though.

[Its_asdf]

Heh, I was playing around. I'm happy for him that he's got such a good record.

Knicks Looking To Trade

New York - In a press conference earlier this night, Knicks GM Isiaih Thomas expressed his plans regarding the future of his franchise.

One of the players he announced to be on the trade block was starting PG Stephon Marbury. The Coney Island native came to the Knicks through a trade last season, but he hasn't brought what many expected from him. "The stats are there, but his leadership and his quality to make other players better, I haven't seen that yet", Thomas said.

A couple months ago, Marbury claimed to be the best point guard in the whole league, better than fellow New York area point guard Jason Kidd. Thomas said this hasn't had any influence on his decision, but ever since the article, Marbury has been criticized more by both Thomas, Herb Williams and the New York press.

This is the trade Thomas has been discussing with the GM of the Orlando Magic:


For this trade to happen, the Knicks would first have to sign free agent Roger Mason Jr. The salaries in this trade match and both teams have expressed positive feelings about it. The Knicks GM said he wanted to discuss the trade with the New York fans first, since he got a lot of comments on his last few trades.

OTHER NEWS: New Orleans point guard Speedy Claxton is rumoured to be traded to the Knicks too. New York lacks a back-up point guard and Claxton said he wouldn't mind playing for the Knicks.

nba_baller_50, I got your PM.
It's Asdf, I can't help my Knicks pwn your Raptors.
Nonetheless, my cap space still sucks, these trades won't make it any worse though.

EDIT: I forgot to tell you guys, I deleted my ESPN template by accident

[LegoTP]

Hmmm....... yeah why not... it might be interesting, it makes a free spot in your team. Steve and Stephon are very good but I don't know who to choose... Like I've said it might be interesting.

[John WB]

I'd keep Marbs. He has more range and turns the ball over less.

[cocobee]

YES, get rid of Marbury! Nice pick up! Francis will take over New York!

[Ataraxia]

Marbury, NY Born & Raised

Francis, Whiner

I think you should try and trade away Timmy T, Kurt T and Houston...try get someone like Shareef or Stro maybe...

[AlwaysWhat,NeverWhy]

No way, Francis is on a continuous slump, Stephon has something lwft in him. Don't do the trade

[John WB]

Don't get rid of KT unless you're getting better in return.

AH and Penny for someone/s good would be worthwhile.

[ShivaSquad]

marbury and franic r equal... marbury a LITTLE better shooter. francis better slasher and finisher... and nice dunks... more steals

He's more than a little better shooter.

The Franchise can't shoot. He scores all his shots at the basket. Marbury can hit the J.
