The Proud Franchise

Farewell, Taz!

Remember how hard Renaldo Balkman got shit on that fateful June evening in 2006?

Il Gallo don't know nann 'bout that thurr.

Clipse Deal for Camby, Leave Knicks Holding Z-Balls

Maybe New York Knicks GM Donnie Walsh should have just taken that second rounder for Zach Randolph.

Marcus Camby just got moved from the Denver Nuggets to the Knicks' only potential sucker Los Angeles Clippers for a switch of late-round draft picks that may ne'er need be switched. Stinging even more is that the deal takes effect in 2010, a year in which the Knicks have no draft selections of any kind.

Stephon Marbury is the NBA's Answer to Mike Tyson

Il Gallo wasn't the only special foreign body making an American television debut yesterday at Vegas Summer League.

LAS VEGAS - First round selection Danilo "Il Gallo" Gallinari sidestepped a Darko-like first quarter to post an impressive debut as the New York Knicks defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers and extended their Vegas Summer League-leading win streak to 6 games.

Last season's Vegas Summer League MVP, Nate Robinson, was not in attendance due to nagging baby mama issues.

Clips Try to Trade Squat Pick for Z-Bo, Walsh Says "No, I Got Balls!"

The Los Angeles Clippers want a Zach Randolph for a 2nd round pick? That's it?!?!

No, thanks. 

Z-Bo might be a complete dolt with an albatross contract but he still has 20-10 ability. You don't just throw that away because you want to get under the cap. Apparently Big Donnie DOES have some sense. Elgin and DUNNleavy, step your game up.

Welcome to the Party Life, Chris Duhon!

When you're [orange and] blue... ain't got nothin to do...

Headed to the party life.

Let that Jigga run as you read along. It's today's theme music.

What Chris Duhon's going to provide at the lead guard position that Starburst doesn't is beyond me. In Duhon the Knicks get a guard hard-pressed to put up Larry Hughes-ish field goal percentages.

As Knick floor leadership transitions from The Great Escapegoat to a nigga who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with anything but his penis, there is one category in which Duhon won't leave any slack.

Clips Mean Business While Warriors Prefer Brand, Not Generic

Pop Quiz: Which of these guys just received a $65 million dollar contract over 6 years from the Los Angeles Clippers?

A)

B)

C) 

D)

If you answered "D)," I'm not surprised. This is not rocket science. Baron Davis had been wooed by the Clippers the moment Free Agency began and is now poised to reward the Clips by leading them back to respectability.

Agent Zero, This Is Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept It...

Remember those old episodes of Mission Impossible in which the agent would go to a tape recorder that would tell him what his next mission (if he chose to accept it) would be and then warn:

"This tape will self-destruct in 5 seconds?"

If you answered "yes" and are wondering why I ask... Consider the follwing scenario:
