Since it's almost time for the NBA season to start, let's start the discussion. I will start with my ranting on Landen. I got this from yahoo which pretty much says what I'm thinking:

I'm at a loss for words. Scott Layden has single handedly DESTROYED this once proud franchise. For all you Knicks fans who need to be reminded lets start from the begining.
1. 1999 Layden selects Fredrick Weis over Ron Artest.
2. After the 2000 playoff run to the Eastern Conference Finals, instead of making Patrick play out the last year of his contract he trades Ewing for Glen Rice.
3. In 2001 Layden decieds to offer a 100 million dollar contract to Allen Houston.
4. Layden decieds to offer big money conracts to 3 crappy players: Shannen Anderson, Howard Eisley, and Clarence Weatherspoon. Thus creating the salary cap hell which the Knicks are in.
5. In 2002 Layden decides to trade away the 7th pick in the draft for Antonio McDyess. For god sakes the Knicks could of had Amare Stoudemire or Caron Butler.
6. Now the heart and soul of the Knicks (Latrell Sprewell) has been traded to Minnesota for Keith Van Horn.
