Sleepyspur, all I can say is for an NY team to make the finals, they would have to move the wholr org atleast three hours away from the city. As per my earlier post: "The NY way of life: partying and night-life, negatively correlates to their NBA performance." However, you say that mediocre players like Crawford and Curry for superstar Garnett is a good deal??? Minnesota is gonna ask much much more than that and ultimately the Knick are gonna end up with a bigger payroll than before!
