Toronto Press: NY Circus in Town
The Toronto Sun has an interesting take on the 2008 Knicks, as they head into town to face the Raptors.
“…Just as New York is the city that never sleeps, the Knicks are the team that is never without controversy.
The Knicks, in town tonight as the Raptors make their home exhibition debut, just went through a typically tumultuous off-season.
Isiah Thomas finally was forced out after years of bungling, but longtime Pacers executive Donnie Walsh came in and gave former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D’Antoni a whopping four-year, $24-million US deal. Never mind that the current roster doesn’t suit D’Antoni’s run-and-gun style at all….”
D’Antoni also must deal with highly paid wildcards Stephon Marbury and Eddy Curry.
Well, can’t really argue with how this team is portrayed around the league. But starting today, it won’t ever be like it was, at least that’s what fans hope.
