Starbury and Francis are good friends not to ention Both of them could put up 18ppg+ each and 6.5 assist for Steve and 7+ for Stephon plus Nate and Jamaal could average 10-13 ppg each not to mention Eddy Curry getting 16.5 and 8+ rebounds and Channing Frye getting 9.5 and 7+ rebounds that's 82 points just for 6 players not to mention Jalen rose with about 8 ppg and Q-rich averaging 9ppg and solid defense from Malik rose with about 6 ppg and tough minded plus 5+ rebounds
Thats 105 points per game.
Marbury and Francise can indeed co-exist

hahaha they will score 105 points only if they play against the hawks or blazers...
all knicks players love isaiah not because he's a good coach but because he is soooo much more flexible and approachable compared to larry brown's bossy approach...
but the marbury-francis experiment is certainly worth a try, coz larry brown didnt give it a chance...

NY HAS JARED JEFFRIES NOW!
All of those stats that you quoted are all based on quality minutes but with that many guards, they can't produce like that. Plus Isiah is not a good coach. I'm actually from Indiana and he messed us up the year when we were suppose to win it all. As a matter of fact I'm still mad at him for trading Jalen Rose to Chicago.
If I were coach, I would trade "Starbury" and Malik Rose for a quality big man. I don't care what anybody says, YOU CAN NOT WIN BIG WITHOUT A GOOD BIG MAN!!! If NY started Crawford, Franchise (no real PG but 2 people that can alternate) with Jalen Rose, Jeffries and Curry, they will be ready to roll. Then they have Robinson, Lee (plays 2 positions, 3 & 4), Q.Rich (plays 2 positions, 2 & 3), Taylor and Q.Woods (I love Quintel. He's my favorite Knick), plus, whatever they get from the trade. WOW! That's a good *** team.

Do you believe the crap that's coming out of your mouth? They didn't work last year, and you can say it was Larry Brown's fault all you want, you don't become one of the best coaches of all time by tearing teams apart and calling out your best players...which I don't believe he did. Besides, this team has already played together and they where sub .500 then, and even worse. They have too many ego's on the team and too many if you have 6 players scoring all your points, your not going to win, teams are just going to shut those players down. Isiah will be FIRED by the end of the season. I hope I'm wrong, cause I like Steve Francis and Malik Rose and Jamal Crawford, but I bet I'm not.

You can spit out all the stats you want, fact is this same exact squad played together for a couple months last year and were absolutely atrocious. They have no chemistry whatsoever, no defense, and no discipline. They're a bunch of me-first ballhogs. The Francis trade was horrible...with Francis and Marbury taking all the shots, everyone else is shooting every time they get the ball out of fear that they won't get enough chances.
So no, the Knicks will NOT do good...at all...

The Knicks are terrible and Isiah is terrible. This does not make for a good combo. They may have a better record than last year but that wouldnt be hard.

I think they'll play better b/c they will be more comfortable with their coach.
