watching Kurt Thomas in NY for years, he is excellent. One of the few
players on the Knicks worth watching. Gives tremendous effort, nice
touch, has size. He's not over the hill yet and I'd love to have that
guy on my team.
Regarding the Johnson signing and trade, I think it is absolutely
insane. It makes the Vince Carter trade look good.
