How to Get Booed on Draft Night: Move Down

It probably makes sense to ignore the Knicks faithful within Madison Square Garden on NBA Draft night -- I seem to remember some misplaced giddiness last year. But Donnie Walsh might be taking the idea too far if this rumor from Howard Beck of the New York Times has heat:

According to executives with two teams, the Knicks are discussing a swap of first-round picks with Portland. The Knicks would send the No. 6 pick, forward David Lee and another player to the Trail Blazers for the 13th and 27th picks and a player, possibly Steve Blake or Jarrett Jack.

Just imagine the outpouring of love when David Stern announces the Knicks have traded the coveted #6 pick for a late-lottery and late-first ... and sent David Lee out of town in the process! I imagine it'd be far worse than the infamous reaction for the Renaldo Balkman, which you can see below at around the 55-second mark.

Let's face it. If the Knicks send David Lee away it will at least guarantee his future stardom and possible All-Star selection. Anyone remember Marcus Camby, Antonio McDyess and, oh well, I think you get my drift. Just think of how many players now doing well on other teams that just could not seem to "play" for the Knicks. The Yankees used to do the same thing with players but at least they already had players in those positions that could not be moved out. Hey Donnie, please fix this NBA cesspool and make them respectable again.
