Knicks Blog | ESPN New York So how do you see this Knicks' roster unfolding this summer? In the annual "Take 'Em or Trash 'Em" voting, Jason Kidd and Amar'e Stoudemire got the boot. Kidd didn't score in 208 straight minutes in the playoffs, and Stoudemire is due $21.68 million next season -- the highest on the team's payroll -- without even a guarantee from Mike Woodson that he'll start. However, fans stood behind J.R. Smith and Tyson Chandler, even though they were basically no-shows in the Pacers series.

NetsDaily In an article published before Sunday's Knick loss to the Pacers, Dave D'Alessandro laments the passing (a pun that works on so many levels) of Jason Kidd, who by now everybody knows didnt score point between April 23 and May 20.

And the Nets would undoubtedly like to obtain gua...

New York Knicks May 17, 2013Knicks Blog | New York Post Mike Woodson gave strong indications he will stick with the same rotation for tomorrow's do-or-die Game 6 that didn’t include Jason Kidd in the second half but the Knicks coach still supported the future Hall of Famer who appears to be running on fumes.
