Report: McDyess out 'most, if not the entire season'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW YORK -- Could the New York Knicks' preseason take a worse turn than it reportedly has Sunday?
McDyess
Power forward Antonio McDyess is expected to miss "most, if not the entire season" with a knee injury he suffered in a preseason loss Saturday night, the New York Daily News reports on its Web site.
The Daily News cites a person close to McDyess in its report. The newspaper said the Knicks have a 5 p.m. ET conference call scheduled to address the injury.
A Knicks spokesman would neither confirm nor deny the severity of McDyess' injury except to say that the club would address the media late Sunday afternoon.
It is unclear if McDyess suffered ligament damage in his surgically repaired left knee, but the Daily News' source indicated that the Knicks are expecting to play without McDyess, who was acquired from Denver last June for Marcus Camby, Mark Jackson and the No. 7 pick in the 2002 draft.
McDyess' injury was initially diagnosed as a hyperextension. He was able to limp off the court under his own power, slamming the scorer's table with his hand as he headed to the locker room with 1:55 left in Saturday's 94-87 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
After dunking a miss by teammate Howard Eisley, McDyess fell to the floor clutching his left knee. Surgery on the same knee last season -- exactly one year to the day Saturday -- limited McDyess to just 10 games last season.
"I don't want to go through this again if it's anything major," McDyess told reporters after the game. "I just can't do that. I'm just hoping it's something minor, I get it treated and I'm back soon."
McDyess had 23 points and 15 rebounds before going down, his third straight strong performance for the Knicks. He was one of the lone bright spots on a night when the Knicks committed 28 turnovers, including seven by Allan Houston and five each by Shandon Anderson and Kurt Thomas.
The Knicks already have lost Latrell Sprewell for 6-to-8 weeks because of a broken bone in his right hand.
"I just pray it isn't too serious,'' coach Don Chaney said Saturday night. "He really is a stud. If he's healthy, he's destined for a great year."
McDyess originally injured the knee during training camp a year ago and had surgery to repair the patella tendon. He returned and played 10 games, but soreness in the knee forced him to sit out the final month of the season.
... well, I guess I can start my bandwagon jumping early this year now that I know for sure that the Knicks will suck... this blows...
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
its funny because its the knicks
...it hurts when you love a team so much and...... well, now I know what it's like to me a Met fan....
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Anyone see the other day when he was bragging about the trade for Camby after Camby got hurt saying the Nyggets may have the worst record in basketball this year. Well I think the Knicks just got that. At least we have a shot Lebron James this year or will layden trade the number 1 pick for an awful point guard or washed up center.
Lets Go nets Go!
i am a nets fan, have been since i started watching basketball
it is depressing to see how awful of a GM the knicks have
This reminds me that Paul Pierce is God.
Whatever hope there was for this season just went limping away.... FUCK!
he has a broken knee cap.
hehe
I wonder how long a broken kneecap could keep him out..
Oh, hi there :-D
the knicks are gonna blow my left testicle :firebounce:
Don't you see how good this is for Knick fans?
Now Knicks will wind up in last place, Layden can finally be fired, and Knick will get a lottery pick.
See - we just have to endure 1 more suck-ass season.....
Lebron James in a Knicks Uniform? :lol:

SG: Why not? How do you think Scott Layden got hired by the Knicks?
... the Knicks need to be that one sports team who's plane crashes and everyone dies, with Layden on it... it's the only way to avoid our money woes....

Knicks are still too good for the first pick.

More, what i see happening is the Knicks just missing the playoffs. They have the exact same team as they did last year except now they have world beater Michael Doleac :rofl: They will finish right around where they finished last year. DOn Chanely will get fired at teh end of the year. Dolan will save his job because of what happened with Mcdyess and Sprewell. Knicks will sign or trade for an untradeable contract, trade their number 1 pick next year and they will be shitty like this until Layden is fired and the Dolan's sell the team.

who's job? Layden's? I can't imagine (or don't want to imagine) Layden still here if McDyess is out most of year. As for how bad/how high they pick, I don't know; but something must happen right.
Here is Shaun Powell's take (from Newsday)
<a target="new" href="http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/ny-sbpow142964978oct14.column">Knicks Still Competitive? No Dice; Time to Rebuild</a>
Maybe this is the ultimate conspiracy - no Ming because LeBron James will come to NY
uicide:
My bad, I meant to say layden. Because of the injuries, Layden will get a pass this year. Chaney might too, but I think if it turns into last year, they may fire him at end of year. Layden will stay. Besides with Cablevision slashing and cutting everything, they won't fire Layden, pay him rest of his contract and bring in someone else new at top cost, to ultimately not be able to do a Damn thing with the Knicks salary cap.

Seriously, the guy gets stabbed and nearly dies and still manages to play soon after.
So much for Layden's "win now so I can keep my job" plan. Just remember, Caron Butler could have been in a Knicks jersey, and we still would be bad enough to get a good pick next year.
