It’s not easy being a Knicks fan. And it’s not getting any easier.

The decision to send Channing Frye to Portland and get Zach Randolph in return is a nail among thousands more in the coffin.

The Knicks are a Betty Ford clinic for delusional, over-paid talented players with a bad attitude. They all have huge contracts, all don’t know how to win and all have only discovered the letters m and e in the word team so far in their lives.

Isiah knows how to draft players. David Lee (my favorite player), Channing Frye, Trevor Ariza, Renaldo Balkman and Nate Robinson are all great promising players, with great attitudes, who want to win.

Yet drafting ability is Isiah’s Jekyl to his trading ability Hyde. There isn’t a ballooned contract in the NBA that Isiah hasn’t lusted after and that hasn’t end up roosting in New York.

The Knicks are being managed like Enron, from quarter to quarter, with no focus on the longer term and no fiscal responsiblity (because chumps like me still pay $60 a pop to see a game). That’s Dolan’s fault, who only knows how to run a monopoly business, and even then poorly.

The Knicks traded Ariza to Orlando for Francis and his huge contract. They then trade him along with Frye to Portland for Randolph and his even bigger 4-year $60m contract. In the space of 1.5 seasons. What vision does that demonstrate?

The end result: the young guys are leaving, and the acquisition of huge stupid contracts spirals out of control. There is Jalen Rose who was paid $15m/year, stayed half a season, and then sat on the end of Phoenix’s bench last season while the Knicks picked up the tab.

The Knicks have no core. Head-in-the-stars-bury is a good point guard who is horrible in the clutch, can’t win and is past his prime.

The Knicks have Eddy Curry and David Lee, which is the beginning of something but that skinny semblence of something has been set back another year because of the departure of Frye.

They didn’t even get the point guard throw-away they should have.

This just kills me. But I’ll just keeping on lining up for more punishment.
