2007 NBA Draft Review
by Guichard Cadet
read entire article
In the preview article for the 2007 NBA Draft, I made some predictions and suggestions. This draft went pretty much the way most analysts called it, but the trades threw off enough people’s predictions.
I called 3 of the trades (Ray Allen, Zack Randolph and Jason Richardson); and 10 of the 14 players selected with lottery picks. Corey Brewer was my biggest miss.

2007 NBA Draft Special – 30 Team Evaluation
by Guichard Cadet
Wrap-up of 2007 Playoffs: My pick of a Detroit/Dallas NBA Finals fell short early because the Mavericks faced a team equipped to exploit their key weakness – man-to-man defense.
This is a very long read because it covers all 30 NBA teams, specifying their needs and trade possibilities. I also included a list of players slated as potential lottery picks, and the team that might select them.

Knicks At The Break - 2007
Structured Offense vs. Run & Gun
Thomas realized he essentially had two teams on his hands – one excelled in a half-court structured offense; the other in an up-tempo run & gun frenzy.

Isiah Bets On “Pocket Jacks”, Again
I have longed considered Thomas’ player acquisition style as someone playing a high-stakes card game. Perhaps I might have to consider whether Isiah sees himself more as a poet or Scrabble player. Since he’s been in charge of the Knicks, he has acquired:

Mets Chop Chipper-less Braves
Jones’ absence essentially ended any real chance the Braves had in the series, to catch the division-leading Mets or possibly a Wild Card spot. The sweep allows the Mets to put a history of Braves' dominance behind, even if only for the year.

Knicks Not Rich Enough To Afford Butler
This proved to be a double-edged sword, in that the contracted amount is low enough to demonstrate the predicament Thomas is in, as far as “salary cap and luxury tax hell”. If the contract was for, what many deem to be the fair market value for a decent or unproven NBA, somewhere in the range of $5million for 3 years then the Knicks not matching would be more palatable.

The WNBA Lifestyle?
The league’s problem is not that it lacks an identity or relevance, to the point where the predominant post-commentary on the All-Star game was an impromptu dunk contest, where most of the players failed to get it in. If lack of interest for such an exhibition game was the death knell to a league, then the NFL would be in great peril, as probably would MLB.
The answer lies equally in what is exhibited during the competition, as much as what female athletes do in their private lives. Last year, Sheryl Swoopes announced that she was in a lesbian relationship. That type of story could have served - and probably was hoped to become – a beacon into the WNBA life. Instead after a few weeks of minor discussion it faded because the viewing public made a distinction between lifestyle and personal space.

Will Knicks Quit on the Quick?
Can summer league success carry over into the regular season? This brings us back the question of talent and where exactly the Knicks are. Did they quit on their coach last season? By all accounts and specifically because of the results of the Larry Brown era – I mean season, of 23 wins and 59 losses.

Who’s Zooming Who?
by Guichard Cadet
The New York Knicks are 0-3 after Sunday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. It is also quite evident they are confused and running scared like the gang that shot Cyrus. For those unfamiliar with the cult classic flick (The Warriors) from 1979, understand that the Knicks are heading to the west coast for a six-game road trip. By the time they come home, it might get uglier than it currently has.
