NEW YORK -- When I'm not being accused by first-grade readers of being excessively negative about the 19-52 Knicks -- who would have a hard time against the dead or alive 1952 Knicks -- and charged with having something personal against Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown and Stephon Marbury, I'm dared to holster my harpoon and my dirty red bandana, and formulate a solution to the team's problems instead of harping on them.
Though inclined to take the easy way out by setting up a tent around the Garden and calling it a circus, I accept their challenge.
The first order of business is for team owner James Dolan to hire a confirmed planner, a person experienced at erecting franchises pre-foundation and/or rebuilding them by creating something out of perishables or nothing tangible to the unskilled eye.
