Trevor Ariza

how can he because dermarr was such a good player last year it would seem wrong to get rid of a play who did soo good.

Dermarr wasn't that good. He scored a few points, but the guy can't do anything else.

What do you expect from a guy who had his neck broken in a car accident. Is in the NBA, 1 year later after being told he will never play basketball again. Demarr Johnson may never be the player that was drafted in the lottery a couple of years ago. But I have a lot of respect him for even going & proving all the skeptics wrong & playing NBA ball again. I personally hopes he makes the team.

His intensity certainly isn't there. He plays as if the game doesn't matter to him. He isn't careful enough and doesn't have the capabilities of other options such as Ariza. I hope he won't make the team and I'm 90% sure he won't.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MainEvent:</div><div class="quote_post">Ariza I think made a stupid move declaring for the draft in the first place. He didn't put up stats at all in college. Should have stayed in college to improve.</div>
Yes and if he didnt put up numbers in college what makes isiah think he will be able to do it in the spot light of new york city. Were so many have failed and even mike sweetny although he performed well to the end of the season struggled in the beginning there to even stay on the active roster.

Yes, he definitely exceeded the expectations we'd have for someone who broke his neck, but not for someone who is supposed to get minutes in the Knicks rotation. I don't think anyone expects him to be a lottery player, but right now, he is a liability on the court even if he scores a few points.

Ariza will be a good player for the Knicks. Ive watched him since college and he was really impressive.
