So long Jalen:Don’t let the doorhit you on the way out

Not sure this made sense, especially with an open roster spot — an expiring contract can have some value, but Isaiah’s not looking to add bodies. Too bad. The bodies that they have are not exactly premium quality.

At the same time, subtracting Jalen Rose and his attitude can only be viewed as a plus, especially because the Knicks have nowhere to play him.

I see this team winning between 33 and 37 games, depending on how things break. They have some potential pluses — last year’s rookie trio, Eddy Curry, Jamal Crawford and, when he gets back, the Jared Jeffries.

There are useful parts — Q-Rich — and one massive question mark: the carbon-copy guard tandem of Marbury and Francis. So we’ll see.
