----------------From hoopshype--------http://www.hoopshype.com/rumors.htm About Frye "What's your definition of soft?" Frye said yesterday after summer-league practice in Westchester. "People have been called soft. Name something I do as soft? I just don't feel I emulate that." Knick president Isiah Thomas never thought so either, and targeted Frye in May at No. 8 after the draft lottery. "It's definitely a motivator because you feel you try to play the game right and they call you soft," Frye said. "There isn't anything I do that promotes the word soft. Do I miss practice? No. Do I not play hard? No. Do I miss any games? No. Do I back down from bigger guys? No. That's all right. I have to earn my name." New York Post "Frye refused workouts with all other teams, part of Frye's agent Rob Pelinka's draft strategy to steer him to the Knicks. Frey's parents, who grew up Knick fans in Brooklyn, also wanted him in New York. "We definitely kept the workout a secret," Frye said. "Once we found out the Knicks wanted us, we definitely felt it was the right place for us. If the GM was this aggressive with me, just imagine what other moves he could make." New York Post ......Frye是尼克迷,耍小手段留在new york..... About Swift "The Knicks' pursuit of PFs such as Swift and Antoine Walker — and the decision to draft heady Florida PF David Lee at No. 30 — demonstrates that Thomas is looking to use Michael Sweetney as a trading pawn. Sweetney refused to play summer league, which starts Wednesday in Las Vegas. Thomas said the decision didn't bother him, because of the trust he has in the 6-8 Georgetown product. However, Sweetney also has weight issues." New York Post "Stromile Swift, a 6-9 backup shot-blocking power forward, devoured steak with Isiah Thomas Saturday night, then toured of the Knicks' practice facility in Greenburg and watched the team's summer league practice yesterday. But it's still unclear if Swift — whose shaky mental makeup has Memphis on the verge of letting him flee — wants to be part of the Knicks' rebuilding. He didn't sound opposed to what's going on with the Knicks, who added four quality 25-and-under players in Tuesday night's draft bonanza." New York Post "Swift ran into a local news crew yesterday and talked about his interest. "It's a challenge," Swift said of the Knicks. "Everyone knows they haven't been that good, but they're bringing in pieces to be a good team." Evidently, it took only 24 hours for Thomas to brainwash him. After drafting 6-11 Channing Frye, Thomas is still looking to get longer at power forward and bring in a young 7-footer, preferably Washington free agent Kwame Brown, whose club is entertaining sign-and-trade possibilities." New York Post "Signing Swift, 25, will be difficult. Memphis GM Jerry West is not big on a sign-and-trade with the Knicks, fearful of adding payroll. The Knicks probably can't get him for the mid-level exception, raised this summer from $4.9 million to $5.1 million, according to union attorney Ron Klempner. "I'm not sure right now," Swift said, on whether he wants to join the Knicks. "I'm just weighing my options. I like it here though. I've learned a little bit about the city. Usually I'm just here playing the games. It's pretty nice. But I've got a few more visits." New York Post ..............swift好像都只是讲客套话,isiah端不出牛肉,只好请swift吃牛排................. About Herb "Herb Williams has a message for Bill Laimbeer: Don't be so cocky. If Larry Brown and the Pistons don't divorce, Williams said, he believes he will remain as head coach of the Knicks next season. If Brown stays in Detroit, Knick president Isiah Thomas will likely decide between Williams and Detroit Shock coach Laimbeer, who has zero NBA coaching experience and has just coached women." New York Post "Laimbeer has told reporters repeatedly he's a serious candidate, and told one member of the Pistons' family he's got the job if Brown doesn't. "I feel confident about it," Williams told The Post. "Yeah, well, I know his name has been out there a lot. But I feel confident." Brown and his agent Joe Glass were expected to meet with Pistons GM Joe Dumars today, but they may be asking for more time for the Piston coach to know whether the Mayo Clinic's treatment for his bladder woes will alleviate his problem." New York Post Herb和Laimbeer都尊Brown,并互呛中 都是来至new york post /// 问一下CTYYORK大 这是纽约的水果报吗??? --
