Believe me, I appreciate honesty. But still, where are the manners on this guy? A new player is traded to the Houston Rockets. He is no doubt nervous about feeling accepted. This is the first thing out of Van Gundy's mouth when asked about Maciej Lampe:
"It was done for monetary reasons, first and foremost, then Dennis (Lindsay, the Rockets' vice president/player personnel) and Carroll (Dawson, the team's general manager) think he's not a bad player, either," Van Gundy said. "They say he can shoot. He's only 21. I've never seen him play, so I can't say."
Maybe Van Gundy still has a bad taste in his mouth since Knicks management stuck him with Frederic Weis in 1999.
