As if the balance of power wasn't already in the East, 
the New York Knicks now have the rights to Patrick Ewing.
This is sure to turn the Knicks into more than a legitimate
contender for the Division title.

For the past two years, it has been said that their (the Knicks)
division has been the most powerful in the NBA.  What does
Ewing's coming to New York make it now?  The most powerful
in the history of the NBA ???

I can only hope and pray that New York will be so constrained
by the salary cap that they will have to dilute some of their 
talent in order to sign Patrick.

Golden State has the worst record in the league and they 
get seventh pick.  Teriffic.  I hope this is the first and
last time we see Commissioner Stern's idea of a good time.


Go Boston!
