Hi, everyone. I'm semi-new to the Knicks NG, as I've lurked here for
months.  I'm a regular on the Rangers NG though. I'm a Knick season ticket
holder, and a Knicks fan by birth. Anyway, Starks has always been my
favorite player, and while I'll agree with you about any of his
shortcomings (poor shot selection, unability to control his emotions, etc)
I think the Knicks *would* miss him.

Why? Because while Starks is the kind of player who can lose a game for
you, he can also win one for you. How often have you seen the Knicks begin
games on the weak side of an 18-2 score. Then Starks comes in, has like 10
points in 5 minutes, and they're right back in it. Obviously, I'm
exaggerating, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Now, I know this NG is slightly harsher than most of the hockey ones. So,
before I'm mercilessly flamed, just consider the fact that this is
OPINION. Thanks.

Katie
