Well done and congratulations JT!  Rider did a nice job and the fans showed up to show their love.  Jason was there for at least 90 minutes signing autographs.  One great thing about JT is he is the same person that he was the first time I met him when he was a Jr in high school.  It is great to see all his hard work pay off.

Expiring contract who could help for this year?  I don't know enough about Beno but I am not impressed so far Marbury would help this year but I don't think he is a long term answer.  So while it would add a few wins this year, I think the Knicks can keep him. 

I don't think the Knicks will play Marbury this year and may release him, I don't know how much it would cost a team to pick him up.  Is there a capologist here?

With a win tonight the Kings will tie for first place in the Vegas summer league.  I hope they get JT at least 15 shots tonight and have him finish on a high note to get ready for the season.  I realize summer league does not stand for much bit it would mean that the Kings young players are on par or better then the majority of the other teams young players.  Also I would like to publicly wish JT a happy 22nd birthday tomorrow.
