The Knicks makes me sad

Fresh across the wire is that the Knicks and the Warriors just completed a deal to send Jamal Crawford to Golden States for Al Harrington.

Is it just me or does every news story about the knicks involve the words: "disgruntled", "suspended", or "unaccomodating". Some stories about the knicks contain 2 of the three magic words, this story actually has all 3, which is why its so special.
While I am not in full NBA-analyzing-mode yet because its too early in the season, the story makes me sad.
Just a side note, basketball and hockey are sports i enjoy, not nearly as much as baseball and football, but i enjoy them. However, with basketball and hockey, i really dont get psyched about the season and the storylines, and thus dont start really following it, until later in the season. for basketball, its usually right before the all-star break, and for hockey, its usually 2 days after the stanley cup finals end.
Anywhoo, i am really sad whenever i read a story about the knicks, because something bad seems to happen to them every week. Now don't get me wrong, i dont want them to overcome their woes, they suck, i've hated that franchise since John Starks. However, they are clearly the sorriest franchise in sports. While i feel bad for teams like the Kansas City Royals, the Mariners, and the Detroit Lions, i think the Knicks bring more tears to my eyes. And here's why, all the sorry baseball and football teams that have a worse chance at making the playoffs than me winning the lottery and dating Jessica Biel in the same weekend, they have no talent. Their players have low expectations and the thought of just making .500 (or for the lions, winning a game) would be a huge confidence boost. However the knicks have talent that turns cancerous as soon as they enter the Knicks locker room. Management, coaching, and player morale are all highly infected across the board, and i dont see an end in sight.
It really is sad.

also, can anyone answer why every single NBA news story for the past two weeks, without exception, has contained trade rumors about Lebron. He still has 2 years left on his contract, can we really speculate ad nauseum for two full seasons? well, the knicks have no other rays of hope, so maybe thats all they got to talk about.
