Damn if this isn't one of the most painful memories in Knicks history.
Well, hey, this is what happens when you trade Mark Jackson, the adored local kid/Rookie of the Year/All-Star for Charles Smith, a bust who averaged 11.1 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in the playoffs that season. Three years later, Smith was playing for the CBA's Florida Beachdogs.
Make all the excuses you want about how Smith was fouled--by the way, what about the no-call on John Starks traveling six seconds earlier?--but the reality is he shouldn't have even been in that situation. The Knicks should have never traded for him.
