If Isiah couldn't draft we would be the worst team in the league right now, because every trade he has made his been a huge failure. I fully expect him to get an impact player late in the draft, but one thing is very clear: Picks 21, 30, 29. Thats what any real fan with half a brain should be excited about Balkman, Collins and Lee all of shown real promise and each one of them needs to be starting next year if the team stands as is. You can throw in Eddy's offensive talents because those are special but will he committ? Crawford stunk this year you can't be a .500 player every game you play, Jefferies is the worst starter in the NBA, Jerome is never in shape, Francis is a tremendous problem as is nates immaturity, not taking losses hard enough nate is the prime suspect judging how proud he is of himself. Frye is god awful. And we have to pray Marbury and Richardson are healthy to be effective. We are looking up at three teams right now, Bulls, Orlando, and Toronto all of which Isiah has put into the playoffs. The Bulls are getting better and are going to beat our asses for the next 10 years and improved again thanks to Isiah. Eddy Curry is not that good, if he was as some posters brought up we would have won more than 32 games with him and Marbury having their best pro seasons. In realty curry marginaly improved his rebounding thanks to his increased minutes took over 400 more shots than he did in any previous season, is the worst shotblocking, rebounds center in basketball and isn't even as good as Al Jefferson at this point. And we gave up the 2 and 5th selections in the draft. If your happy with Eddy who is hurt that he didn't make the allstar team, calls out skiles for his comments, and are expecting him to lead the knicks to victory. We need to expect the following teams to make huge improvements next year and will be in the playoffs: Bobcats: Okafur, Wallace, May, Felton, cap room and a nice selection. (Will finish the year 3-1 against us) Boston: If they get Odom or Durant they are in the playoffs with an emerging core of Rondo, Jefferson and Greene (We have an a nice core as well with lee, collins, and balkman) Teams we will be fighting hard with for the 8th spot Bucks: will recieve a top three pick and have cap room to play with, more decimated by injuries this year than the knicks Hawks: we always have a world of trouble with them, but look for them to do something stupid like sign speedy claxton or take a player they don't need in the draft. If they get a top three selection we are in trouble I am just having a hard time looking at the teams right now in the playoffs that we will overtake other than Orlando.
