I would agree with you if I knew for a fact that this team was rebuilding, but at this point Im pretty sure that it's just something that isiah said to calm the masses. If you recall Isiah specifically said before this season began that the priority would be on winning games and NOT to developing the youth, I just find it kind of strange that he would change plans so quickly.

also this team doesnt seem to have a real dedication to youth, guys like david lee, and jackie butler play well one game and get DNP the next, I suppose there could be a good reason for this, and I am open to theories, but I for one just dont see how that could happen unless developing our young guys is not a priority.

also there's something about your post that I find kind of strange, you said that the reason the knicks dont win is becuase the organization hasnt been patient yet you said that isiah did the best with what he was given. dont you realize that it was his decision NOT to rebuild when he took over and further sunk this franchise with "win now" moves? I suppose you could say that dolan made him do it like some do, but still, it's obvious from his moves that isiah thomas's plan since taking over the knicks is just to add talent to the roster whenever the oppurtunity presents itself without worrying about the reprucussions or how exactly that talent would be used to win, and hasnt changed that philosophy until a couple of months ago, if even then, if anything that is the opposite of rebuilding, so I dont understand how you could give him a pass and yet say that the knicks should have rebuilt.

oh and another thing to keep in mind is that the fans dont make the moves in the knicks organization, Isiah thomas does, so it kinda doesnt make sense for you to say something like the reason the knicks havnt won is becuase the fans are impatient.
