NY Daily News
"Team sources contend that Brown endorsed the trades for Jalen Rose and Steve Francis only to quickly sour on both high-priced players, which infuriated Dolan. The Knicks' thinking appears to be that since it's impossible to trade a majority of the players that Brown doesn't want, they will simply change the coach."

Even with this quote, I'm sure these Brown Supportors will still find a way to blame Isiah (and only Isiah) for those two transactions.

As a matter of fact, Even if I was able to produce the actual list of players Brown gave to Isiah, The pen he used to write the list (with finger prints) a video tape of him writting the list, A video cassett recording of him telling Isiah he wanted those players, A photo of him with list in hand, a Drawing, confirmation from his wife, a police statement, and two eye witnesses dressed as Nunn's......you guys still will aquit Brwon of all charges.......

Isiah made the trades. If Isiah didn't like them, he's a yes man. If he liked the trades, then he's an idiot. Either way, he's equally at fault, if not at more fault.

This doesn't surprise me if true--it's certainly consistent with quotes from Brown.

Brown Said During Francis' Press Conference That He Nagged Isiah To Get Francis Once He Saw He Was Available. I remember this vividly......

People say things all the time. Do you really think that Larry Brown is going to sit at the podium during a press conference to announce they just acquired a player and bash him?

Isiah has continously told us fans lies, yet you don't seem to hold him accountable for that.

Well, I hear people saying they think Zeke should get him his players, so I don't get it.

If he doesn't get him the players he wants he's inept. If he gets him the players he wants he's inept.
If he gets his own players, he's inept. I think I get it now.

As minister of propoganda nothing that is "leaked" by the office of Isiah has validity.

IN fact, its got salary cap extension with draft picks written all over it.

Did Larry endorse it, very well could be.

Coaches coach. Larry sucked at that, but roster construction is all Isiah.

Do you get that most of the players he wants, suck?

Brown wanted guys like Ratliff, Patterson and Miles. Miles even told us there was deal on the table that fell thru at the 11th hour. In the wake of that isiah probably told brown "our deal fell thru, but we think if we can collect more assets, like rose's expiring contract, a draft pick and francis we'd be in good shape to score a KG or jermaine for next year. You willing to go that route?" to which brown said he was.

That's what endorsing a deal means. It means someone else presents it to you and you co-sign it.

"He flexed a real hard juice card, I know that," Marbury said. "So he definitely made me aware of what he can do. But that doesn't scare me at all."

Marbury's salary would make him difficult to trade, anyway. Brown said he wants Marbury to return, "if he'll buy into what we're trying to do."

Nalod, man you are one stubborn dog. Despite everything Brown, Thomas and Marbury said you will give Brown the benefit of the doubt.
