Trim the fat...I like that but I think Marbury solidified his spot at PG with his recent play. Crawford's injury makes him seem like the reason the Knicks are on their current losing streak. Small Forward is the only question mark with the Q Rich situation. But yea a shot blocker is a must. either that or curry learns how to jump
I think we have to wary about drafting to fix current needs and drafting to fill needs when Curry hits his prime. Too many of us(Isiah included) are making picks and signing free agents based on current team needs(ex: JJ1, Francis and JJ2), and not about building a future team. Every move should be made in regards to building a team of a PG, SG, PF and SF for Eddie Curry 2-3 years from now. Marbs has played great this year but for the majority of the rest of Curry's career he will not be around and since we are a rebuilding team we cannot rebuild based on marbs. It must be built based on what we will look 3 y ears from now. That is true rebuilding. What players compliment your best player. Building based on what this team currently needs is a recipe for a .500 record unless you bring in a star. That's what we've done for the past 7 years. Bring in role players to strengtehn an already mediocre team.
Always remember that Ewing, STarks and Oakey became Shandon, Howard and Spoon. No more targeted role players. Position yourself to get players that will lead you into the future.
