If David Lee averaged 23 points and 10 rebounds the place would be all over his jock

Forget the personal bias. Zack Randolph can play

D Lee's not making $61 mil over the next 4, & he's a great likeable kid... what's so hard to understand about those of us who don't like this trade? go ahead & be happy w/this current roster, because it's not going to make the playoffs once again & we'll be right back here once again at the end of the year lamenting on our cap situation & why we can't make any FA signings for the next 4 years.

Don't worry Misterearl, some of us have our brains screwed on right. I can't say that I was clamouring for this particular trade, but to think that it doesn't make us better to have Zach here over Frye is ludicrous. 20-10 players at PF are what you want in this league, so what's the problem. PLUS we still have LEE!!!! I mean how can anyone complain about that? Frye couldn't defend anyway, so there's no change there, except Zach and rebound and is a beast offensively. I think we have a better team now after this trade.

Lee's white though.


No?


DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

If Zack plays defense this is a great trade, but we've been down this road trying to make players change their stripes. It doesn't happen. I hope it happens but I'm not holding my breathe.

Added

6'10 Randolph Morris, another yoot to work behind Curry

6'9 Zack Randolph, another walking double-double, and only 25 years old

6'8 Wilson Chandler, who only needs to be inspired to discover his gifts at the next level

Subtracted

Channing Frye, who most despised as soft

Steve Francis, who the rest wanted gone asap

other than pouring haterade, what is the real problem?

Earl whats the last move you didn't like? Have you ever disliked a move made by Isiah? I'm not talking hindsight either. Every single move that is made you are always onboard with, it doesn't matter if we were trading for a ham sandwich you are onboard.

let's trade for Kenyon Martin, Nene, Adonal Foyle, Erick Dampier & Larry Hughes & corner the market on albatross contracts... mine as well make a complete set & call it a day.

is the money a playere makes more important than his contribution to a unit?

TMS - i hear you, but why is Lee so "likable" and Renaldo Balkman is not?

Is Mardy Collins likable?

and I love David Lee

Who are we moving? JJ1 and/or JJ2 for a ham sandwhich? I'm on board with that one.

when have you ever heard me say that Renaldo Balkman isn't likable? he's been 1 of my favorite players since he showed he can play at this level.

please don't even suggest this has anything at all to do with race, ok? you think i'd have been any happier if Isiah had traded for Troy Murphy's albatross contract instead?

nyk4ever - I didn't like the trade of Van Horn because i felt Keith never received fair treatment at his previoius stops by being unfairly labelled.

Van Horn was what he was.

I cringed at the Steve Francis trade because I liked Trevor Ariza.

Does that help?

Misterearl, the dislike of Randolph comes from the fact that he's awful defensively just like Eddy (0.7 blocks COMBINED), he's a potential personality disaster and our original plan was to get under the cap for the 2009 offseason and try to sign a top 10 NBA player (even though it was unlikely). Zack has a massive contract.

Talent-wise, we won on this trade. Francis wasn't being utilized (although he still has something left in the tank) and couldn't work with Marbury. Frye was underperforming and needed a change of scenery. Let alone I never thought he was that good to start with. So, on offense, Zack and Eddy are going to be absolutely dominant in the post. I have a LOT of worry about the defense and about leadership, but on paper, we improved. I'm not predicting a big improvement because the game isn't played on paper and I think there's going to be locker room issues. I think we'll win somewhere around 38 games because I think the other dynamics will cause issues. Reasonable?
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I'm sure you were on here saying how much you hated them when they happened. I'm sure you spun it in your usual way: "If Isiah made the trade, it's great."

well then explain what you were getting at then citing examples like Balkman & Mardy, when i've gone on record several times in the past saying those are 2 of the guys i don't want to see traded from this team because i love the way they play.
