He consistantly outplays Q, Taz and Jeffries in practice proving that he is our best SF right NOW... not the player with the most potential to be our best SF if he plays and develops.

Its clear 2 melately

Dolans rule = win the game TODAY even if you have 2 sacrifice the future.

You will never see isiah commit 2 a player in the hope of him developing for the future. He doesent think the NY fans will stand for it and I don't think he's allowed 2 do it by order of the DOLE.

So my advice 2 wilson is start treating practice like its a game and force zekes hand

Wilson annual contract has to pay more than Q, Jeff or Taz to get playing time. We play based on pay. Come on now you know that.

he won't play until Isiah can dump Q or Jefferies' contracts on some other team.

"dump contracts on some other team"... Hmmm
Usually other teams dump contracts on Isiah...

The best Zeke can do for us now is help us get that number one pick. Pratically everyone I talk to want Zeke to be gone. Dolan probably does also but what is the difference? Dolan wants him to suffer just like the New York fans. 25 million dollar he gets and he is set for life. Dolan will not make it easy. Why should he play Chandler and he just might help us win some games and that might not be good.

How do you know this? Are you allowed to watch practice?

Read the topic subject... he will not start UNTIL he outplays them in practice.. He has 2 glaringly be our best option right NOW otherwise I don't see him playing

He won't start untill he makes more money than Jeffries and Quentin.

i read that brandon tierney (who does the knicks pre/post game on espn radio) said that apparently chandler is not bringing it in practice. that's why he's not playing.

meaning he's not playing hard? isn't in shape? or that he's just playing poorly?

weren't there questions about his "motor" pre-draft?

In the games I have seen him play, he seems to play hard. This kid is the only 2 way SF on the team. Q is too short and has lost his shot. Balkman and Jeffries have size but cannot shoot. This kid can play defense, shoot, has size, and can block shots. If he is not playing hard in practice, then the coching staff needs to be riding him to make sure he understands that he can play if he brings it in practice. I would like to see this kid get 10 minutes a game on a consistent basis.

Maybe Chandler really isn't that good???

Isiah reached 2 years in a row drafting him and Balkman like he did and it's biting him in the ass, neither should have been a 1st round pick.

Why people assume Chandler is going to be good is beyond me. Isiah got teh Ariza pick right and his people talked him into Lee, but he got every other pick wrong. I don't expect Chandler to be good because no one else thought he was a first rounder.

Jay Bilas had no problem w/the pick when Isiah took him in the 1st round... if he wasn't that good he wouldn't have been touted at all.

He wasn't touted at all until the rumor mill had Isiah reaching for him. All the reputable mocks had him as a mid-second rounder until another Isiah reach was rumored. Then he got bumped up because the mocks like to get it right, and that's how they're measured... he wasn't pegged as first rounder due to undeniable talent.
