low risk, high reward move..... great for houston..

We just can't get anything done.


Oh What joy watching everyone else get better or at least make moves that gives them options and flexibility with very low risk.

were you really expecting any moves? really? I mean I read where Isiah was trying not to dump salary, but get players.. LOL.. he is an *******... all he is trying to do, is win enough games, so that he can brainwash our dope owner into thinking this shytstain of a team has a chance next year.. He would spin it on the injuries to marbury and zach and curry not meshing. Isiah is not tying to build for the future, he is trying to desperately win 30 games this year, so he can dick slap dolan into keeping his sorry ass around.. **** Isiah and **** this ****ing team...

Gerald Green is one guy that I've wanted all year long. I'm disappointed we couldn't have done a deal like this for him.

Well if he's trying to make the playoffs obviously he needed to make a trade or at least work the phones harder than any GM to strike a deal. Just from discussions alone should have led to gleaning a trade unwarranted. Honestly do you believe Mchale called up the Rockets to get Snyder and their second round pick or vice versa? They probably called each other or got got called in from a different team about different players which led to the Green trade. I mean come on we have two guys working the phones here, WTF is Grunwald doing? Uh you're right what am I thinking they aren't getting called but instead getting hung up on when they make them.

See this is what I don't understand about some posters. One minute you think Isiah failed because he didn't make a move. Yet every trade he's made at this point most people have panned. So what exactly is different about this trading deadline from the others in which Isiah screwed up with trades?

Bitty this trade is like swapping the lint in your pocket for someone else's lint. No Risk whatsoever. You can't even compare a trade like this to say the Curry trade we made with Chicago.

I agree with you, and I didn't want Isiah to make any deals, but a deal like this is a must. You get a kid who has the chance to be a good player, and if all pans out a spectacular player, simply because he has out of this world athletic ability... if all it took was fred jones and a future first, then you do the got damn trade.... Instead, Isiah is trying to make these ass backwards deals that adds more salary to this toilet bowl called the NY knicks.... I don't get it with him, I just don't... did anyone even bother to tell this ass that the playoffs were over for him two months ago?

Really? I think at some point people need to start asking how good is this kid. I mean really, all they managed to get was a 2nd round pick and a 9th man off the bench?

It's the type of trades.

Some GMs use common sense when brokering a trade and have a reasonable sense of balance. Isiah, on the other hand, simply goes all in against the house, which rarely works in the long run. If Isiah made these kinds of trades, he'd get props. He's never made a good trade, so he gets bashed.

Thats my point how many times do Knick fans have to see Isiah make terrible trades before we realize that he is incapable of making any solid trades. If you acknowledge this then why want anymore trades at this point from Isiah?

I don't want Isiah to make trades, for that very reason, so we're in agreement. At the same time, it's fair to criticism him for being oblivious, after all his failures, to what the smart moves would be. Also disappointed that nobody else in our organization has a clue.

I don't think it's a guarentee or anything that he ends up being halfway decent, but I think there he has a solid chance. I don't know if he had a poor attitude or what when he was in Minnesota but when you watch this kid play (when he does get time) you see some solid potential. I just think he needs some burn and some solid coaching.
