HardCore is showing his tough ignorant opinion that he believes if he talks tough with no substance, its valid.
Or The fact that Laydog had anything to do with it must make it a "Utah" thing.
First off, dollar for dollar, the Jazz do things right. They are economical and get more wins dollar for dollar. In that market with their economics, they beat us silly. In our market with seemingly unlimited cash, we suck.
Thomas has stated 4 people he respects have told him to blow it up and start over, and he is not buying it yet. Some of you should be concerned over this. I take it his statement is to evaluate every asset here and see if it can be tweeked and rebuild on the run. I think Laydog was content to let it take 3 years, but Dolan wants more of sense of urgency. Thats cool, and thats the fire under the players arse these days.
Dolan needed to rid of Laydog and remove the attachments he had on roster moves like anderson and Eisley. Bring in coaches to work with lampe and Sweet. And bring it on faster. NBA is not a developmental league and you can't stack it with many projects. These guys get paid big bucks. Lampe wanted to come there, then he must work even harder. Sweet wants to be a professional player, he must shake his pain and move forward.
Thomas brings a sense of urgency, and the ability to not bank the franchise on Dice.
My posts of days past urged either trade or let Dice walk, build thru youth, and do somthing with Ward NOW! I also wanted spots open to get flexibilty and bring rookies on the roster Those suggestions are hardley being Laydogs boy, is it HardCORE.
and you can accuse me of being in Dolans corner now which is fine. He made a tough choice in firing Laydog mid year and give him some room to buy out FatSpoon. Cutting FatSpoon a 15mil buy out is not easy for any owner.
Of course its a freaking shame this team got to such ignorant levels either by the sword of Dolan, Checketts, Grunfeld and of course Laydog. But As I said then, and now, nothing happens until you change your philosphy. Then you can admit and see what is wrong and begin the process to correct it. As a reminder, I had rooted for Laydog to impliment such a strategy.
Apparently thus far, firing Chaney was not the instant move it appeared.
We are far from being out of the woods on this one, but Trashing Euros as soft is stupid.
In fact, Milos made the right decision faced with the circumstances. And I don't think Laydog was stupid to cave into some heavy demands until Milos proved himself at the highest level in Europ, which he is doing after moving from his former team. With ward leaving this year at some point, it made sense. Milos can opt out this year, but if not, has to stay 2 more. Laydog figured Eisley would be his starter, and this year Frank gets developed, which was happening by the way. Laydog is stubborn and needed to make that move sooner. But The plan should be to have Frank, Milos and Veteran Eisley next year if we can't rid ourselves of Howard. I think Eisley can play better and take away his comfort assurances of playing time, he might either play up or drop down. Milos if does not come has two more years in europe at 2 mil each. if he does not come this year it is most likely he is not NBA quality, and his trade value is lowered. If we trade him now, we don't get good value if he turns out well, but we get a little something if he fails.
We need to take risks, and milos was only a second round pick. This pick was applauded as a good move by many NBA scouts and GM's. We don't want to get fleeced or trade away a future asset to make the playoffs short term.
Drazen, Dirk, Parker, Manno, AK47m, Vlade, Sabonis and other dudes I
can't spell have more than made their mark on this league. Its going global Hardcore, and either you embrace it or sound like all the racist pigs whom resisted integration oh so many years ago. Racism works both ways, and your tones speak loud. Nobody here ever suggested that the knicks, with a black president, a black head coach, and the majority of the squad also black, suck because of race. But its been more than suggested that white Utes of KVH and Doleac,and Laydog were the roots of our problems (Non are morman, KVH from California,Laydog from NYC,) . Even Dolan being a White owner and that P-diddy, Jay-Z or Magic Johnson would be better owners has been suggested. Never a consideration of how the bloated salary structure, depleted revenue streams, and how to service the huge debt ever is mentioned! Details details. Easy to blame the problems, hard to fix them.
Knicks problems have notihng to do with race, or nationality. There was evidently a big riff in management and a GM whom was a bad hire from the get go. Kudos for Dolan for taking a step in the right direction, and kudos for ridding our team of human garbage such as spree!

O.k. I´m very proud for being a "stupid" euro, and what kind of serbs are soft???? Divac? Drobnjak? c´mon you need some lessons.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don´t be able to talk about all the american people like you about the europeans but in your case I can say that you must close your mouth about basket ´cause is probed that you haven´t any intelligent idea. People like you or Rudy Tomjanovich (the world loser, even spain beat the U.S.A. in Indianapolis) are a cancer for the basketball.
