They were never leading us anywhere different.
It's good Zach plays well for Memphis and Crawford for Atlanta but they didn't put up wins here as our top 2 players. With their contracts we couldn't build a team around either. So they had to go. They also aren't as good as everyone is now salivating over.
You didn't see enough to understand those five guys weren't winners?
I guess not.
Don't worry guys. We can sign them all to the max in 2011 and let the 28 win seasons roll in. Then just fire coach after coach when they do so.
Never said I liked Hill or Jeffries. And Nate was good to trade. I did like Zach. I did like Crawford. I do like Lee. And I never liked Eddie Curry.
I said 2 years ago, I would have traded Eddie C. and Jeffries, and more recently Nate, and Hill.
Zach, since coming to NY has been a good player. MDA was even surprised on how good he was playing; how he came into camp in shape, ready to play; how he picked up on the new system; and how he was well-behaved he was and he stayed out of trouble.
And commented above, we trade our good players and receive much less value in return.
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
