if you want a better team- go back before Stat and those moves and be patient and this could very well have been our starting five:
C= Mozgov PF= David Lee SF= Wilson Chandler SG= Iman Shumpert PG= Jeremy Lin
Add little Nate Nutjob to the bench and Danilo 'Always Hurt' Gallinari and you'd have a team that would compete- not to mention keeping our own picks and the cap room we might have had even with this bunch.

In what universe would this team compete for anything?!

That team would actually be pretty good. You put MDA to coach that team and they can definitely get you past the 2nd round at least.

This team would have whittled under big game pressure except Nate Robinson

Exactly, that looks like a .400 team...

Isiah is Dolan, this guy Zeke is a laugh.

That team is no better than what the Lakers have now.

Every move was the result of a previous move. We would never have Lin, for example, in any other scenario.

Seriously. Add to that the injury history Lin, Wilson, and Gallinari and things look even worse.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

True - but then we'd have kept our own draft picks.
Go back further and undo the Eddy Curry trade and add those draft picks: Joakim Noah and LaMarcus Aldridge.
I think I could do this all do long. All of the moves this organization have made us worse, with the minor exception being the prior 2/3 years.
But the 54 wins are not likely to be replicated anytime soon- at least that I see.

Have to think Isiah takes a point guard in the Hill draft. Probably Jennings but maybe he goes draft guru and shocks by taking Holiday. Also, Isiah probably gets a big in the Gallinari draft. Would he have taken Bropez or Hibbert?

i thought the more interesting thing is that Isiah criticized Dolan's sacred media policy ... to me that signals he's not really engaged with the knicks brass anymore.

That was a Dolan move.
When I.Thomas took the,Knicks job he said he wanted to build an east coast version of the MDA/Nash Suns. The Curry trade and the hiring of L.Brown were, IMO, moves that Dolan pushed because he was impatient.
