The larger issue is how good can the Knicks be for the next two years. As of now, the ceiling isn't that high.

dude...maybe mo t just can't play van gundy defense?

In our scheme, we need scoring from down low...we've got strong defenders at every position but PG and Center.

We have scoring from every position (heaven forbid TT continues to give us atleast 12 - 15 points)

Moochie was a waste, seriously, as was Vin Baker. We can get Mo that could blossom in our system. Have any of you seen him play for the knicks yet? You've seen Vin and you've seen Moochie, (some of you call him Coochie).

So, we have 8 million on the bench, who cares?

It worked for Houston.

And he might be good...he averaged 11 points a game, his only knock is that he doesn't play Van Gundy like defense...Who really does? Van Gundy shipped out Stevie Franchise...his coaching style is not the same as Herb's, so hey...you never know...I don't remember sweetney lighting it up under chaney...let's see how bad he is before we start calling for isiah's head.

The reason they keep implying that it was a three team deal because you guys want to throw the baby out with the bath water.

Isiah gets us 2 first round draft picks and a solid defender and we have 12 pages of how the Mo trade blew.

As much as I try to stay away from this board, I keep coming back and every other post sounds like a fan, while others just seem bored or are layden-shocked.

Mo can't play defense...could Vin or Moochie? We still two expiring contracts and 2 first round picks next year. What, you guys wanted to trade ALL OF THE CONTRACTS in one year? I like the every year we are player mentality.

So, mo can't play van gundy style defense...so what. If he can collect fouls and put the ball in the basket, he's more than worth the 9 million.

Sht...Okur get's paid about $12 million and he sucks in Utah. We actually got a good deal...and for those that thought we could get something better for nazr...you obviously have not been reading this board...Rose is an upgrade in all aspects...hustle, defense, offense and heart.

Mo is good. Trust me. He was a starter pre-van gundy. (is this true, I'm guessing on this fact )

Thank you, someone else who sees this the same way myself and gunsnewing does.

Let me say this, TT is more of a man than H20. And he is not injured, it is chronic condition that does not get better, it hurts him to play. Either play or retire.

A big difference from not feeling 100% and not capable of performing.

Stop with "THE PLAN"

Under the current CBA, all GMs navigate as best they can.

THE PLAN, if there were a God, would be to unload Allan Houston for a second rounder.

Plan B is to improvise.
