Disaster. We have the most tweeners in the entire league now. GREAT.

Nate Robinson... my god. Unbelievable. Not a bad player, very exciting, but not a player that will help us win.

Im not total pleased with the draft but to say that Nate Robinson wont help us just doesnt make sense. The best athlete in the draft. Defensive beast. Plus he has three point range. Height is overrated

I think height is underrated. This is basketball. Tell me one team that wins a championship without height! We don't have ANY height. We used the #21 pick on a guy who won't get more than 8 mpg. It makes ZERO sense.

Suns are trying to win one with all 6'9" guys and under.

Amare is 6'10"... and they didn't win one.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Height? a 6'11" C who blocked 2 shots a game in college should help. Marbury and Q play a lot bigger than their height too. Marbury fiercely attacks the basket and gives you 7 Free throws a game. Q rebounds like a forward and is probably stronger than most PFs.

Considering our past conversations, I know that you prefer to go by players' heights without shoes on. Amare is 6'8 1/2" without shoes.

I figured Bonn would be 1 of only guys being so happy with this very underwhelming draft. I'm not a fan of frye. Nate doesn't fit on this team. Lee is a role player. Nothing great.

Guys - height is the ADVANTAGE for a player like Robinson. As in Earl Boykins, who was almost 6th man of the year? A guy like this can wreak HAVOC on the court!

And it's also disadvantage when crawford and robinson are on court and both guards post them up all day.

Boykins is a legit PG. He has great handle. Robinson biggest weakness? Ballhandling. He's a 5'9 SG. Boykins was fine on Nuggets because of the frontline of Camby,Nene and K-Mart to back him up. Who do knicks have? 5 undersized pf's and 1 rookie? Can't compare them.

IMO..Nets got the best player outta both teams in Antonie Wright.

Couldn't have said it better myself. On a different team, Nate makes sense. On the Knicks, it's very accurately called a "bold" (meaning stupid) move.

That's okay, though, I'm sure we can win any midget league now, though.

Even Chad Ford gave Isiah a very high grade for last night. I think the only people giving him a low grade are the people in the group of you, Simrud, Islesfan, who will never give him a high grade on anything.

Bonn, so let me get this right.

when Chad ford agrees with you then he is a pure unadulterated genius but when he disagrees with you then he is an flat out idiot, correct?

okay just checking
