Yeah and sweets needs gastric bypass surgery so I guess they are more or less even.

Bynum, no doubt in my mind! although Jackie is coming along icely. He just doesn't have the upside and size and is more raw

If you're having trouble understanding Isiah's moves, look at the lineup changes he's made:

PG: Ward and Eisley --> Marbury and Nate R
SG: Shandon Anderson --> Q-Rich, Jamal Crawford
SF: Keith Van Horn --> Trevor Ariza, Q-Rich (TT if still on the team), JYD
PF: Kurt Thomas --> Mike Sweetney, David Lee, Malik Rose
C: Dikembe Mutombo --> Channing Frye

It's pretty obvious he's trying to get young, talented, tough high ceiling players. Not every trade has worked out successfully, but if you look at the lineup changes it's clear he's trying to get that type of player.

Look, I am one of Isiah's biggest supporter, but the interest in Walker and Kwame doesn't go well with what he is trying to do. If we can't get a big man like James/Curry/Chandler or Hunter, we need to stand pat and wait until we are able to pay more than the MLE to acquire a real center. I am sorry, but we need to take a year to marinade what we have right now. Minus TT/Penny and Houston, I think that we can do really well with what we will have available.

Guns who will win with your boy, Splitter and Butler?
I keep bothering Guns about Splitter, watch this guy get pick by the Knicks next year.

as for sweets - it's VERY possible that he is getting in shape and very serious about it - that's why, i believe, isiah picked up that option. not for trading purposes b/c he could've still moved him and the other team still had time to pick up the option for a 4th season.

aguirre said their #1 priority with him was changing his body. i think that's why they ain't mad he's not in summer league action b/c getting in shape is more important than playing against peter john ramos.

from what i heard - he's training with curtis martin. how don't know how legit that is but does anybody have an update on him?

sweetney for kwame should not happen.
Q for kwame should.

watch curtis get him down to 260 and the jets sign him as a tight end.

or beef him up to 320 and make him an o-lineman.

So Isiah's hard to understand because some rumors in newspapers don't make sense to you? Maybe the newspaper authors are simply hard to undrestand, not Isiah.

Never has it been made more clear than this illustration...I almost forgot that was our roster...HOOFAH.

It's time to get off Zeke's back...I mean, don't get me wrong, it's New york, and every single move gets analyzed, it's only fare, best city in the world (sorry redsoxfan)

Any other city and he's GM of the year this year...sht, if we make the second round of the playoffs, he's GM of the year this year.

Suddenly, everyone wants to come here...while nobody is willing to take a pay cut yet (I still think Walker is going to do it for the glory, he went to atlanta for the money and nearly committed suicide).

If walker signs for the MLE, we win it all. Take that to the bank.

Holy crap...my optimism is starting to freak ME out too. I need a binger.
all kool aid all the time.

Seriously, did we even hear he was talking to san antonio about their first round picks and Rose? Nate came out of nowhere (was he even interested?) and Q for Kurt...that came out of nowhere as well.

MoT (while everyone hates the guy) was another shocker...heck, have the papers accurately predicted anything he has done?

Maybe crawford, but that was the bulls fault for dragging it on and on and on.

The papers have not predicted one thing (that I can recall)...can someone correct me if I'm wrong.

all kool aid all the time.
