if we wanted size, we should have drafted Bynum then...this is what doesn't make sense when you look at the moves Isiah makes...he says he wants to get younger & more athletic & then brings in guys like Malik, Mo T, Vin, Moochie & JJ...then he says he wanted size for the frontcourt, & passes up Bynum in the draft...what the hell is this guy doing? does anyone know? i sure as hell can't figure it out.

Here are yoiur answers:
Malik - forget about him. He balanced the #'s. The trade was Nazr for 2 #1's. Great trade IMO.
Vin - The gamble was that the heart surgery would correct Vin's physical problems. Actually a pretty reasonable gamble on a 6'11" inside scorer who just the previious season had given 14 or 15 and 7 in Boston before falling apart.
Moochie - that was a psyche move. Get Fatspoon's worthless ass out of here immmediately and shut up all the whiners who insisted that every one of Laydog's mutts was untradable.
JJ - We need a guy of his size. Period.
Frye over Bynum - IT convinced he's the better player with a better future and that we could add a guy of Bynum's size via FA signing, which we did. Frye could very well end up the better player.
MoT - easy explanation. IT experimented with crack.
