Briggs was not in on the negotiations and projecting that we could have given lee instead of the pick is just speculation.
One would have to project that with curry we are better and not a bottom 5 team.
I said at trade time it was a silly fact that thw worse the trade is for us, the better the pick! Should be the other way around.
The other thing is we had to give the bulls somthing! Sweets is a nice player, but so far nothing special.
We all new it would be rough going early on, and Brown and Marbs would clash at some point. We all knew as did the media that Brown would complain about his squad and Isiah will have to go out and get him a point guard.
We are 4-9 with a tough schedule early on. Can we still get the 8th seed? 69 more games to go! Think its possible? Remember some thought it would be february before things started to click?
We got A rookie starting at the PF and kicking ass! We got a 22 year old large center who can still give us a nice post presence! We got the best point guard in the league trying very hard to conform and showing signs of improvement, and we have rookies getting heavy minutes.
I'd say things are about where they should be!
ONe thing Isiah must be dissapointed in: That Jones kid from the Pacers who landed on the Suns! Kid can shoot! IN contrast, Q has been a dissapointment.
I like that larry uses many line ups and 11-12 players. I like that Butler has gotten minutes even though by default to Lame James and Curry.
This team is still a mess, but the upside is apparent! Be Cool!
I believe 100% the Knicks bid against themsleves again. No one has the cahones to tell the truth, they will always lIE to make themsleves look better. No tem wanted eddie curry because he had a possible heart ailment and could NOT get insurance--thats a big key. this beguiling jargin about eddie being pick 1 in the draft, its ludicrous. I like getting eddie curry, but we had the bulls by the scrotum. We bent over backwards where we shouldnt have--rich is atleast sensible and I would be reasonable with that--the drafts SHOULD NOT be unprotected for the enxt two years--no way, no how. The company line that eddie is worth the pick is stupid, because NO one wanted eddie--we gave them assets they WERE not going to get otherwise. So you want to be fair and fair value wouldve ben sweetney and Lee or Sweetney and 1 protected pick---obviously they wanted lee and we had to turn the deal upside down to get chicago to capitulate. If you remember back I didnt like it the minute I heard the news that we gave to much in a sense that chicago wasnt getting it form anyone--remember ANY team UNDER the cap couldve simply signed eddie for NO compensation--thats the gig you arent getting--but these teams choose not to--so why are we overpaying for him--scream at me--briggs you fool if we make the playoffs, but if we are the 3rd pick in the draft this year and 7 next year---like elmer fudd said be vvvvewwy quiet
Silly Wabbit.
Briggy, your having a robotic hissy fit. Last nite you were right! If its about being right,then your gonna ride the rightous bi-polar rollercoaster!
Its kinda old to see a loss and then you jump up an down stating that you were right. All of 13 games into the season. Being right is not what all of this is about. and starting a new thread every time you want to pontificate a point is not cool.
If you not at all with any imagination then you can extrapoliate the rest of our season and just say we will win only 26 games? Is that it? We never gonna improve this season? If so, then go with it and say we should not have do the trade at all. I don't know what you predicted at seasons start before or after we got curry.
I think that the thinking was Curry makes us better, and a low playoff team at best. Thats not a lottery pick.
Your assuming it was Lee Or our no. 1 pick. Or was it our no. 1 pick AND Lee? And are your really sure you have all the facts straight?
Isiah took a GAMBLE, a calculated risk. Either you liked the deal at the time or not. But to complain after a blow out (not after a win), and after a few games Eddie did not play is kinda reactionary.
So if you think we are headed for a 26 win season with Eddie, then we should have not done this deal at all! That is perhaps the true question.
Quite frankly I don't know why we swapped Gazy for Antonio?
yeah, you're right. We have the next Tim Duncan, the next Shaq, the best PG in the nBA, a back up C who is going to put up double doubles, Tom Chambers--i mean David Lee the best coach, the best GM, the highest payroll-- we dont need no stinkin picks[in my best tony montana]
