You know what, I don't care either..It's either Isiah's or Marbury's fault...That what most posters are up to these days..don't let me stop you...go right ahead....you won't hear a peep out of me....sorry to interrup..
one question holfresh, if it's not steph's fault, (btw i NEVER said it was steph's fault), then is this a case again of a GM not surrounding steph with enough talent to be successful? a case again of a GM not giving steph complementary players to accentuate his game? or do you think that we have the right pieces around steph and lb totally misused them?
for the record, steph is steph. he's always been steph and nothing has changed since his days in minny. he is what he is and isiah knew what he was when he brought him here. i don't blame steph for anything. i lay blame on the guy that brought him here without a plan.
My point is it's much bigger than Steph and Isiah...How can a GM be expected to put it all together in 2 years given the salary cap issues and the roster that Isiah met here...How is it possible? If you are really trying to be fair...Steph has played the best of any Knick this season, and now this debacle is his fault...OK you don't blame Steph...We went wrong with the signing of Larry Brown...Larry wants vets and will trade all the rooks we have...Ariza and Nate are done with the Knicks..Look for another rook to go in the off season and possibly draft picks...Then you blame Isiah...What is tha about...You complain about the direction of the team but say nothing about Larry Brown..
The pink elephant in the room is Larry Brown...No one will talk about it...Larry is done in 3 years...The players lost respect for him already...No player with any value will sign here as long as Larry is coaching this team...Steph is now trying to get traded and I don't blame him...To me, it seems like having Larry being here is more important than this organization building with young talent...
Marbs is not the kind of talent that you surround a team with...No point guard is...He is a piece of the puzzle...The things is, guards like Marbs don't grow on trees...It took the Knicks 30 years to get a guy like Marbs...30 years...Marbs pouts, yes, Marbs complains, yes but I don't blame him, Larry has took what seemed to be a good thing and turned it sour...Larry gets a pass in this town...
Even you, are trying to pin trades on Isiah that Larry wanted...All posters here is saying Isiah should give the coach what he wants..When he does, you blame him...amazing...Larry time has passed with this team, the players are not playing hard for him, he throws them under the bus whenever he gets the chance...
If you are going to point fingers, point it in every direction...Not just at one or two guys..
