DJ, you are saying Iverson COMLETELY CHANGED after the almost trade, and are of the opinion that there is absolutely no way that can happen to marbury, ignoring all of his quotes to the contrary.
I think we're just sick of you being so negative towards the possibility that the knicks will get better and will contend with the young core we already have in place.
It's like you are not even a knick fan...I hear more optimism from my net's fan friends.
They see a future in Curry, Frye, Crawford, David Lee and Q Rich.
I need a GM that created a championship team in 3 years.
That's what I need...a real comparison. Because all I see is more and more quality Youth coming to the knick roster accompanied by a fat contract that expires at or before marbury's does.
Still not seeing the "worst GM" in the league moniker holding any weight.
MoT is gone next year...so that trade has already come and gone, Jrose came with a pick and he's gone this year, another trade gone and came with youth.
OPEN YOUR EYES!
We have the most young talent in the East. And any argument to the contrary can not be backed up by facts. WE beat the bulls when we only won 23 games. We beat the bucks and we only won 23 games. Who else has youth like ours? Who else has a center as dominant as Curry IS (and you guys think he sucks). Who else has 3 second year players with the talent of Frye/Lee/Nate?
Jackie B is a solid young player...only obtained because Isiah (and his staff) discovered him in the CBA of all places.
I still think JJ has something left, but hey, who cares, he's going be coming off the bench behind Lee and Jackie butler anyway.
Mot, francis, rose, rose, marbury, all come off the cap or will be traded in the next 2 years.
Everyone else is a keeper...
I guess i'm the only one that sees a future in these knicks and the only reason there is a future is because Isiah Thomas is our GM.

one thing of note is that brown had HEAVY say in personnel decisions with billy king and pat croce. so it wasn't like these rosters were thrown upon him.
yup. and he traded Iverson before Geiger stepped in with his no-trade clause before their fabeled trip to the Finals. that Brown sure is a guru.
...and what's the point? did iverson not COMPLETELY change after that non-trade? who's to say he still wouldn't be a problem child if the trade went through? you have got to stop trying to discredit his history. you do not have solid ground to stand on. just stick with this past season...at least there are two valid points of view to that. but arguing about brown's history as a head coach and his success is blatantly one sided.
all kool aid all the time.
