Did I touch a nerve Bip...Bip like lots of people here, you don't think Isiah is the answer and the Knicks should be trying to get to the lottery to get that illusive Franchise player..Am I wrong about that, I could be...Most of your posts are usually lengthy filled with fluff and no clear picture of where you stand...Over the last year you did notice quite often people misquoted you or didn't understand your opinion because you usually don't state it clearly...You are usually on the fence, You usually allow yourself wiggle room on most opinion and post..You know exactly where I stand Bip, I don't play politics with my opinion...All that man/boy, 12 year old stuff is beneath you...Opps, sorry am I trying to state another opinion about you again..
The biggest joke about the Bipster is that he is a broken record. I am happy to admit that sometimes I post the same thing over and over again. Most times it's a joke. It's part of my schtick. How can you ever misconstrue my opinion? Is it because I like somethings and don't like others. Is that why I'm inconsistent. Because in your world everything has to be great?
Holfresh I have never waivered on my opinion once. I do beleive you read the posts of a couple others and attribute it to me. And don't get it twisted I am misquoted by the same 3 people over and over again. The rest don't seem to have a problem understanding where I'm coming from.
Here is how things go down with you and me. You have it in your mind already set what I think about a topic. You quote me, never actually having an exact quote, just something you think you remember me saying. I come on and tell you how I feel and then you think I'm being inconsistent because it doesn't match what you think my opinion is.
So here I will tell you what it is. Put it in a spreadsheet and bring it up the first time I contradict myself.
Isiah-I don't think he is the answer as GM. I have said this a billion times. I don't mind him as coach and think he has gotten exactly what I expected him to get from the team. As a GM I think he has wasted so many moves that I think it's time for him to step aside, coach the team and let a proven builder build the team. Now, find one moment in time where I have contradicted this statement. I've said it so many times, that there is no way possible any human being that is not flaming can get it wrong
Trying to get to the lottery to get that illusive franchise player-Not once have I ever said this either. AS a matter of fact I have said the only thing I want Isiah to do as long as he is GM is stick to a friggin plan. If Eddie is your "franchise guy", build around him with complimentary pieces. Find players that compliment him, a shotblocking big man, a PG that can get him the ball. Again this has been said so many times that there is no way you could miss it. If we are saying that Eddie is not our "franchise guy" than you do everything in your power to find a "franchise guy" whether that is through the lottery, trade, free-agent is irrelevant. You'll notice that in my posts I often put "franchise guy" in quotes because I don't beleive in the franchise guy. I am a coach and beleive in team, so most of the time you will hear me mention CORE. A core is a core group of players that you can build around. So not only do you misquote me, you get my whole philosophy mixed up with someone else.
Honestly holfresh just stop with the nonsense. If you hear me contradict myself, address me at that very moment. Call me out on the actual post. Tell me what I'm saying in that actual post that you disagree with. Stop referring to mythical conversations that you probably had with someone else. Don't call me out a week later with a post somehow quoting soemthing you thought you heard me say a month ago, or what you really think I mean. And if you think I'm wishy washy on topics call me out. Ask me a question. I will tell you exactly how I feel on everything abou the Knicks. If my stance is unclear make a post and ask me what I think. I would be happy to respond. That's what most people on this board do. That's why noone else ever misquotes me. I have no ill will towards you and am just trying to have a conversation with people on this board about the Knicks. I don't care if you don't agree with me. I don't care if I'm wrong at times(we all are wrong at times). I just want to talk Knicks without some guy runnign around posting on other topics what my opinion is. I can speak for myself.
I want a cochesive plan. Find a core and build around it. If that is Eddie Curry than find players that compliment him. If it is not than use all your resources to find a core to build around.
