The Isiah way is to hope that you can use the MLE and other teams overvaluing our one dimensional role players in the trade market.
The way i see it, the team we had during the Layden daze was never going to be bad enough to finish consistently in the bottom 5 but never good enough to be more than an 8 seed.
And so you make fun of the Isiah way, when your way is what? Keep the four draft picks we used on Curry and Marbury? Who then does the drafting? The knicks had been the worst drafters pre-Isiah. We'd have nobody the other team would have to think about double-teaming and we'd end up slowly getting worse and worse. A fate worse than death.
Or maybe your way was to blow it all to pieces. The only GOOD alternative approach was to blow everything up We would have more talented youth than just if we had kept the same old team. But we never got to see that alternative and thats not Isiahs' fault. I believe Isiah was brought it to make the team exciting again, not necessarily to be a bottom-feeding dreg for three years.
Anyone can GM the blow-up. Why was Isiah hired then? Answer: Dolan never wanted to blow everything up.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
