I really don't know what the heck you ladies are blathering about. It's been common knowledge what the Knicks Cap situations was and when they'd likely be in a better cap position. EVERYONE knows the Knicks will be out from under the huge Contracts in 2 years. That doesn't change anything. I always felt the Knicks would look to that point in time to worry about deals that require cap space. They basically have no choice, but to wait for that.
in the meantime, as far as the roster is concerned, it's business as usual. We've been operating under the same rules for 3 years. We look for talent in the same ways we always have. The difference is that we've already added a lot of the talent we need. Just because the team is currently having some issues, doesn't change the reality that this team has a nice talent base. Are we any less talented than any of the other young up and coming teams? We've done well in adding talent over the last 2 offseasons. We now have fewer needs than we did 2 years ago.
We already have an idea of what kind of players this team needs. That doesn't mean that we MUST fill that need with an All Star. By the way, it's very difficult to make deals for those kinds of players unless a team is practically giving one away. If they're really playing well most teams elect to KEEP their stars. There has to be some sort of problem with the player or the team is giving up on it's current course. You just never know when a team is ready to make that kind of change, so the Knicks will wait and see what develops.
So we draft well, look for good FA's and continue to develop our current players. Nothing has changed.
Nothing has changed? The only trades Isiah made were taking on massive amount of over bloated contracts.
If that is to stop, it is a HUGE CHANGE from the Modus Operendi.
BTW, NO ONE in the organization ever even SPOKE of getting under the cap until now. THey were saying
that you don't get franchise caliber talent with free agent signings. Please stop your Pollyanna ramblings.
Precisely. Plus, it's really not until 2010 that we'd have cap space and that requires that we wouldn't resign some of the very youth Gruenwald says they're building around.
Here's a little challenge: what team in the league doesn't have capspace available 4 years from now in 2010?
And nixluva, we all know that the day we trade for some overpriced "stud" or project that remotely fills a need you'll tell us how you knew it was part of the plan all along and capspace was never relevant for this team.
LOL @ this thread but more importantly LOL @ this MOTHA F N POST........That's CHECKMATE Blueseats. We're going to need some pallbearers for this one.
