Which is why it PAINS me that we had opportunites to get Artest and VC.......they wouldve complimented EC nicely...
Once again proof that Isiah has no vision. He finds out a guy's available, he gets him.
He's like a spoiled child that wants all the dolls.
ie: Sue Ellen on Arthur.
NO GM can have a Vision for a team until he get's his franchise player or at least the guy closest to that. You can try and put together a good team but in terms of a style of play you have to start somewhere with a player that has certain strengths you can build around. Centers are the easiest type of player to build a team around because if you get a somewhat dominant one, you have a key advanatage inside for a high % offense. Then you just fasion the team around that Center.
We've only just begun the process. It couldn't have started without having Curry FIRST. Then any following moves are determined once you know what you've got. We know that we need strong PF's and he's obviously still trying to provide that, by adding Morris it's clear he's looking for someone with more of a power game, than Frye, Lee or Jared has. This year he'll likely go perimeter or maybe he'll add yet another PF who can defend. In any event the team DOES make sense if you look at what we have and what Isiah's been looking to add. This team is much closer to being setup for playing with Curry as the focal point than it looks. Part of the problem is the continued growth of our young players and developing more chemistry as a team.
If Frye comes in and plays up to his abilities that would've helped a lot. The same goes for Jared. With both having an off year it only serves to make things look like isiah has done a bad job. But Frye could just as easily have been on his game this year and things would look much different. Let's give this more time.

I personally believe a brick and mortar approach and staying the course will pay the most dividens.
