This is basically an NBA/Knicks forum IMO with Knicks simply in the title. Probably 20 threads per week are NBA threads. Maybe more. King connected the thread to the Knicks pretty clearly anyway

ok- lets just talk about the knicks, and what a crappy bunch of basketball we have to watch, and how correct Dolan was to say New York would not wait for a rebuild and how Isiah was going to rebuild on the fly.

All the while, somehow, unbeknownst to you and Dolan, teams like Utah and Portland somehow - god only knows- are able to rebuild in 2-3 years, and put a competitive team on the court- one that is entertaining.

Yes, lets not talk about what other teams are doing, because doing so only highlights what crap we have to watch.

Bonn are you that dense not to see King's true intentions with this thread? Look he creates these threads for the purpose of conjuring up some Zach bashing b/c then people like yourself and others come out talk about the usual ball-hogging, no defense playing, bad character, bad contract. Usually the back and forth begins and in the end most of us end up agreeing. Because we all realize that basketball is the least of the Knick's organization problems. And that certain actions need to be taken off the court before any corrections on the court can happen.

Thank you Captain Obvious!

I don't know if its Zach bashing as much as its a bash about starphuching-

I don't understand how Marbury comes back, and suddenly, we lose. There is just something in the air that swirls around him.

And thanks for calling me Captain Obvious. I really appreciate that- made my day, in fact!

The threads all have different points of discussion. This one is actually about Portland not just Zach. E-Mail the mods if you have a problem with 3 somewhat related threads in a month.

How about this Bonn explain to me why I or anyone on a Knicks borad should care about the Portland Trailblazers?

4 years ago Portland was a mediocre team, filled with overpaid and underachieving players. They had the highest payroll in basketball and subsequently they were capped out for the foreseeable future, while going nowhere fast.

Now, after gutting their team of all of their overpaid, underachieving and disgruntled players and committing to building through the draft, they have a solid nucleus of a team that can be very good when the Spurs, Suns and Mavs start declining. Good things happen when you have a plan.

The Knicks could have been in that position. But Isiah took a mediocre team and turned it into a complete laughingstock.

It's like 2 people trying to help a crack addict. One person decides they need tough love and rehab to solve the problem. The other decides that they need coddling and more crack. The former isn't guaranteed to work but there's a chance that it will. The latter will never work and only a complete idiot who thinks that he's so much smarter than everybody else would try it.

::Confused:: I thought Chicago was the team that everybody around here got on their collective knees for? Oh well, I guess the next icons and geniuses are just another 20/10 game or multiple win streak game away.
