isiah is in pure survival mode. his legacy as a player is basically tarnished outside of detroit. his players don't like him. the fans don't like him. but he's still cashing his check. gotta love the nba and those guaranteed contracts.

the league needs to have a major strike which results in a hard cap. otherwise expect this downward trend in the quality of the league.

sorry for the tangent, yes, isiah is a douchebag and needs to go.

OK I'll admit that Zeke will have to go but I don't care if they don't like him they are susposed to be professionals. Just play the damn game. They was kiss his a*s when he got all that money for them.This is no excuse for not being a competitor. Curry was a big mistake by Zeke and we can't change it. If the rest of the season keeps going like this lets just go to the lottery it's the only way we are going to get a franchise player. I still question the people Zeke have training Curry. Curry needs to go. Everyone is still making those corner 3s on us with no defense. I just don't want another coach coming in here and we win 33 games and it knocks us out of getting a top draft pick.
We need to end the over the cap crap. If a team wants to spend more money to get a player then let the team do thier thing. To hell with those small markets we are protecting. Let's be like the Baseball league if the Knicks wants to spend let us spend.

he made alot of players alot of money and they basically just tuned him out. in that respect, it's on the players. but he also lost them with his shenanigans with marbury. so that's on isiah. everyone is to blame and i would say 90% or more of the current roster/coaches/gm/front office have to go. but nothing happens until isiah is gone first.

I agree with you more than 70-90% of the roster/coaches need to be overhauled but I don't see what the rush is knowing that this season is lost anyways. Lets wait this season out get a high draft pick and start in a new direction with a solid foundation getting a good GM should be priority not some stop gap GM and coach. Good reseasrch needs to be made and good judgement should be key.

The Knicks have made deals in the past without thinking aboout them and scrutinizing them deeply if anything Isiah should be a learning example of things not to do. Sometimes doing nothing is the best move in the NBA. We should have already learned that, Let the season playout Isiah will be gone eventually and we will be better for it.
