This is so ridiculous. First of all, the Knicks did improve themselves with the two picks, which were solid ones. They may seem like a wash if you think they were made only to let Lee and Nate go, but that would be as shortsighted as most of you are proving to be with your posts.
This isn't Layden or Isiah managing for the Knicks, this is Donnie Walsh, a great basketball mind that knows what he is doing and has proved it so far. Would he let Lee and Nate go for nothing? Of course not, he isn't an idiot. He'll look to get a sign and trade done in that case and GMs dealing with him will accept it because what many seem to be still missing here is that Donnie isn't a laughingstock in the NBA, but a very respected executive.
Would the trades we've already done have happened if it was another guy? They were even impossible in your minds, as no sane GM would've acquired the players we gave up for expiring contracts. But it happened and it will keep happening until the Knicks get where they want to go.
But why showing confidence and hope on a management that has proved enough times already that they have a plan and are going to work hard to get it done? Why, if they have just made great deals thought impossible already? Its always better to predict the end is coming, since its easier to be negative.
