Finestrg wrote:Awesome...Michael Washington??? They're kidding right? What's so special about this guy? His numbers were subpar (he showed noticible regression from his junior year and definitely took a step backward as a senior) not to mention that Razorback team was terrible this season...I just can't believe the lack of focus, aggressiveness, creativity & talent evaluation along with the willingness to sit on their hands and do next to nothing during one of the most crucial periods in this team's history. MONUMENTALLY DISAPPOINTING...I mean seriously, I don't know what to F-in say dudes...I'm at a complete loss. They are not operating like a team that wants to pull itself out of the huge hole they're in..I had a plan mapped out in my mind on how they should proceed this off-season and they haven't even come close to it in any way, shape or form yet....Now hearing that they may not have traded into the first round because they want to conserve the money to "make a respectable offer to Earl Barron." Are you kidding me?!?! Earl Barron did OK for us last year but he's absolutely the last thing we should be thinking about right now. This dude wasn't even the best big in the d-league last year that we could've called up at the time...This team just never does the right things to help themselves improve..It's embarrassing how poorly run we are, soup to nuts...Man I'm heartbroken so far.

Many think the owner of the knicks wants to turn things around from the Isiah era...I think not !

I do believe he wants to get back some of the money he lost from the Isiah era , BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT !

The moves shows their is a pattern to keep lowering the expectations of this franchise year after year.

Fans are in denial, they thinks these moves are so great when there is no clear sign we want talent that will win instead of the right type of players the coach can get along with.

NBA Comparison: Clifford Rozier

Strengths: Four-man with a bevy of talents ... Has long arms (7-foot plus wingspan) and plays with a lot of energy ... An absolute vacuum cleaner on the boards as he is willing to sacrifice his body at all times and shows a high level of desire (9.8 rpg as a junior) ... Smooth offensive game with the ability to score around the basket as well as face up and knock down mid-range jumpers ... Has a nifty right handed hook shot ... Does an excellent job of creating a big target and fighting for post position making it easy for guards to find him in excellent scoring position ... Shows the ability to face the basket and create offense for himself ... His excellent leg strength allows him to power through opponents around the rim and convert two handed dunks through contact ... Very agile and his excellent speed in the open floor allows him to beat opponents down the court for easy baskets ... Has great foot speed which allows him to get by players for easy back door cuts and ally oops as well as blow by slower big men on the perimeter off the dribble ... Strong finishing ability off of drives as he shows the ability to go left or right and convert finger rolls off the glass ... Shows excellent hands grabbing in bound passes and boards with ease ... Shows good vision and passing ability ... Deceptively athletic ...

Weaknesses: At times, his confidence in himself gets him in trouble as he often is too enamored with the 3 point shot. While he shows good form and potential as a perimeter shooter, he needs to improve there to justify taking the number of shots he does (17%, 5-30 3pt fg) ... Appears to be a guy hat could considerably improve his body with better workout and diet habits ... Gets a little out of control at times and is a bit careless with the ball on passes ... Upper body strength needs work ... A year old for a senior (turns 23 in October) ... Needs to work on his free throw shooting, (60%) ...

They need to get Mullin or Pritchard in here in a hurry as soon as these FA's are signed.

Any experienced poster on this board can make more educated decisions than whoever is in charge in the Knicks offices. Its really sad.
Randle is a player I've been on for a couple of years and would seem to fit the offense perfectly. Collins is a guy who you'd think we could find a spot for with all of our open roster space.

It looks like the Wizards are making some strong moves all of the sudden. If they really blow the team up, then those SL guys might pay off.
