Listen fact of the matter is the Knicks are an embarrassment. They remain the worst franchise in the city and one of the worst franchises in all of sports. And fans giving up is reasonable. To watch years of constant mistakes in the front office and watch me first players like Marbury and Melo get the keys to the franchise is disgraceful.
The Nets have a very good chance of being better than the Knicks. We barely beat them last season without Lopez and Joe Johnson. Not matching this deal is going to turn out to be a tremendous mistake. He's not going to magically forget how to play. Did you see the list of guys with similar stretches? Jordan, Iverson, Wilt, etc it was a list of all time greats. Does he belong on that list, clearly not, but the kid can play and he can make things easy for guys. I am not sure Felton will be able to do so in the halfcourt. Woodson is stubborn to a fault and has a very hard time creating any meaningful offensive game plan.
What's the goal here? To beat the heat. The Heat are weak at the point guard so you attack their weakness. We need as many scorers, shooters as possible.
Did any players say a word after Melo wanted his money and gutted the franchise? After you disrespect your fans, organization, teammates and virtually quit on your coach, come into camp overweight and exhibit a bad attitude you have no right to open your mouth. Especially when you sucked in the playoffs and isolated the entire offense.
They better match. You don't let a kid this young guy. He's making 5MM the next two years, worst case you send him to the rockets for a draft selection or ship him up to toronto. We already lost fields for nothing, you can't keep losing young players and getting nothing in return.
