They don't have many picks anyway. They do have a star in his twenties and they can try to build around him. Their cap situation (Amare) limits what they can do. I thought Grunwald was very smart in how he was assembling the team. His firing and the keeping of Chris Smith certainly are discouraging. The new cba doesn't allow for a flavor of the month approach like Isiah had.
Trading what we did for Bargs says otherwise.
They traded almost nothing for Bargs.
crush-- a 2014 2nd rounder--believe me that is going to be like a #1 a 2016 #1 adn a 2017 is a sizeable amount for a player no one else wanted to pay for.
exactly, underrating draft picks to make bad trades seem decent needs to stop. I know people are conditioned to do it since this is what the badly run Knicks always do. We gave away a 1st rounder and 2 2nd rounders for him. We are not even counting the players right now. People said the 1st rounder would be a low one. Looking at both the nugget and Knicks this year it is not guaranteed to be a low one like many people predicted.
No matter how well or bad Bargs does not change the fact that we overpaid for a guy that their GM said he will Amnesty before the Amnesty deadline if he could not trade him. He said this in the first interview he got when he got the Gm job.
