Listen! I know that you care about the cap, and I do too. TT pretty much disappointed all of us, but I won't blame him, because Lenny knew that the boy was going through a lot and his head wasn't into basketball...He should have lobbied to have him on the IL until he gets his head right...But he chose not too...During that time, TT was taking valuable minutes from Penny and Ariza, and the two could have definitely helped us...I will also blame Lenny because he failed to give the Knicks a chance to have an identity.. We were a jump shooting team under his leadership, mainly because he had the wrong players in the lineup...Any good coach knows that you have to at least have a postup player in that lineup to have some sort of success, but Lenny despite the fact that he knew that Sweetn was very capable, failed to address our weaknesses...Nazr did ok in the beginning, but we were still a bad mix on the court...Lenny lacked creativity, or he was just to stubburn to change....the combo of Kurt and Nazr was Lenny's fault, there is no other way around that...It wasn't our best lineup..

the reason this season blew is more TT than Lenny. Lenny coached a Tor team 3 years ago that was 30-38.. pretty close to where we are. They lost their best player in Vince for the year and finished the year 12-4 and made the playoffs.
Your the same guy that said TT should play PF or that TT was the key. Hindsight is always 20-20. Your good fan Dido.. I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm looking at things that give us the most flexibility good or bad. Every deal has a chance to fail as well as succeed. Its checks and balances as Briggs would say. Is Mo's upside worth his downside. I say no, but thats just one guy.
