I know that we wanted someone to replace Houston, but we could have waited a little longer to see who would have been availble. I have called for Larry Hughes instead of Crawfford before this trade went down, and I still believe that it would have been a much better choice. If we had Hughes on our roster right now, we would not have the defensive issues that we've endured last season nor this season. Hughes is a much better ball handler than Crawff and is also much smarter of a player. Now that we have Crawfford on our roster, we are confused to how to best use him. He is not a PG nor that he is a SG. Most are hoping that he develops into something that this kid may never be. Yes, he is talented, but he is a street talent instead of a true NBA talent. He can't defend his position, because his weight is to light, and he can't defend the PG position because he is not quick enough. The best solution is to trade this guy. I know that I will get a lot grief for saying what I have said, but I don't care.
We have Q and Ariza that can play the 2, therefore we can afford to be without Crawfford and Rose. I hope that Zeke and Brown realize that they are waisting valuable time and money by having Crawff on our roster. Crawf, Penny and Rose or Mo are expendable.

I pulled this for a few reasons. First of all your seeing the games thru the collective eyes of many opinons. Second this statement is one of your classic ones for a good reason: Your collectively cofused and suggestiong Isiah and Larry are also. We don't speak for either one. But you often do.
"We" is exactly whom? Contributers to the thread or Knick braintrust?
Im being polite here, but its tempting.
Lets just say that there a process by which you have Marbs as the longest tenured player on the team logging in a whoopping 18 months, on there 4th coach, and more players by which I can count.
This is what rebuilding is. Its a slow process (for us) by which a HOF coach is trying to figure out what he has and how to best put it together and let it grow together. We don't have a chemistry problem, cuz at this juncture we don't have ANY. Yet.
Really! Marbs is playing different and understands the task at had. the olympic thing is so over rated. It only showed Marbs how lacking he was in some areas and his big point game was a throw in of the towel to his team and he let them play to their strenghts, which is why they won that game but ultimatly got humiliated! But Larry and Marbs will be just fine, but it will take time. Craw also needs time for this correct way to become instinct. We are not confused, HE IS! But it takes time. Craw is a big time talent who never learned the right way of winning games. He learned how to put up stats and become wealthy. He's no loser! Now its time for the TEAM game!
Dido, think Quality not quantity in the posts and thread you start.
