I'll feel a lot better about the future once Marbury who is the key to our identity is gone


Who do you want to be the PG. Instead of just saying you want him off the team or anyone off the team for that matter, who would like to run the point for the Knicks that the Knicks have a legit shot at trading for?


anyone just make a move that will get young defensive minded, fundamentally sound players & draft picks. We had charlie ward as our PG for 10yrs and won more games, I'm sure we'll find someone to run the offense


Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, John Starks and Allan Houston were also playing on those teams. None of those guys really matter other then Ewing. Put Ewing with any PG and your golden. Ward was a prodcut of the system and last I remember most people were pretty happy to see Charlie Ward leave town.

My only regret is that IT didn't insist on lottery protection. Paxson had very little leverage.

I guess it doesnt matter. Everyone has their opinions and theres no use trying to change them. The sky is falling everyone.

yeah but we were winning more games with Ward than the 39 & 33 we won with Marbury

It's not just Knick's fans who see our problems--almost none of the basketball analysts picked our team to make the playoffs or be any good this year. Our team has major flaws.

So if the Knicks turn it around as the season progresses will you be willing to eat your words?

Not saying this is gonna happen.

Personally, I don't care if I turn out to be right or wrong, it's not about me--it's about the Knicks and things aren't looking good.

I want the Knicks to do well too, but I'm also not willing to ring the death knoll afet 4 games. Last season the Bulls stared 0-9 and made the playoffs. I think we've played disappointingly as well, but I've seen signs of hope, and want to see how most of the season pans out before deciding the entire team is crap.

Same obviously. I just want to get back to winning games like we used to and right now this team is so far from resembling a winning team as currently constructed its not even funny

Briggs is Correct. This team is so flawed it's not even funny. This is not an NBA Team. More like a street ball team.

OHHHHH LOOK AT CRAWFORD PUT BALL BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND AROUND HIS BACK. We not playing NBA Street here guys.

When Curry trade happened mostly everyone said "We def making playoffs and we gonna win 45-50 games"...then we start 0-4 and it's "We are rebuilding". Which is it? 45-50 win playoff team or rebuilding? Can't do both.


good point. which is it???

The Bulls started 0-9 last season while working in three rookies and went on to win 47 games. Which were they doing?

Bulls also played aside from spurs and pistons the best man and team defense in nba.

this isnt real gm hoss. the post had very litle to do with draft picks, but since you are brain farting outloud

A--2006 pick CONVEYED to Chicago with NO restriction
SA pick retricted to 14 and Utah OWNS it if the spurs have a top 5 record, if nOT it becomes very close to unrestricted in 2008
2006 ,2007,2008 2nd round picks all traded

B 2007 Chicago has the right to swap picks. If we get pick 1 in EITHER 2006 or 2007 its chicago's 2nd rounder gone that menas if chicago is picking 24 and we are picking 7, we give them 7 if we get greg oden, we give him to chicago. we could literally get the 1 pick 3 years in a row from 2006-2008 and give them all away.

C_utah--now we either make a payof this year if SA is a top 5 team or we do retain this pick. if we dont, its at the mercy oif very little restriction, and oh by the way its a pretty long time from now anyway.


if this was realgm I would have locked your crazy post from the start, but for some reason some crazy reason you have carte blanche around here to post untruths..

anyway, you still didn't prove a thing, if the knicks for some odd reason don't get a pick in 2007, they would have satisfied their picks being owed to the jazz(via the suns) and the bulls ... that would mean in 2007 Briggs, they would only have to SWAP picks with the bulls that means they would get a first round pick in return Briggs... and in 2008 we still have our first round pick, now how in the hell is what you said anywhere close to the truth?

and your post had everything to do with the picks, because you posted that BS to make the situation look worse that it really is, you are fooling no one man... just cut it out. Have a little integrity when you post, even when you are frustrated.... It helps in promoting a good thread and good conversation..

Your perspective on the Bulls' players is filled with hindsight and lack of perspective. Those guys were not as highly rated after their 0-9 start. In fact Gordon was bashed repeatedly by the media as a bust and the rest of the team was labeled wack as they had been for years.

I'm not saying we will repeat their turn around, but let's see what happens first. Larry Brown is not a scrub coach, and knows more than most. He has a difficult situation to deal with, having so many new players and being his first season with the team.

BRIGGS's cat: Briggs, might you be overreacting? Just the other day you were practically foaming at the mouth over your toe's potential.

BRIGGS: i am not bipolar

BRIGGS's cat: I didn't say you were.

BRIGGS: nice kitty


hahaha..

Briggs cat: I just finished balancing the check book and we have $500 left, so I spent 200 on a supply of kitty litter and cat nip..

Briggs: what?!!! you spent all the money we had in our account

Briggs cat: No I just spent $200 we have $300 left.

Briggs: so you mean to tell me you spent all the money in the account?

Briggs cat: NO!!

Briggs: I can't believe this.

Briggs cat: what?

Briggs: you spent all the money in our account and now we have none..

Briggs cat: I am going for a walk.. Phuch you...

Ummm...the Bulls were not a good defensive team to start the season last year. Check the stats. They gave up over 100 pts in 5 of the first 9 games (all of which they lost) and 94, 97, 98, 99 in the others. Sorry, that's not the sign of a good defensive team.

Once again you are falling prey to hindsight and a lack of perspective on the Bulls start to last season.

I saw far better signs of defensive intensity than last year, and if you don't you are not watching the games. The second half was atrocious, and we need to work on A LOT OF THINGS, but we are not toast just yet.

The Bulls sucked to start last season too. Tey had poor defense and their players played terribily as well. That's the cold hard reality, regardless of how much one wants to make refutable distinctions like their suppossedly superior players or defense to start last season.

Hey I understand your feeling. But I think we should be carefull about accepting the hype so soon. This is not the same team that has been here for 5 years. We have had to go through a HORRIFIC period over that time but we have a real coach who has respect and can teach.

As a teacher I can tell you it's wrong to expect miracles overnight. Learning takes a lot of time, patience and persistence. What has been missing, IMHO, from past seasons is the latter. We have not had a teacher that commands the kind of respect Brown has, and has the experience and knowledge in dealing with these types of situations. He put himself in a tough one, and we have to give him time. If we care about this team, I think we have to show a little more faith than doomsday declarations after 4 games.

I know it seems like 5 years, but this teacher, Brown, and many of his pupils have nothing to do with the past. Brown knows how to teach and create winners, and we have some good players here, especially the young ones, which we have not had for years. We have a lot of vets who are not that great but have more experience than the young ones, making Brown's job more complicated. I am very curious how he is going to work it out, but he's not a moron. He certainly must have a plan, with the best case scenario and the worst. Right now it's leaning towards the latter, but let's see how we do over a few months.

I think the hope is still there, for now.
