i went back last night and looked at some segments of several games this year and I realize that we are in such deep doo doo. There is NO way we can go forward with this roster if we want to win games. Weere going to have to make a move--perhaps something along the lines of what I suggested TO START re Frye for S Williams, but our problems run much deeper than that. We are stuck with HUGE HUGE HUGE backcourt problems having Craw and Q under contract at big $ long term. The fundamentals on this team is not fixable because its malignant through the unit. There is to much to salvage the body.
its going to take YEARS to right this ship unless a miracle breaks
If the plan is to keep this roster and grow with it, we re in for years of hard times because you cannot win with these types of players.
We need a rather large balancing overhaul.
For those people who think Frye and Curry are the next Shaq Duncan duo, it couldnt be farther from the truth.
I think the bottom line here is we have a gM and a coach who need to be split up and one philosophy implemented. Its never going to work this way, I think LB wants Isiah gone.
I agree.
We need to:
- somehow move bad contracts (Craw, Q, JJ) in a package with Marbury or ending contracts
- get high 1st rd pick this yr and next
- draft Shelden and another defensive player (i like Gansey)
- shed payroll and regain cap flexibility by 07/08
- go after legit franchise player in the summer of 07 (Chris Bosh?)
The only current knick players i want to retain are Lee and Woods (maybe Ariza)
