Earl would ya chill out and laugh at a joke that includes Isiah's name once in awhile. Every time someone disparages Isiah, you are there in an instant to stand by your man.

As you would say...

It's just basketball.

"I'd be fine with Isiah diddnt ever mention Lee as long as he got his deserved 35 min a game"


"i wouldent care if he was playing 35min a game + but hes not"

looks like your as twisted as you guys claim Isiah is, which one is it?

you beat me to it.

Right now, IMO, Lee is worth $7-8M a year.

82games.com actually has a stat called a "Fair Salary". I'll have to go and look it up.

anrst - so why did Isiah draft Lee and Balkman?

To sabotage their NBA careers?

good thinking

He drafted them b/c he thought they'd be good, which they are. But Isiah is a sick sick person, and his motivations get twisted and warped and confused. It's not so crazy to think that crazy Isiah would become jealous of their popularity.

It may not be crazy, but its close... Since there is absolutely NO basis for believing that, I would think that it has more to do with Isiah giving public support to the guys who he feels need it the most. Since Lee already has the respect of the fans, hes trying to give both a confidence and a popularity boost to guys who need it? You guys rememeberlast month when Isiah gave Francis alot of praise for his "great D" after he had an awful offensive game? Hes just trying to keep the confidence of his team up. Either that or hes jealous.

Exactly, Lee does not need IT's support or encouragement in the media. The fans love him and IT shows his support by giving him playing time. IT is trying to focus on getting the fans off of the backs of Marbury and others and getting those guys going again. Plus, the NY media is likely only focusing on the negative, which means you only hear quotes about Marbury, Francis, Nate, and Curry for the most part. IT is not worrying about Lee or Balkman (other than to give Balkman some props to justify his pick, which is looking better and better every game).
