Isiah has had the 7th, 43rd, 21st, 23rd, 29th, and 30th pick in the past few drafts. Nate was a miss although he is talented, Frye was a disaster, Lee was a great pick and he overdrafted balkman and chandler. Marcus Williams and Lowry are very tradable assets, balkman has some value........

I like what isiah has done with his picks we have nice role playing talent. But the fact remains outside of a gimme pick in 96 in the deepest draft in years he has made a few great selection TMAC being on of them.

Ainge drafted Tony Allen, Al Jefferson, Perkins, Rondo, Gomes, Green, etc. So if your comparing i think you have to give ainge the edge vs. knicks/celtics picks.......

Isiah has yet to bring in an allstar or anyone that has made an allstar team with the knicks or has improved the win total. Everyone also mentions curry is better than what we could have had, but here we are the number 5 picks get Ray Allen, our pick last year could have brought us a superstar.

But the fact remains isiah hasn't even bought us a playoff spot with the latest deal as we were just blown out of the water by the cetlics and maybe the last place team in the divison, if not second to last ahead of philly........

Look who has value on the knicks if we can get a top 25 all time player with an expiring and some late draft selection perhaps i would give isiah his credit

I'm rooting like hell for Zeke because every game he wins I know the pain you guys will suffer. I'm saving all of these blogs and remembering all of your names. Danny Aings only got this deal because him and McHale were friends. If Zeke had the same players Ainge had and offered up to Mchale he would have turned the deal down.(it's a black thing) Ainge was no genious he just had a friend in his old playing buddy and when they get rid of Doc Rivers ( you know the Brother?) and Mchale gets fired and get hired in Boston you'll see what I'm talking about. Zeke have a bunch of guys who will play hard for him. KG, Ray Allen , Paul Pierce??? What have they won??? Anything less than going to the finals is a bust for Boston.
One more thing!!! I asure you that the Knicks will be ready for Boston. Let KG block Curry's donks. (He might break his hand)
LONG LIVE ZEKE AND THE KNICKS!!

"Nate was a miss, Frye was a disaster..." Who's standard are you going by there MS? Most teams don't get a damn thing out of their picks. Hell, we didn't get a damn thing out of our picks for a decade. Either Nate or Frye picked in the 90's would have been the KNicks' Pick of the Decade. Hate for hate's sake. Balkman has "some value" huh? Well that is generous of you.

None of thee guys have better trade value than Balkman... and he's productive for us, which equates to that being a great pick.

Garnett is great but he has more miles on him than a 1980 Ford Escort. He has played 35,500 minutes. Curry has played 11,400 minutes. Thats less than 1/3 the wear and tear on our center. Zach has played 11,200 minutes. Thats also less than 1/3 the miles KG has on him.

They're younger players than KG and KG was given a bigger role from day 1 in the NBA than these guys were, so that result is not surprising, is it?

Its not surprising but its a ton of minutes and those heavy miles will come knocking just like they have on Marbury.

Do you expect a 2002 with 40,000 miles to have better reliability in the future or a 1996 with 160,000 miles?
