It's a young, above .500 team. When he took over he had an aging below .500 team. Think about that roster. The starting lineup was Thomas at center, Weatherspoon and Van Horne at forward and Houston and Ward at guard. Where are those guys now? Isaiah had no real assets to speak of when he took over. It takes time to make something out of nothing.


Dude youve got to chill, it's only 3 games.If we are above .500 by All star break or better yet by season end there will be plenty of ppl who'll readily admit that we're finally a legit winning team. It's true Isiah started with no assets, and it takes time, but after ALL this while, if per last years results are an indicator, we still have .... nothing tho show. But i'll give you this Isiah has gambled big time and if it pays off we could be respectable as eary as this season and be a force in the East, at least thats how i see it. But 3 games is still to early to tell.

PS I hope i dont come of as insulting to you, wasnt my intention. I'm sour on Isiah, sour on most of his signings but come game time i'll cheer my knicks, yes even JJ fat

Isiah is a big gambler and nobody can deny this.
Give me this amount of play chips and this amount of time and I will finally grab the big pot too.
Isiah most likely will operate differently if he will be the GM of team with limited money to spend.
The winner takes it all at the end and the loser... well... we’ll see soon enough.

Before we praise Isiah for his GM abilities consider:

1) We haven't hit .500 yet
2) We've added a lot of salary in the process.

This team has better young talent now than they had before, but we would have also had better young talent had we let the Houston/Van Horn/Thomas etc. contracts expire and kept our draft picks. We would've also had salary flexibility.

We 2-1. If the season ended today, we'd make the playoffs and Dolan would give Isiah an extension.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
