i still don't understand what you're contesting me on... i said Isiah was the best judge of talent in the draft of any Knicks' GM in the past 25 years... if u disagree, tell me who you think is & why.

Hill had 10 pts 5bds and a block tonight and was on the positive side of the +/- stat again. Scalabrine had a huge game in Houstons win.

The knicks are always so focus on getting a lebron that they don't spend enough time finding a Parker or arenas.

The Spurs are successful because they are patient with their players for few years. Having Timmy and Parker helps.
The Knicks can't be that patient. The kid has to produce in summer league or he is a bust.

Picks are overrated. Who needs a scouting department when you can just hire free agents who have proven themselves elsewhere; JJ, JJ2, Marbury, Curry.

/end sarcasm.

Okay, in that isolated sense yes, Isiah was the best judge in talent in recent Knick times.

He still had his **** ups though. (Collins, Balkman, Nichols, wanting Taft over Lee [again, not sure here, but its widely reported that Suhr convinced him to take Lee])

However, the best Knick draft pick in the last 25 years was Charlie Ward. He was a winner on a winning team. Lee has a chance to eclipse him if we build a winner this summer (and even keep Lee). Yet for now, nope, it's Ward. Hands down. Sorry, Isiah.

Ohh right. I get it, excuse my aforementioned lack of knowledge The whole way the American draft and trade systems works is completely foreign to me still.

Look, AuusieKnick10. Save yourself, while you still can.

Go find a different team to be a fan off.

If you happen to be in Australia, I suggest you look at the west coast teams- Lakers or Phoenix.

Don't want to be a front runner, go with the Clippers, Billy Crystal is a fan.

If you are in the NY area, I suggest the Nets who are probably, no I guarantee, going to be better next season, and they will be playing in Brooklyn as well.

Plenty of options for you. But being a Knick fan, I urge you to stop before its too late.

Mate, once i pick a team, i stick to 'em. And ive been a Knick fan for a few years now, just watching games on and off. Starting to get a little more involved now im living here though. So, as much as your advice may seem like sane advice right now.. ill politely decline and stick it out Also, ive already bought a Knicks cap so i might as well make use of it! Not to mention the tickets to see them against the Blazers tomorrow night

You must have the mentality for being a knick fan.

Hopefully, you can help bring some luck to help turn things around.

Enjoy the game! And post a thread afterwards- that is something some folks do here.

--- First off, if you're going to give Zeke 100% of the blame for the mistakes, you cant turn around and try to use innuendo and rumors to detract from his successful picks.

--- Did he draft Nichols? I thought he passed on him and we invited him to a summer camp.

--- Balkman wasnt a bad pick at all. Collins sucked, tho. Thats probably his worst pick. Collins had no upside and was a marginal talent.
