briggs i agree on adding another quality big but i'm not sure what you're giving up. this team is pretty thin right now. we just need to be patient and see the returns with mozgov and AR. briggs seriously you advocated for AR for YEARS and you've given up on him in 15 games. gimme a break, show some patience and he'll be an impact 21 yo 7 footer off the bench by spring time. its a long season.
Totally agree, and baffled by BRIGGS' impatience. Yes, we need to ramp up quickly and try to get the most out of our Amare deal. But we shouldn't abandon our yoots this early. Give Moz and AR some burn and let's see if we catch lightning in a bottle. If not, then we make a move by the deadline or in the summer. Team isn't quite complete yet, and it will be MUCH easier to get ourselves a quality 5 and a backup 1 if we are not being desperate about it.

uh... if the league were full of only the kings, clippers, golden state, detroit, and new jersey... then yes we are a win now team.
Too bad we live in the real world.
Rose is not the answer.

I dont' think Brigg's logic is flawed. Stoudemire isn't getting any younger so if you want to win titles you have to give this guy a mature team that can help now. But I also understand the other side that says let's wait to see how we fair against the big boys before we finalize the roster. Don't want to get rid of the young guys before you really see what your flaws are. The big boys have a way of illuminating flaws that you don't think exist and/or eliminating flaws that you thought existed but really don't.
I just hope that people will like me

even if you are a young team, your window of opportunity is not very large in the nba. just ask the blazers.
chandler is up after this year. AR and Gallo next year and there's a team option on Felton. before you know it, you're going to have to find out what you have with everyone.
