Hard to give credit to someone who (under his watch) gave us a collection of the worst seasons in this franchise's history. He was an overpaid, overpowered talent scout.

There were guys he traded for that I often wonder if he brought them in so they would stop torching his teams.

isiah knew talent, just didn't know how to put it together and often gave up too much value to get that talent.. that was his problem.. he should have been a scout, not a GM or coach..

Absolutely agree. Is Zach Randolph a good player? Yep. Is David Lee a good player? Yep. Can David Lee and Zach Randolph play together? Umm, No! Same with Nate and Crawford. Heck, even at this point of their careers, putting Zach, Lee, Craw and Nate on the same team would not result in many wins. Zike couldnt build a team to save his life- a backcourt of Marbury and Steve Francis?! Ha! Here's some other players he thought could contribute:

Eddy Curry
Jalen Rose
That chubster we got from the Rockets (can never remember his name- played offense but no defense)
Channing Frye
Jared Jeffries (at his salary the first time round)
Jerome James
Tim Thomas
