Rondo turning back the clock..

Cant believe we traded Lopez for Rose, and signed Noah for a lot more money than Rolo.

I really think this is the best path for the Knicks. Who gives a F about a single playoff series??? We need to build a long term sustainable winning team that has a legit shot to win a Title.

Really, its all contrast to Phil?

If you dropped your breakfast this morning while going from the counter to the kitchen table, say "I dropped my bowl of cereal, like Phil dropped the ball on the trade for Jose?" Or, trip on a rug........."Damn, I fell because that rug was out of place, Like phil signed Noah!"

SO the other players on the Bulls have no bearing on teams outcome? Or Celts? You see a game and you see Phil. A bit obsessive?

It just highlights how bad Noah's deal was and that the Rose trade might not have been worth it. The bulls and Knicks were compared to each other a lot. Clumsy rosters, half in on rebuilds while trying to compete etc. Phil's two biggest offseason moves involved the Bulls. And Phil was trying to build a playoff team again. Maybe the 47th pick from the Bulls turns into a cornerstone player and the script can be rewritten. Right now it looks like Phil doesn't know what he is doing.

In hindsight, Phil's trades and signing are so bad, I don't know how anyone can support his continued management of the team. Lopez was an awesome signing and he completely turned that into unadulterated excrement. And hindsight was not needed to know Noah and Rose would both get hurt. Nor was it needed to know Rose would not fit with the triangle.

As for Noah, I'd have to say he was brilliant for the triangle and his health was a statistical probability that should have been avoided. You don't do one without the other, and I think it was promise to Melo to get him help in a reasonable period of time. Not an excuse, just a reason.
Awol was not predictable. The knee certainly was on everyones mind.
Willy's surge bailed Phil out. totally different type of player. The biggest culprit this year was the lack of chemistry.
That's on Phil and for him to correct.

I'm pretty much in this boat.
