Isles: You're a bitter, bitter, angry guy. Do you ever joke around with people?

he may be bitter but he just OWNED pharzone.

Every article on ESPN.com up until a month leading up to the draft has Frye going in the 6-10 range which is exactly where he went. That's a safe pick, picking a player exactly where he was expected to go.

Just like I said back on draft night. Come on Pharzeone, admit you were wrong when you called me out saying that I shouldn't be allowed to go unchecked about calling him the "safe" pick now.

yes, and the first time they moved Channing Frye into the lotto on their predictions was a Chad Ford report saying that he'd heard that Isiah had a secret workout with Frye on the West Coast and that Isiah wanted him with his lotto pick. Ford said he thought that was "a little high for Frye, but apparently Isiah sees something we don't..."

I don't have Insider anymore, or I'd post the article.

This is ridiculous nitpicking though, because clearly the drafting of Frye is NOT "damaging" the franchise and you can't admit that.

im jumping off the isiah bandwagon myself. offer joe dumars 10mm a year.

And yes, Dumars would be good, but the second he does something remotely wrong, people will be calling for his head.

Isles: this much is true noone can say you aren't consistent.

The fiire Isiah comments are beyond ridiculous. No, he's not perfect but here we are in December and some of you chicken hearts can't stand to wait for this extremely young roster to mature.

There is much more happening that bears some analysis and serious thought. The frontcourt is solid. Curry and Frye are showing signs of bonding. The small forward slot is problemmatic but David Lee is working there in practice and Qyntel shows ability once he gets in shape.

Who stole the Knicks mojo?

How do the Knicks fix the sluggish backcourt?

Why does Marbury resent Frye palming his head?

Where can better karma be found?



Give the idiotic notion of firing Isiah a rest.

Marbury's early season attempt to discredit him was seen through by everyone.

Can you give me some details? I haven't heard this one...

Don't remember Steph's exact words. It was something about Frye only getting looks b/c of him.

He simply said that on the pick and rolls teams are doubling him and that is why Frye was getting so many open looks. Somehow Bill O'Reilly found a way to spin that. Pay him no mind.

Steph went out of his way to meet Lute Olsen so that he could congratulate him on the great job he did with Channing. Mike Breen said it during the Phoenix game. McK1 is an idiot.

Mike Breen is a d-riding Yes Man.

killa is Mike Breen.

Milicic is 20 playing benind Wallace & Dyess on a team with designs on a championship.

those 2 things alone should tell you where you were about to go you shouldn't.

how Prince has progressed # 3

3 ECF appearances 2 Finals appearances and 1 ring in his first 5 seasons on the job # 4

Detroits cap number # 5

How the f did he owned me. He stated that Frye was a safe pick. He wasn't and he hasn't provided any evidence of such. The fact of the matter was that Frye was promised the draft pick before June. It was considered to be foolish to promise a player a pick. It was a risk, it wasn't the safe pick. The safe pick would be a census lottery pick. Frye wasn't considered that. Most of these posting including Isles called Frye not a high caliber ceiling player. The safe pick would have been someone that was clearly like by all critics, not because he graduated from college. He use insight and judge Frye before the lottery. He made up his mind and made a promise. I can't help the fact that people finally start viewing Frye the same way Isiah did. btw, if Isles considered him such a safe pick why did he use the word marginal talent in describing Frye.

No coach, GM or star player can come to NY without being lambasted. It's par for the course

exactly, MJ, magic, Bird, all 3in their primes could come to NY and they would get lambasted. It is just ridiculous..

I think when Dumars made the Darko pick, LB had a lot of power and input into that pick. It was decision by committee. As Davidson slowly grew tired of LB's act, LB lost a lot of the leverage he had. So don't blame Dumars alone for the pick of Darko.
