From day 1 I was right about Isiah, and it had nothing to do with "luck".
Nothing good has ever come from hiring a smug, arrogant, obnoxious, incompetent ******* with a history of failure as an executive. I'd love to take more credit than I deserve for being right but it wasn't that hard to figure out once you put down the Knicks pom poms.
Why are some people getting all worked up because they happen to be the last to see something that was so obvious?
To be honest I was so happy Layden was fired that I was suckered right into the idea that the next guy could clean up his mess.
I thought hiring Lenny Wilkens and trading for Marbury were good moves and they proved to be as we made the playoffs.
However, Isiah just could not help himself. I think he had the right setup from the get-go with Marbury and a team full of role players (which was not unlike that 2000 or 2001 sixer team with Iverson and a bunch of role players).
It's really the only way Marbury would work. Yet then he dumped KVH who was having a career year for a career loser in Tim Thomas and it just went bad from there. (no need to list it all).
The last straw for me with Isiah was a team getting blown out by a floundering Sixers and Celtics teams last December and that's when I finally got the clue that being optimistic was fools gold and that Isiah and everyone he brought on board were losers who would never get it.
