Tim Thomas is yourger than Vanny and more athletic, more talented, and more up-side.
Right, so he's younger and more athletics yet take less rebounds and get less travels to the stripe. Great.
More talented ? So please explain me why he best yr is worst than keith worst yr ?
I agree with you on the upside though, cause it's really all he has. 7 yrs in the league is a very long time, should have showed before what he can do.

Experts have suggested along with me that Timmy is a better fit for the way Steph plays, plus, i still never thought that vanny and marb got along well enough that each forgot the problems that had in the past with each other. (you might differ).
Wow, experts suggested that ? Are they the same experts that keep on bashing this trade ? on the other point, you may hit something right in the head, as marb didn't really like keith. good point is now he'll have the opportunity to measure how he underestimated vanhorn.

But Timmy could use some maturity in the way he approaches the game though. doesn't he deserve our support when we give it up to marb when he only played 22 or so games. Keep in mind, marb started out 0-4 and we might have over-looked it as fans because of his tremendous upside. Tim has the same type of upside(maybe not as much as marb, but close) he is marb's age and crap same for naz. For this season, i think the knicks will be happy just making the play-offs, (i wouldn't and i hope they ain't either).
I dunno what maturity you're talking about, maybe the same IT saw. dunno.
Comparaing marb's upside with TT's one, a proven overpaid underachiever makes me wonder if you just mistakely made good points. be serious. TT might be good one day, but no chance he can do what stephon already does.
I understand your point about supporting him though. I've nothing against him and i'd prefer see him tearing the league. Truth is he guy who was playing well has been mysteriously shipped to another team that happens to be one of the teams we were trying to catch up with.
The end of your post only remind me the last chapters of vin baker's biography, so i've tuly nothing to add.
