I have no problem with Isiah the coach. When a coach meets expectations he deserves to at least be considered for the next years coaching job and that is what Isiah has done. Lenny did this and was run out of town. This caused upheaval. Not sure we need that again. Isiah has met expectations and deserves to at least be considered as coach. IF he fits our current plan than he should stay.
As for Isiah the GM. We need a change. We cannot waste anymore moves. It is time to be efficient with our moves.
the difference w/Lenny is that Marbury still acted & played whatever way he felt like it when Lenny was coaching... he's actually playing team oriented ball this year & not being a knucklehead off the court... when Lenny was coaching, Marbury still thought this was his team & the coach's authority was pretty much shot w/Isiah's presence looming over him... u can't have the team's best player looking over the head of the head coach because he's tight w/the GM... that's never a recipe for longterm success, so there was no point in continuing on w/Lenny as our head coach.
agree w/u about Isiah as the GM... we do need a change... there's been too much negative press & negative feelings over his tenure as GM... i think we need to cut the chord on that & bring in a guy like Colangelo who brings instant credibility to that position... but having Isiah around to help scouting the young talent is something that could benefit this franchise, so keeping him on as coach is probably not a bad idea.
I agreee with everything you say. I also note that part of Lenny's lack of credibility was brought on by Isiah. Firing his coaches and giving marbs the key to the franchise. But I agree he almost had to go because we were in another situation where the GM and coach weren't on the same page
