I think people are criticizing Isiah too early as far as making bad moves. I think people should at least wait until the season to see our lineup and who is our head coach before people assume that this Knick team is not going anywhere. As far as our center and pf position I think those issuses will be address this offseason.

We are going to have negative as well as positive statements to make about anything because that is what we do, as fans.

That is what we all do, as humans. Even Isiah, himself, has criticized before.

If everyone agreed with every move that was made by Thomas, then we wouldn't be fans any longer, we'd be a bunch of ...

This is a work in progress. He is a guy that knows about basketball and talent, something people here wanted from their GM (in other words, the opposit of Layden). His job is far from done so we have to wait and see. At least he has kept his promise of turning this team younger and more athletic.

We will be back soon...

Hey if he turns it around this offseason and we are actually a decent team heading into the right direction with young players gettin burn I'll be the first to support IT.

I was one of his biggest supporters in the beginning.

However deals like the Mo Taylor have no explanation, and they need to stop.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I hear what you are saying, however the Mo Taylor deal made sense to me. I looked at that deal like, Isiah got rid of two players that were never going to get playing time. Also the Knicks got a draft pick. Isiah knows that Mo's contract ends the same year as Houston, therefore he can package both players together for something good.

the wilkins hiring was a total disaster and imho zeke look like a rookie gm

the tim thomas trade was a nice excuse for knick fans to head to the forums in disgust.....this year may be different only b/c 1 year left to play before trade value becomes a concern

the mo taylor trade did absolutely nothing but had most knick fans scratching their heads only to make demands to tank the rest of the season......

anyone ask zeke what year can fans expect a winning season?

I think we only got draft picks in the San Antonio trade. In this one we got none, actually I think we gave one. Anyway I really didn't like it, but we'll see what we can do with his contract later on...

Right. A 2nd-rounder.

Isiah has ebbs and flows.

The team sucked last year, and if you go by that "pesky" Win-Loss record, he bombed last year.

Changing directions, we got a buzz now. Reality is we may suck next year, but many can live with fresh faces getting minutes. Not when Anfernee game makes or breaks the team.

Yeah its a work in progress, but Isiah tried to win last year and it blew up in his face!

Rebuild it! IM cool with that.

Ebbs and flows.
