haha. let me tell you something, i went out saturday night, didn't get home till 6am. first time i did that in a long long long time. and i remember why. i'm too old for living it up like p diddy.

back to the topic at hand - that's a whole lotta money.
it's pretty sick actually. hey, for all the times we diss dolan, he does spend money. it just hasn't been spent wisely. in many ways, he's like a better version of george in the 80's. george was and will always be a d ck, but he spends money. he spent it unwisely in the 80's and was always meddlesome. dolan spends the money now, and for the most part, it has been used unwisely and for the most part, he doesn't get involved in the day to day operations of the business. so hopefully, it will turn around now like it did for george in the early 90's. one thing tho, the yankees started winning when they spent $$$'s COMBINED with cultivating their own talent. so i hope that's the plan here also.

can we get the total number of years?

In terms of pure dollars, the Marbury trade was the worst, by far.

He announced that we can call him just Diddy now. It was such a relief.

"I felt like the 'P' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Diddy said.

this just in...diddy is now officially going by the name did.

"i felt like the 'dy' was getting between me and my fans and now we're closer," Did said.

But one question?

What you gonna do when Trybanski starts tearing it up!

Another great player traded!

Czary!

I don't get the significance of this info. What does it matter really. The only thing that matters is that we get this team to start winning. If that doesn't start to happen this year, then I can see making a big deal about all the money. Right now I don't really care how much money has been spent. I view it as necessary penalty for getting this team in the mess it was in when he got here.

What matters now is that in 2 years, his draft picks were Ariza, Frye, N8 & Lee and I like all 4 picks. Steph, JC & Q are the pick ups I like the most out of all the deals he made. TT & Penny are now irrelevant and soon to be gone. Hopefully he can turn them into someone good. If not, big deal, we lose their salary and still win. LB and the players above isn't bad for just under 2 years. Especially when EVERYONE thought nothing could be done to change the roster when he took over.

Zeke is alright in my book.

that's all it is, info. but i still think it's pertinent info that can be used in developing a view on isiah's job so far - whether you're pro isiah or not.

Perhaps, but i'm not so sure its a negative thing. As i said. NOBODY expected him to be able to do anything and he actually shocked everyone with the moves he was able to make. Now to do this he had to get reamed financially. Its the only thing we have left. We didn't have anything anyone wanted. So our owner has deep pockets and he OK'd Zeke to use the money.
I guess I have this positive attitude, cuz I took the down years really hard. I hated how things went down just before Zeke came on board. The whole McDyess mess. Even tho Camby was hurt a lot, I loved that guy. Spree was another big mistake. I had lost all hope. Now i at least feel like we have someone who hates to lose as much as I do. Zeke won't just stand there and let the team suck. So if he makes a lot of moves so be it. Get the clowns out of here and bring in someone who can play.
So far I like where we're going.

The salary listing is helpful just to see how much was taken in to acomplish that 33 win team last year!

With that behind us, and what appears to be an even more youthful roster it can be hoped that we let some expiring deals exprire and get this thing reasonable.

We don't need to bring in anymore big salary, just let these kids develope into the next big thing.

the relevence is it has not translated into wins or better play, and thats important. If we were just adding young guys and "getting ready" its a different story. The bottom line is ISiah ADDED over $200mm in players and it resulted in 33 wins. Thats horrible, plain and simple. If he worked any normal business he would be out the door, but for whatever reason in the NBA you can get by for years on hope and faith.

I see two ways of looking at this:
Half full: ISiah has "bought" a lot of talent and now its ready to be put together. He's gotten younger more talented players and its all up from here

Half empty:Isiah's spent an ass ton of cash, made poor choices and is praying to god that Larry Brown can bail him out.

Personally I'm in the middle... I think he's overpaid, made some bad moves and the bad contracts are going to hurt him more than they already are. I do like the drafted players and the improved skill level of the roster. But then again I am a Knick fan
