I voted Curry. No brainer. Franchise bigman and ISiah's make or break move. If he's healthy he catapults us into the land of meaningfull basketball again and for a long time. The flipside is Isiah's legacy will be tempting a kid with Garden money to play when he had advice from doctors to better understand his condition. Just as Curry will be known as a guy that died playing Isiah will be a guy known for signing him knowing the risk existed. Terrible risk but I guess for the sake of watching I will practice denial from here on out.

I voted Nate- reason is Isiah manipulated phoenix into giving us their pick this year, all for a back issue that he clearly was willing to accept.

the problem with the curry deal is we gave up some pretty valuable pieces in sweet, the pick & TT's deal- Nate was just excellent 'crush their balls' negotiation

I went with Frye, though I easily could have said Curry. I think they'll make each other better.

Now Guns, you knew how this poll would end up looking before you posted it, didn't you?
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

I voted for Q Rich... I think he is a better player. If we are analyzing best "trade" it also goes to the Qrich trade cause we also got NRob. I hope Curry proves me wrong...
You know I gonna spin wit it

I voted Frye, because he has all of the intangibles that a big man needs to have. He has size, length, and charisma. If Curry is healthy or can stay healthy, look for the knicks to be a strong force for years to come...

You just pulled off the impossible--you made Islesfan by comparison look like an optimist!

Just look at the moves Isiah Thomas has completed since the trade deadline.

Stand back and take a breath of fresh air.

Then get ready for more

It's on and poppin' at Madison Square Garden

I don't know, but I still believe that one more trade will take place. Penny and Malik or Mo will be traded by midseason.
