I voted confident, I think larry brown's Gm skills will put this franchise on the right track, but if it werent for Larry, and Isiah was still at the helm, I'd say we're screwed. that guy has no clue how to even pretend to run a franchise.

I say not so convinced. OBviously, there will be a lot of moves over the summer, but I don't think they will be the right ones with Brown and Isiah having such different ideas about what makes a basketball team.

Larry's GM skills, omg. Someone buy Eric Snow a ticket to NY and say your goodbyes to anyone under the age of 28, you're not ready yet young man. Dale Davis might be available.

qyntel woods is young, steve francis on the other hand is pretty old but still serviceable, and the same goes for jalen rose. these are the moves that larry brown reportedly pulled for, and I think they are good so far, I'd much rather have brown calling the shots than Thomas.

steve francis is old?! What are you a teenager? He's 29 freakin' years old! He's in the prime of his career! I don't much like the guy, but you can't say he's old!

actually I am a teenager, but yeah your right, but that just makes my point even more. wait a second, DID larry pull for the francis trade? I dont remember now, well anyway qwoods is young.

I made my choice under the impression that larry would tell Isiah what players to get and Isiah would get them, but if that's not the case, then I think we are screwed.

Yeah he wanted Francis, but now refuses to play him. sigh.... Francis is 29 which backs up my point. Larry now think he is ready to play ball. Larry hates to play rookies, not a big issue with a winning team but he doesn't have one. JVG was the same way, he convinced Grunfeld to part with Wallace and McCarty for veteran help to make another run. While some coaches can't stand guys that are too long in the tooth. Nelson is like that.
