and getting Jalen Rose and Stevie Francis was FUBAR retooling.
I like both players but the FIT was all wrong.
Isiah's "its so crazy it just might work" comment regarding the Steph-Steve backcourt showed a total lack of any real gameplan or vision.
that was larry's comment.
"It's one of those crazy kind of things that you look at at first blush and say, 'I don't think this will work,' " Thomas said. "But the more you analyze their games, you start thinking, 'Hey, this might work.' "

Wow, you are totally right - my bad. I really had remembered this incorrectly, I thought Larry had said that. Here's another quote from Isiah in that article:
"Coach (Larry Brown) wanted to try to make sure we did something to help our present situation without compromising our future," Knicks President Isiah Thomas said. "We were able to solidify our backcourt and help our present. Maybe win a couple more games. He's a player you can carry into your future."
