yeah, it's been a ton of wasted money, and (against public opinion on this board) still believe the only reason we used the expiring deals last year on a) Jalen was to get the pick and get rid of LBs crooney davis (he also did run into the stands) and b) Francis at the behest of LB to get rid of Zeke's crooney the dillusional reezy.
I believe that Isiah is a good enough coach to get something out of/for Stevie Knicks, but the Jalen move has basically blown up in our faces.
Every move post LB has been a winner in my book as the book is still out on Cato v. Jackie B.

But this $15 mill buyout on the surfiace at this point in time seems to be a huge waste of everyone's time and Dolan's money.
WE still have francis' $20 mill deal (rounding up) and Rose's expiring contract for a KG or a Jermaine Oneal, and I'm of the belief that a) we don't need either of them and b) weren't going to use BOTH gigantic deals this year as we still have Rose's contract for next year expiring and a ton less distractions for the media to harp on.
IN all, it's a wash, I think Rose will sign with the Heat and ride the pine to a title. (or maybe philly with webster).
But at this point, nobody is going to make a trade with Isiah that returns fair or better value to the knicks and isiah.
He's made his bed, the other GMs are making him lie in it.
Let's go knicks.
all kool aid all the time.
