Of all of the boards and the posters I have seen in the last three years, I have never seen any one of your trades scenarios, or draft picks ever come true. Have any of you's ever gotten one right? I mean of all the players we have right now, including the GM-coach, did any of you pick them to be a Knick?

I see all of this stuff on k-mart and Artest and many, many others, and we never get any of them. I know it's fun' to talk and fantasize about, but has any of your arguments, your pushing for a certain move ever come true? Now this question does not include official pre-talk of moves that were either made eventually or gone by the way side.

I was right about Isiah from the very beginning.

I was talking about positive stuff, but that's a good start. As a matter of fact, I remembe many people being not too happy about Jerome coming here either, and you guys were right on the money. A few were even right about Jeffries being a mistake also, now that I think of it. And Malik? Yeah, him to.

Recently I was right about the following:

JJ-As obvious as he-ll

Stevie-More obvious than JJ

Jalen-Not a bad player, just not sure what the thought process was behind the trade

Team Dynamic-early bickering, struggling with minutes, guys not complimenting each other.

Front office-7 years ago I said that in the coming years we would see plenty of scapegoating, fingerpointing, coach firings. When we brought in losing players I said fans would still somehow be shocked and frustrated that the team lost games.

Isiah and his minions-That Isiah would eventually be forced to do the things the haters had been begging him to do 3 years ago. The minions would talk about how brilliant Isiah was for doing it 3 years later.

LB-The match with that roster was going to be a train wreck. Warned against Phoenix EAst for months and was either ignored, or called a hater. I told you so!!!!

Allanfan20-Would still be my biotch 5 years later.

I was wrong about the following:

JJ2-I did not think he'd have a great overall impact on the team. Thought that was more Isiah hype. I did think he'd help us develop a defensive identity. 100% wrong on that one.

Frye-Never thought he'd be a star, but thought he'd have an impact this year. There is still time I guess.

LB-Thought he'd tear the team down and build it back up. Not tear it down and then tear it down more and then be canned

Stephon-Thought he'd be gone after the LB signing.

I was right about JVG lasting effect on this franchise when he bum rushed the coaching position being ewings flunky that brought in Laydumb and all the bogus transaction up until now . VanGundy had to hire pat ewing for a few seasons as an assistant just to pay him back

We need to start bookmarking some of these posts after some of these moves and trades. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong on this board from time to time but there are some that need to be remembered.

My favorite group is the "we are going to win 41-46 games this year" group that is now telling everyone that there expectations are too high and that everyone needs to be patient.

Another group is the "we have the best depth in the league" group that now blames injuries for the record.

The other group is the one that called me a hater for asking the summer question "would Stevie and Marbs work?" but are now screaming the tune of "trade Stevie".

Another group is the one that said I was a hater during the summer for saying that major factors like chemistry, an unbalanced roster and inevitable injuries would keep us from winning 41-45 games. But are now saying these are the reasons we didn't win as if they were the first to think of this idea. I love the group that is 1,2 and 3 years behind.

Right
-Crawford, Francis, Jefferies, Frye, Taylor, Rose, James, every isiah trade, Isiah, Dolan, etc. Balkman needed more minutes, Eddy Curry

Wrong
-Harsh critic of Balkman seleciton at the time, Collins

A few had guessed the Sprewell for Van Horn trade that eventually happened... but the guess was a few months pre-mature.

Other than that, I think every other Layden trade was a complete and utter shock and Isiah's trades have been dumb as hell. The only other one I think a decent number of people guessed was the Knicks sending an expiring to the Raps for Jalen + a #1. Except, most people guessed it would be Penny to the Raps, but we used AD instead.
