There is nothing wrong with fans bashing the team showing there displeasure with all the losing. But its when people have to go out of there way to spin comments & quotes, post only one half of a comment or quote and hide the other part. Purposly creating misleading thread titles. Thats just pathetic to me in my eyes. There really is no need for that type of garbage. All you have to do is spit the facts. Isiah has spent a lot of money since he has become GM. Isiah has lost more than he has won.
There are fans that go out of there way to only post negative articles they find yet allways seem to miss the positive articles that are out there. Just like there are posters that only post positive articles and seem to miss all the negative articles out there. Basicallly only posting what they agree with and stay away from any other opinion that doesn't agree with theres. The definition of close minded.
Forgetting about the past. Going from what we have right now.
Looking at our roster Curry, Randolph, Richardson, Crawford, Marbury, Lee, Balkman, Nate, Collins, Chandler, Nichols, Rose, Morris, Jordan, Jones, James, Jefferies, the 2 free agent pick ups that probably don't make the team. Then looking at our cap situation for 07/08, 88.9mil, 1 expiring contract, 33mil over the salary cap, 33mil in lux tax. I think we could have a good situation. But I don't know if Isiah is the man to make it happen. He is to caught up in adding big names than forming a team with balance and an identity. There is some dead weight that needs to be cut like James & Rose. I would say that there is some tinkering that needs to be done in order to balance the roster. I want to see how Curry & Randolph play first, and how Crawford handles his new weight. Id prefer more rebounding, shotblocking, defensive anchor from the center position as well as a center that gets his pts without plays drawn for him. Hopefully Curry steps up or me personaly I would like to swap him for a young center who could do those things to put him with Randolph who can score a lot in the post. And pure SG who shoots at a better %, and more of a catch and shoot shooter.
If Curry & Randolph do work out well together as a scoring combo. Even if Curry doesn't develop his rebounding & shotblocking. Then around them has to be very good outside shooters to open up space for them. I like Nichols & Chandler, I think they will be good players for our future. Balkman & Lee are good for dirty work and hustle. I wonder though if Chandler has any ability to play the 2 though. Nate can nail 3s and score pts in bunches, Collins has good ability to create for the bigs and is good at stopping penitration. Richardson also would be a keeper for his 2 way ability and leadership. I think if you could add a very good PG to that core as well as a maybe a defensive, shotblocking, rebounding role playing big. We could develop into a very good team in the future. The question is, is Isiah the man to make that happen?
