Keep Curry? LOL, the guy is one of the main reasons we are losing. He is an epic failure of the Isiah regime.

I have a difference of opinion on Curry. I know Curry can give me 24-8-60% in the right circumstance and while those are just *stats*--it's what you put around him that make those numbers and his play great. He is only 24--he was *dominant at times last year--he DID not come in in the same physical shape and he needs to do that. I do not think Zach Randolph was the correct piece to put next to him. Right now I believe Zach is under 40% shooting for the year which--to me is unacceptable from a frontcourt player even if he is grabbing rebounds. I would personally keep Curry and look into the market for Zach--there has to be a reasonable one.

From that God-awful promo [whoever made that up should be CANNED along with the people in the the brass who let it go on day after day] it reminds me of a curb your enthusiasm when he call someone the 4 letter c word. Well I don't really appove of using that word--but in this case--the use is OK.

This is by far the most embarassing period of time during my 30+ years as a Knick fan. This is NOT a team--it's a collection of names and stats.

The drafting has been overrated. I really wonder how many people might be very *patient* with David Lee at 4 and Bynum and prudently fill out the 1-2-3 with a game plan and style of play in mind.

I think things could've been done much differently with all the money we spent in the last 4 years. Giving the leeway to start bringing in guys like Mo Taylor who had an additional 12mm$ on his contract[while sitting on IR] set the tone and it just hasnt stopped. The only solace the Knick fan gets is the Summer League.
You always want to hope that things can turn around--but a pile of sht is a pile of sht.
Maybe Larry Brown was nuts but IMHO--he *clearly* realized the need to do it over and he was right.
I think we need to keep Lee and Curry[and see what we have with Collins Balkman Chandler and Morris]
I think we should pony up to Phoenix any $ that is allowable to get our picks back with no cap room.
Most of the coaches and the new face GM stuck there by his pal IT all have to go. This is a gut job--it's going to cost money--buy maybe a financial lesson is something Jim Dolan needs to have inflicted upon himself. He helped to create the disaster by letting the patients run the asylum.

Vomit

He BRIGGS,

Thanks for the new sig.

When the price was as high as Isiah paid, you expect Curry to transform the Knicks into a team like the Nets, Suns, Spurs or Mavs... or at least to a bottom tier playoff team. He's better than average for sure, but he's also a reminder of a monumental failure.

I'd just assume clean house and tank.

Failure what is failure if you look at that way then Patrick Ewing would be a reminder of the NYK monumental failure that got them the number one overall pick. Please the deal is done and going back and continuously rehashing a deal you can never take back is only going to mess your think about the team and make your judgment biased. Instead I see two draft picks that aren't going to amount to much for the Bulls.

Sure, it is a sunk cost. I agree there. However, let's not pretend like there aren't upgrades to Curry available. There certainly are.

As for the draft picks the Bulls selected, who's to say the Knicks would have taken the same player?
