I'm not a big fan of K-Mart. He has some exciting plays, but overall when it comes down to it, he's very reliant on his athleticism and with bad knees that's a bad bet. You just know that the second we got him he'd be done for his career.
Zach only seems redundant when you don't have the shooting. We've seen a glimpse of what it looks like when you have shooting and it was very good. So I don't see any reason to be down on his acquisition. We just need to key in on filling our PG & SG needs and preping Chan to take over the SF spot.
I don't have a fear that Isiah will trade our pick for something useless. It doesn't sound like Dolan has any intention on getting rid of Isiah anytime soon. WIth no pressure from Dolan Isiah won't feel compelled to trade our pick in an effort to save his job.
i understand anyone having big issues w/going after a guy like KMart, trust me... it's understandable especially after the disastrous McDyess trade, but in this case it would basically be about money & nothing else, unlike McDyess where we had to give up Camby AND a #7 pick... i'm not saying he's a guy i'd be actively targetting at all.
& what possible reason would u have for saying there's no pressure coming from Dolan in terms of Isiah's job status? Isiah himself has acknowledged that his butt was on the line this season, & says his job status sways with each & every win or loss as the season progresses after the last game vs CHI... these are his own words, not mine... if there's a deal to be made out there to trade our pick for a player that Isiah thinks can save the season, u better believe he's going to be severely tempted to make it... the problem is that player is just as likely to be someone like Baron Davis as it is someone who might actually make some sense for this franchise like Kobe Bryant knowing Isiah's penchant to make deals w/o consideration of longterm consquences or logical placement within the team's overall roster structure.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
