When your two "face of the franchise" acquisitions (Marbury and Curry) both come up as busts, what does Isiah have to hang his hat on?

We're 8-20, Marbury is AWOL and Eddy can't muster a rebound.

Layden was fired at 10-18 when his savior (McDyess) came up gimp, and that was a deal Dolan forced on him by insisting he trade Camby. Plus he had the whole "character" mandate to fulfill.

Isiah gets to bring in all the head cases he wants, and he still can't field a better record.

He's failed to bring in keepers. He's failed to hire a head coach he can support. he's failed to win. He's failed at player developement. He's failed to bring chemistry to the team or the ranks of management. I can't find one aspect of management or coaching he's been successful at here, yet he remains alive. How?

Blue I busted out laughing as soon as I saw your title. You could bring in a Alien show him a Knicks game and even it would know there is something seriously wrong with this team.
