ah, i forgot about Larry Brown... add him to my Wrong list.

Right call
- Herb Williams is not the answer as head coach, he isn't even the answer at assistant coach.
- Kwame Brown isn't worth trading your lottery pick for.
- David Lee at 30 makes sense. Taft will be out of the NBA soon.
- Nate Robinson is worth trading Kurt Thomas even if you have to take back Richardson.
- Brown won't work well in NY and it will end bad just like everywhere else.
- Trevor Ariza is not delussional. Brown is being a prick and Steve Francis is a shell of himself. Ariza has good upside and he is still young.
- Don't go crazy about Jackie Butler, Isiah was smart not to give him that type of money. Spurs are going to regret it.
- Marcus Williams will not be a big time player and he isn't lottery talent.
- Rondo over Balkman.
- Jared Jefferies is another foolish move by Isiah. Big mistake.
- Q Rich numbers will continue to decrease in the eastern conference.
- Randolph will hurt Curry development in the post.
- Randolph will not have problems off the court in NY.
- Chandler has a shot to be the 2nd best SF behind Durant in this draft besides he is better than Jared Dudley. He has lottery talent but in a horrible halfcourt system at DePaul.
- Told Nixluva that Gallinari will be more fragile than Anthony Randolph.

Wrong calls
- Channing Frye will be better than Bynum.
- Isiah will coach better than Brown.
- Jerome James will be a ok option at center forget about the money.
- Curry will continue to improve.
- Green will be better than Granger.
- Crawford will have trouble in D'Antoni's offense.
- D'Antoni won't coach winning basketball without Nash.
- Duhon sucks.
- Z-Bo won't excel in D'Antoni's offense.

I'm sure I miss a couple for both calls. The jury is still out about Collins and Marcus Williams having similar careers in the NBA but my call looks good so far. I only included items since my time on UK so it can be verified. There are others.

Is this a stroke your ego thread for the most part?

pretty much... everyone likes to brag about stuff they've gotten right so i figure we should set the records straight once & for all.

And I'm gladly the biggest hot dog here! Ha, ha!
Never give a hot dog fuel to brag with!!! Ha, ha!

Right:
Everything Knicks related

Wrong:
Pee-Pee Pants

Right:
* I thought we gave up too much cap space for Marbury and I thought we needed to get a good big man first.
* KVH for Fugazy trade was awful.
* Every Isiah trade was terrible. I don't remember being overjoyed with any Isiah trade, but was against most.
* Caught on earlier than almost everyone else how bad Isiah was.
* Hated the McDyess trade.
* Thought Frye was backup center quality.
* Liked Bynum over Frye.
* Thought Mardy Collins was garbage.
* Thought Balkman was garbage.
* Thought Jerome James was garbage.
* Listened to Briggs more than most people. :)

Wrong:
* I saw a lot of potential in Lampe, Sweetney and Frank Williams.
* Initially thought Isiah would be a good fit as GM.
* Preferred Nene over Amare.
* Thought no GM could be worse than Layden. Then Isiah proved me wrong.


Those are off the top of my head. I'm sure there's a lot of others. Sadly I've been right much more than I'd like in the past 6 or 7 years. I'd gladly prefer to have been wrong more often and have a successful team.

wrong
- needing a center
Both jerome James and curry were failures and suprisingly acquired in the same year

- marbury needs a supporting cast
It's now more obvious that his "supporting cast" days have passed and the best supporting cast he had was the year tin Thomas got hurt against the nets.

- isiah can coach
His inability to stick with the Indiana / phoenix offense and succombing to salaries proves he can only coach a college team in Indiana.

Right
- needing a center
Turns out jeffries is our center and dlee is continuing his college position at center in the same capacity. We still need a shot blocker however a long zone defense knowledgable player will suffice in our current system

- larry brown sucked
He clearly had the same if not more talented roster. If he could coach and isish can't why same record?

Isiah can draft
- Nate, balkman, ariza, lee, mardy, chandler are better than gallo, marcus Williams and everyone else also available at the time. Second round and end of first round players are far less superir than what zeke was able to pick up.

Islesfan
- new season new board

Right: Bonn
Wrong: everyone else, especially TMS
