here is one of Donnie's 1st indepth interviews w/NY media where he outlines his "plan" for 2010 (a plan i fully supported because of the way he outlined his plan when he got here)... pay particular attention to what he says at the 3:00-3:30 mark about FA's wanting to come to a team that's not competitive.


now relate his comments to how he's handled this team this year, the moves he's passed up on, & the direction the team is currently going, & then ask yourself if his ultimate goal of landing a max FA this offseason is in line with the way he's run the franchise the past couple seasons.

key thing he said was to rehabilitate some of the guys on the roster - I think they did a better job of that last year, for whatever reason.

last year they were able to rehabilitate Zach & Jamal to the point where we were able to unload their contracts for ones that expired a year earlier, so for that i give Donnie kudos... i never really expected he'd be able to do that, but at least w/both guys u knew they had talent & could produce on the floor... this year we're trying to rehabilitate Jared Jeffries & Eddy Curry so we can dump their contracts... Curry i can remain patient on if that's the case, at least i know he can play if he's in shape... Fishlips is another story... just doesn't make any sense to be playing that guy... he doesn't help u win games & he doesn't increase his trade value on the floor w/extended minutes either... all he's doing is stealing away minutes from other guys on this team... guys that supposedly the goal was to try & develop this year.
