People need to realize the Knicks are an above average team. We can get replacement role players.
A constantly changing roster...the recipe for ultimate success
Who cares about role players. They are interchangeable.
Don't u know role players become our coveted budding stars when they leave, even at age 29...
Yeah and when we sign them at 28 they were already great(great signing Grunny you got it Dunny)....I remember fans saying initially his game reminded them some of Melo to a small degree.
HAHA, for real.. "in Grunny and woody we trust".....
I guess as fans we have to trust them. Bringing in guys on rookie free agent mini deals that have to be rotation players and finding guys talented enough to do that was either luck or an extremely thorough approach to scouting the entire globe for players. O
I don't have to trust them, and I don't.. that fact that we are in this situation is no surprise.. and honestly I would not lose any sleep over copeland... we overpay novak, kidd, camby, we didn't resign lin over personal reasons, we don't have youth to develop that would stay with the team on cheap rookie deals, so we wouldn't be faced with worrying over losing a 29 year old, tunnel vision offensive playing rookie.... the reason why we have so much turnover is because of business as usual politics at msg...
I don't like the situation the Knicks are in and I hate the way Walsh handled things and left no cap space or assets for Grunwald. That being said, Grunwald and the scouts bringing in Prigs and Cope was very resourceful. Grunwald has to be resourceful and Woodson has to be able to adapt to having a core of 4-5 guys and everyone else being new and on mini deals. That isn't their fault it is the situation the previous administration put the team in.
Another joke of a post. Blaming Walsh for Grunwald giving Chandler max money, Novak $15 million, Camby $12 million, Kidd $11 million? Give me a break. Grunwald is awful when it comes to giving out contracts. He was the same way in Toronto. Go ask Raptors fans what they think of Glen Grunwald and you'll get a sour face. Same with Woodson in Atlanta. Two mediocre individuals who don't do one thing great and are somehow the top two positions of an organization that is 'trying' to win a championship.
I know you have a serious agenda to prove yourself right and you will stretch the truth to do so but the Knicks handcuffed themselves with the Chandler move. Overpaying a player who has been inconsistent his entire career based on one playoff run. That's all on Grunwald. If he keeps Billups for a year, we have Chris Paul right now. I have no doubt about that. But alas, we are left with a mediocre PG in Felton and a mediocre C in Chandler with no cap room or even decent assets to acquire anyone. That's on Grunwald, nobody else. This entire roster, barring 2 or 3 players, is his. Stop trying to blame Walsh, a man who saved this franchise from extinction, to validate your support for a mediocre regime in Grunwald/Woodson. People did the same thing when Isiah was failing. They blamed Layden before him. Well guess what? Isiah buried this franchise more than Layden ever did and at the end of the day he was a worse GM. Isiah didn't fail because of Layden. He failed because he was an awful GM. Grunwald being an Isiah lackey isn't a good thing, either.
