"Ever since he came on, Steve and I have worked hard at trying to give him as much what you would call player currency as we could, either cash or whatever," Dolan said. "Give him the freedom to make the moves he'd like to make."

"The money's there to use well but not to waste. But I think Isiah's moves have been very good so far and if something like that came up, I would hope he had a lot of conviction before we did it. But, I would agree if he had the conviction, yeah."


This is good because if we could make one more $$$ deal, ie take back a bad contract for a high level player (center) that would really push us to the next level, especially if we dont have to give up Sweetney or Frank.

With several teams having cap space another trade I think is possible is for Elton Brand. The Clippers were TERRIBLE with him down the stretch. I could see Frank having very high value for them and we could get a team like Utah to get involved to make the salaries work.

Thats great to hear. With a skilled Bigman, we may be able to win Atlantic next year.

Quick question, with the new 6 division scheme, are the winners from each still guarenteed a top 3 seed?

If the money is there and Zeke has the green light, this is NY, you go jugular....please no "playing-it-safe" trades. And by all means, no chicken **** rebuilding trades either.

Zeke....you get a Superstar!.....If you could pull Shaq, Steinbrenner would be proud of the competition (lol)
