I don't agree with the first part -- I'd be a hell of a lot more proactive that what our mgmt. has shown and I'd be utilizing every resource at my disposal. Turning over every stone...Other teams do this--why can't we?? I mean we have done this as a matter of fact, quite recently -- was Jeremy Lin good enough? How 'bout Chris Copeland? Look into adding a few more guys like this right now. Start here..You mentioned Hardaway and Tyler -- there are guys just as good playing in the D-league. Start there. Open up some spots and bring in some good young pieces from the DL. Small moves like that could provide a lot of answers, fill gaps and galvanize this team...If that's all we can do now, so be it. It's a start. Even if we called up a few players & came up with one viable rotation player, it'd be worth it...Next, if we haven't already -- actually look into aquiring this kid Pierre Jackson. Look at little Isiah Thomas tonight -- had an off night shooting the ball but still ran a good show and ran rings around Felton at both ends when it counted. That dude's 5'9". PJ is closer to 5'11", better game with better skills imho. There's a spot for this guy in this league. Isiah Thomas is proving that this year and other smallish guards have proved it in the past...There are pieces here to make a trade with New Orleans, either a smaller one or something larger. Look into it. Start looking into things to better this club. I'd have no problem at all if those moves were small at the moment. It's a start...GTF off your hands and go to work! I wanna see these turkeys start earning their money and if they're not up for the challenge, get 'em out and bring in qualified people to get the job done. Clear direction and conviction.

Joke. This dude's why we lost tonight. SMH...I was wrong about him -- I think a lot of us were..He's not up for the challenge here. Weak mind, weak game. Simple not good enough.. We desperately need change at PG.

Agreed. We definitely need to pick up a pt guard at the trade deadline . Also need to start Hardaway and put Felton on the bench to start the game

This team gets more entertaining with every game

You never been so right. Run a fing play to get him a open shoot.

Seems Iso-Gay works? Iso-Joe is a clutch game finisher!

Sac has a pretty good roster. very young with talent.

Demanding management has to answer for this?

The big question is does Melo want max money and be the man in a Max city? Or take less, and be less to win WITH other players?

When I was a rec league star I often the best player on my team and thats how they build the teams in the league, if you got an AAA player, and were none left, a team could take two AA or three A players. The teams that went with two AA players usually did the best. I was young and it was fun to score 20+ and be the focal point of the offense. Eventually they changed the rules as we got older and got on a team with all my friends who could all ball. We decided we would sacrifice our games for the season and win. that was fun also.

Difference was nobody took a pay cut!

rudy gay was the most selfish player i have ever seen this year for the raptors. i am 100% thrilled he is gone, with that said, he still is probably one of the most clutch players in the league. with an iso up top and a shot that needs to be made, i think he might rank #1 or #2. i trust him to make the shot more than lebron, kobe or durant. he has that uncanny ability. knicks-melo is not even in the same hemisphere on that account.
