I do find this thread amusing...the Knicks have one of the greatest basketball minds in the organization now, and there are doubts of what he could do.
But this garbage roster was defended to sheer eternity.

So what you are telling me that if we were able to make the same offer we could have gotten Garnett and Ray Allen. That is BS!!!
No we couldnt, because we dont have a big man capable of 20-10 or a top 5 pick in the draft coming up....like Boston did.What I am telling you is Boston gave up quality to get those guys.

MAN LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING!!! if we were able to make the same offer (same players) could have gotten Garnett and Ray Allen. That is BS!!!
I dont recall the Knicks giving up a top 5 pick or 20-10 big men to get melo...so it all evens itself out.
You really believe the Knicks are hated...nobody hates on a perennial loser.

You are avoiding answering my question so I am finished debating you. You know exactly what I mean. Danny Ainge got Garnett because he was in tight with the GM. If We had the same players that Boston had to make a deal to get Garnett we would have gotten turned down. I can't explain it any better so stop avoiding my question. I will not speak on it again. by
You havent asked me anything, you're just making a baseless ridiculous claim.
Boston didnt get KG and Ray via a fleecing like the Lakers did getting Pau headlined by Kwame Brown.
Boston gave up good piece to get their players.
And the point I made closes the door on this nonsense....we gave up average players and got a perennial allstar....didnt we?
