I'm loving the direction this team is going and obvious changes in philosophy. Not crazy about the 51st and 57th picks. I think there were better fits at 51 and a better euro-stash player at 57. Some of those better fits went undrafted, so that can be made up for in the summer league invites and we have a D league team.
People bitching about the trade need to let it go. Phil has a clear vision and a genius bball mind. Adding Felton to the trade did ding Chandlers' value, but two 2nd round picks pretty much equals a 1st rounder. Jose C's contract is fine for the new system. Writers who say he is a slight upgrade over Fats, are nuts.
Phil has obviously only just begun the franchise transition, from repeat mistake offenders to team chemistry, winning mentality bball, and shrewd trade negotiators.
I will not be surprised if he moved others who whined or acted the fool and in doing so, moves an unmovable contract as we see he has done already. I also expect to see one or both of Gasol and Bynum in the mix now that we are under the cap. Notice the lack of big men and the surplus of sg/pgs? He already has replacement bigs in mind.
These are exciting times for our Knicks. Phil is not here to cash a check and tarnish his legacy. A Knicks championship is all that is left for us older and long time fans. Already seen my Giants, Rangers, & Yankees with their parades, but despite being a very young kid for the 70 & 73 rings, I just need that Knicks ring and I can live my life to the grave with a huge smile.
In Phil I Trust.
