if even 1 of those guys ends up becoming even a solid role player for this team i'd be happy.

you never know. Isiah believe it or not was an ex-scout, GM, coach, and most of all great point guard during his years. With time, unlike Layden and other will prove that he knows what the hell he is doing.

Bender, Harrington, Oneal, TMack, hmmmmmm, you never know.

The fact that we are bringing quality undrafteds to compete in the summer league and for roster spots, is reason to applaud Isiah. We're looking at bringing in 4 draftable guys. Sure none might pan out, but at least some of these guys have a shot. Ariza and Lamizana are real quality athletes, and it seems like Chan is a pretty good athlete for his size as well. Barrett's a guy who knows how to play his position and was a productive star at his previous level. Last year the only undrafted that seemed like he even had a shot was Matt Carroll. Big difference from previous years to this year.

i was trying to think of the last time the Knicks ended up w/a player that made any impact on the team out of 2nd round picks or undrafted prospects...does anyone know?

i had originally thought of John Starks, but he was drafted by Golden State.

For the 100th time, Donnie Walsh is and has been the GM at Indiana!

Isiah built toronto on Camby and Damon Staudamire. Enough said.

He has no great track record in development.

That being said, I hope one of these kids pan out, and I hope Isiah proves to be be the greatest GM ever.

on the internet, Isiah is over praised, Layden is over blamed.

Zeke pursuaded Walsh to trade Rose for Artest, Mercer, & B.Miller. Plus O'neal, Harrington, Artest, Bender have all said they would not be the players they are without Zeke. Im not saying that its true but it goes to show how much respect he gets from players. He failed in the 2nd half as a coach because O'neal's step father shot hisself in the head. Tinlsey mother or father died, as well as Croshere father died. So there were alot of distractions which lead to the downfall in the 2nd half of the season in Zeke's final season with the Pacers.

As for Layden. Say that he offerd Anderson 2-3yrs instead of 7. & Spoon 2-3yrs instead of 6. As well as never traded Childs & a first rd draft pick for Jax & Bogues which turned into Eisley. As well as signed Houston to a lesser contract that he is turly worth. And I wouldn't have mind his moves. He did trade away draft picks but I could have dealt with that if it meant no Shandon Eisleyspoon. I could have dealt with the KVH for Spree. I could have dealt with the Dice trade as it wasn't even that bad as we landed Dice, Lampe & Williams.

Hopefully he is the cure for what "ALE'S" us.

mm cheesy.

the father figure part was funny though. low, but funny.

Chico,

It was low man. it was ment to be funny.

Freaken lighten up dude. You comparing Lenny to Bill Clinton? Layden to Jimmy Carter? (kinda makes sense though!)

Whats next, becasue Isiah took Sweets and Marbs to playoff games and invited him to his house, he is like Michael Jackson?

and we have a new playa!!!!
