I dont get it... he was drafted before we had a pick. not to mention the fact that Isiah point blank said he was trying to move up, but was unsuccessful. whats the grip? I would have liked him too... he wasnt available.

hey.. totally fair. I would have liked to see us buy that Nets pick if nothing else. At the time we had no roster spots (as you often mentioned). Isiah did say he wanted to move up for Ariza among others, but was unable.

Maybe he just didnt want to add picks until he was certain he could do something about the roster.

I think the Wizard were very lucky to get this guy in the second round. He definitely has great talent and size has a center and if he developes into what he could develope, teams could regret not taking him in the first round when they could.

Now, that has nothing to do with us, Briggs. You get frustrated by things that we can't do nothing about anymore. You sometimes keep bringing back the Marbury's deal and Milos and Lampe and all that because you really wanted the Knicks to start all over with young players and draft picks. That was an option and it could've worked but the truth is that another decision was made and we have to deal with this new path the Knicks are now. The same thing applies to this.

We had no shot at Ramos or another good center with our pick, and since Isiah's tries to go up didn't work, he settled with the best he could get at his pick. He did a great job because for such a deep pick he got a talent with a lot of upside. You can't blame him for taking Ariza when Ramos was already taken a lot of picks ago. He did the best with what he had. That's the truth and we have to go on.

I would really like to have a prospect center like Ramos but he wasn't avaliable so lets move on. Who knows if later on when he has developed he will be avaliable to us...
