At this point i think isiah has done a great job. he took on perhaps the worst looking situation in the league last year. i mean when u think bac we had no athletic players on the entire roster at the start of last year, we were one of the oldest and least talented teams in the league, and there was no excitment whatsoever. and not to mention the knicks were the most made fun of team in the nba. i remember all the times i had the sit there and here the same joke on sportscenter every nite when they showed the knicks highlights, "the knicks, huhuhu." but after isiah took over everything changed. he brought the knicks their first real star since ewing which no one saw coming, and he made ny a place where ppl wanted to come again. Just the fact that we have heard guys like sheed, damp, say they would think about signing for the mid-level, or vince carter say that he wants to be traded here is huge compared to what it used to be like here. He got jamal crawford which was a great move, Jcraw is going to be the breakout star of this year and i think that tt is also poised to show why isiah went out and got him. im also interested in seeing what nazr can do, isiah has prooven in the past that he has an eye 4 talent so lets not jump to conclusions about nazr, because i remember him playing pretty well for the most part last year. i mean he had a 20-18 game, not many centers in the league do that 2day. And after what i saw from marbury today, this should be a very good year. i now know that i wouldnt trade him for guys like ray allen, or even vince despite my earlier post. The only thing i really think you can chritisize isiah for would be the cap situation but there really was no other way to improve the team enough for it to compete before 2007. i mean its not realistic to think that the knicks really couldve gotten under the cap neway, who was gonna trade us expiring contracts for guys like spoon, i mean would u rather be good for a few years with a 100 mil payroll, with the chance to be very good in three which is when the knicks will finally have some cap room, or be lousy for three year with a team that has about 52 mil in payroll which is where the knicks would be if they had just drafted and let contracts expire, either way there is no legit cap space for the knicks until the 07-08 season when h2o and shandon come off the books, then imagine wat isiah will be able to do!!!so when you really look at it, isiah has done the best job neone couldve with the situation he was given. GREAT JOB IT.
