What Zeke did was get a player to bring fans back to the garden(marbury), knowing this guy isn't a true leader but talented loser.
Then he brought on another scorer to bring some excitment in crawford.
What Zeke should have done if his intentions was on winning now was get a big man with DEFENSIVE ABILITES to play for the knicks. If he was willing to give away assets and ending contracts for marbury ,how would we be able to get our big man?
Instead we got Vin Baker.
We the fans were Starving to get a pulse from our team and ZEKE GAVE US A PACIFIER, no real food, just some junk food in Jamal Crawford.
Keep the faith some say wait until Houston comes back says others. I say like I have always said get a big man 1st and you can find a point guard anywhere = somebody's bench,overseas, NBDL, Rucker, .
You're absolutely slammin jamming right, my man. Trading for Marbury instead of a big man was dumb. With the asset Isiah gave away, we should have gotten a first class big man. But as a former superstar guard, he sees the world from guard's point of view. And I think he made the trade just becasue he needed to make a statement as a newly hired GM in NY, and because he wanted to bring back a NY PG back to MSG for marketing purposes. The fact that the players he brought in (other than Junkyard dog) play NO DEFENSE will hurt this team for years to come.
The bottom line is that last year's team sucked and this year's team also sucks. The difference is that last year, we had injured players in H20 and Dyess, senior citizen in Deke, rooks, and bunch of mediocre players in Eisley, Weatherspoon, Harrington, Ward, Shandon, etc. But a few of them were big ending contracts. This years team features young (and relatively young) players with big$$$$$ 5yrs+ long contracts who plays NO DEFENSE, plus those who should be playing in the minor league if NBA had one (in TT, Baker, Norris all acquired by Isiah), and we're hearing that this is a new team that's going in the right direction. I mean think about it, we only have H20, KT, and Sweet remaining from last years opening roster. We traded away 12 players in Ward, Eisley, Weatherspoon, Harrington, Deke, Van Horn, Dyess, Trybanski, Lampe, Vujonic, Doleac, Frank Willaims, and 2 first round picks. Dyess & Charlie alone were worth $18 million in ending contracts. Look at the roster now. Are you happy with waht you see???
Until we get a real big man and we start playing some D with heart, this team isn't going anywhere anytime soon. We'll still be in the sucky stinky world. We just look more flashy at times than last yr.
