That's pretty funny.
Now we need Berman to campaign for Josh Boone to come out.
1) I agree completely about making Jamal a co-PG. That's part of why I was so excited when we got him. He's a great play-maker. Herb has already started making Jamal more of a distributor, let's hope it continues.
2) I agree about starting Sweetney. Nazr is just killing himself out there right now, he needs a rest. (and, DUH, we should sign Jamal Sampson to be the backup for Sweets and Kurt while Nazr rests)
3) If the goal is really to try for the playoffs, then I agree. But if they're going to use him for more than 20 minutes, it's stupid.
4) I disagree with this. People already have too many ideas about Zeke taking over as head coach. Travel with the team, sure, but don't start acting like a coach.
5) I agree with this somewhat. Herb should be given a chance and he is doing an admirable job keeping the team together. But I think if there's a chance to bring Phil JAx in here, star-phuching though it may be, you have to TRY. Also, Flip wouldn't be a horrible idea. Screw Larry Brown. That guy couldn't figure out how to use Amare, Lebron, Melo and Wade during the Olympics? Why do people respect this idiot? Detroit got lucky last spring and got to play three teams in a row hurting from injuries in the East and then watched the Lakers selfishly self-destruct. The Pistons are a good team, but Brown is totally over-rated. I hate him.
Isiah needs to make Herb a real candidate for the job with Phil and Flip. If Herb can get the team to play defense and get Marbs to buy into a system where Jamal runs the point half the time, I say Herb will have proved himself. If anyone can get THIS team to play defense, they deserve to be coach of the year.
Don't worry, Josh Boone isn't coming out. Just read a little bit about him and you will understand why, plus his mother has already taken out a maximum insurance policy, as has CV and Rudy Gay. So they can develop and stay at their choice without fear of injury. Josh is staying because he is on pace to finish his degree. he's not much different from ok4 in tersm of intelligence, he had a 1300+ SAT and is on the 3 year plan.
Jamal needs to get stronger, the Knicks need another solid PG so Craw can play combo. Right now with the way Penny is playing, they are pretty much set for next year since Penny has another maximum contract year, why not get the value out of him? Im confident that we will find a younger G who can play a nice role here. thats probably down on the need list, because those types you can get.
I think our primary needs is a power 3 man who can defend and a post player. Pretty much anything to upgrade 3-4-5, that is the priority.
Again, I hope we can do what we can to try to get another 1st round pick--perhaps 2 to expedite the process.
Im pretty much set at this point as
A-win the lottery and pick Bogut-no possible trade
B-win spot 2-3 would have to wait to see who is actually coming out
C- draft position 6-10 Either Sheldan Williams, Chris Taft or Joey Graham or better yet, we acquire a pick and are able to bring in 2 of them. My picks would be Graham and Williams.
D-attempt to acquire a speed G like Guilermo Diaz or Louis Williams
Im pretty much hoping that we have something like what the Bulls had, 3-4 high caliber rookies who can energize the team.
you know spend some extra $$$$ on teams willing to sell their pick, there are always a few, or offer up picks down the line for one today.
