now!

Thanks for the heads up

Except Layden blew a bigger opportunity than Isiah has had. Camby and Nene, Wilcox, or Amare would have set this team for years. Isiah has been stuck with cleaning up Layden's mess. although granted, he may be making it worse. But we don't know that for sure yet.

IT isnt perfect, but dont be ignorant and say he is anywhere near as bad as Layden. lets get serious for a minute ok all you IT haters. he has brought a chance for a good future hear, with marbury, crawford, ariza the 2 1st rounders, a developing sweetney, and expiring deals for over the summer as well as a chance for landing a real coach. the knicks are far better off than they were before with layden. Has IT been perfect, no, but there aren't any GM's that are, but he has done an admirable job when you look at the mess he inherited. we werent goin anywhere with layden and now with isiah we are at least POSSIBLY goin in the right direction.

Don't give Isaiah credit for Sweetney. Layden drafted him.

Like Fish said, Layden drafted him but he's Isiah's project. Layden did nothing for Sweetney. He kept him on the IR. Isiah freed up playing time for him and hired a trainer (Aguirre) for him.

That is such BS. Cause Sweetney even said he was in no shape to play in the begining of last year cause of his dad's passing. He said he was depressed and gained weight. So stop with Layden just throwing him on IL and not caring about him. Cause like i said Sweetney admits he was not ready.

If you're going to credit anyone for Sweetney, credit Aguirre.

give me a F break. Give any credit to Sweetney. Sweetney made himself a dominant CBB player and his dad died just as the season started as a 20 YO kid who can put on weight easily. Ultimately its up to the player to work hard. every team has instructors, but its the player who does the work.

Isiah Thomas your no Joe Dumars. I think Isiah has no vision for what a team should be. He is making sure that by the time he leaves NY they are no threat to his new team that he takes over. The man is killing this franchise with his lack of vision. He is adding one loser after another. And now everyone on the board is jumping up and down about two draft picks that are going to be the bottom of the pack. Everyone thinks that Isiah is gonna pull a rabbit out of a hat just like Ariza when that can be chalked up as just Lady luck at play. Now say Isiah does pick a nice palyer with the picks are the KNicks really going to be contenders with a bunch of young players probably not until they are three to four years into their career. Not to mention how they treat players that are young. Just look at the way Sweetney is treated he should have been starting from the begining of the year if they were rebuilding. Ariza should have been starting after the way he performed during his stint when TT was out. Sorry folks but this oragnization isn't going anywhere any time soon and IT along with Layden are pretty much thrown dirt on the coffin that is 6 feet under which is the Knicks.

Isiah fooled a lot of people, including me but now I see what this cat is up to and it makes absolutely no sense what he is doing. He is just as bad if not worse than Layden if that ever was possible.
