Neutral: Depending on how the draft goes (youth and size - no trades) I will become more of a supporter. If the picks get traded, or another undersized PF (Warrick) gets drafted I will switch over to disaster.

Neutral too. I agree and to add to that, if we use the expiring contracts to pick up the next shandon, eisely, spoon I will switch to a major disaster!

I'm pretty sure nyk4ever feels the same too

Supporter. I got my boy zeke's back all the way

cautioiusly optomistic fence sitting cynic sarcastically supporting rebuilding with slight pessomistic overtones leaning toward median poplulist views.

In otherword. No Starphuching, I can live with a youth movement, but keep doing patchwork rosters and Im going the way of Brooklyn.

I give them a few years, but I have decided the Knicks need to win me over or I defect to the Nets and demote the Knicks to 2nd class status.

I am becoming less a fan and more a disgruntled customer. Still a customer, but a growing fragile loyalty.

ok, look, in the NBA, coaches are hired to be fired.

isiah did not make allan houston's contract, nor did he make houston's crappy knees. isiah did not force TT to play like complete crap the entire year. Once IT saw that Nazr was a bum and that this team was not going anywhere, IT cashed Nazr in for two first rounders, which is not bad, even if they are #30 both years - more trading chips.

in the NBA, it is hard to turn a team around. you usually have to tear it down and rebuild or trade for jason kidd, nash, a mentally healthy rasheed wallace (who was supposed to be coming to NYK for the MLE before the Pistons got him) or shaq while ALREADY having the other pieces in place. AND you have to have drafted a superstar.

Honestly, to turn the Knicks around, we've got to draft a superstar to fit in with the current team. Probably the best move is to get Bynum, because we need someone at the Center position desperately - and so does everyone else. I can not see Bynum (or Green) lasting to #8. Why would any team ahead of us pass on him? Everyone needs a center, especially Utah (4), Portland (5), Bucks (6), Toronto (7). What teams don't need is another McGrady clone, who will score tons but not be the "next dominant force" now that Shaq is clearly on a huge decline.

Even if we do draft Green, we'd be screwed over with the Center position, the hardest spot to fill. Athletic SGs and SFs are wonderful, but unless your name is Jordan, and your GM can find you Pippen, they are worthless. There's about 15 current amazing NBA SGs/SFs who Green can only dream of becoming that are not playing in the playoffs still.

I hope we get into the top 3 and draft Bynum.

Disaster!

I'm going by my judgements of his moves at the time he made them. I was in favor of the Marbury, Crawford, TT/Nazr and then Nazr for 2 # 1's, and the signings of Baker, DerMarr and Butler. And obviously the drafting of Reezy.

I think the team was done in by 3 factors this year - H2O's knees, TT's head and whatever the hell was going on with Baker. I don't blame Zeke for any of those 3. Who thought Houston was not going to be able to play? WHo could have predicted TT playing as he did? And Baker, huge huge disappointment that he didn't come back from heart surgery and rehab and at the very least recapture what he did early in the previous season with Boston. If those 3 had played the way they could have been naturally expected to, then I think Isiah would have delivered us a 47-50 win team this year.

Mild supporter. I like some of his moves - some I didn't like. The reason why I say I'm a mild supporter is that he made two moves that I liked a great deal and only one that I disliked a great deal. The moves that I liked were the trade for Marbury and drafting Ariza. The draft for Ariza was a brilliant move that has only begun to pay dividends. The move I particularly disliked was hiring Wilkens when Fratello was available.

I am with nalod here, cautiously optimistic, but I am going to support zeke, outside of the Mo Taylor deal, I like all the other deals.... the Taylor deal is still up in the air for me..

maybe its easier to support Isiah when their spending doesnt affect your ability to enjoy them. Few things rival being at Knick games in the garden
