alright time for the old moderator here to drop down from his post and get a little heated. i try to be neutral state my opinion and leave it at that without making too much of a ripple.. but here it goes...
THESE POSTS ARE EXACTLY WHATS WRONG WITH KNICKS FANS!
I know I started and its not the thread itself its the posts within. let me break it down for you guys. despire datruth who had a good answer and a few others who were in favor..
we can never agree on the isiah firing thing. good GM bad GM. we can never agree on crawford or marbury or robinson or randolph. we can never agree on curry. never agree on lineups and minutes. but we can all agree the chemistry on this team is garbage... the defense on this team is garbage... the overall makeup of this team is garbage. and we ALL hate losing.
WE HAVE A LOT, let me repeat that, A LOT of talent. dont get me wrong. every person on this team can do one thing.. or another. and usually its just one thing. SCORE.
so the second an idea is brought up where we get a large guard, SOLID defender and passer in Larry Hughes, usually leads his team in steals, doesnt need to score but can, to be effective and a solid rebounder and defender team player in Gooden and we barf all over it.
despite what you all think.. we cant get much for what we have! they might look like stars on THIS team and might be stars on other teams but NOT every team is jumping at the chance to acquire them PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
are Randolph and Craw better players say in talent ratings then Hughes and Gooden YES 100% better YES. but thats not what this team needs now. every good team needs pieces. and we have a lot of missing pieces! i personally think these two can fill some of those NOT ALL but some. if we were to have a Curry, Lee, Jeffries, Hughes, Marbury lineup. then maybe later a trade for Artest wed be a solid team with scorers (curry, Marbs, Nate) hustlers (Lee, Jeffries, Balkman) and defenders (marbs, artest, hughes) granted we keep them all during the trades.
you guys cant have it both ways. and you guys cant keep wishing for a fallen star (even tho weve had quite a few over the years). we need defenders. we need chemistry guys. role players. and at this point this team has none. so lets get off our high horses cause we are the 4th worst team in the nba? and lets start thinking logically here.
lets build a team. A TEAM. not individuals. LETS BUILD A TEAM.
