Okay, explain a few things to me since its clear you cant respond to my previous posts in a cogent way:
Trill..... I am like everyone else on this KO board, to debate (not argue)
over a topic u go way over board on the subject plus the name-calling
still show the childish personality within u. I refuse to be around
friends/family/co-workers that mention bad/negative things about other
friends/family/co-workers behind their back, and is afraid to mention it "face
to face" with that person around. This is the internet.
How would Marbury and N8 coming off the bench be an effective lineup?
The longest winning streak the Knicks have had in the past 10 years were
with "shoot-first Marbury & Nate da Great" as starters, 6-games.
Don't they play similar styles and don't both need to dominate the ball?
The only thing the two have in common are being combo-guards who luv to
switch roles on oponents. The similarity of the switch between 76ers
"Snow & Iverson".
Do you put any of the blame on Marbury? Are you aware of the fact that he has caused trouble all across the league and is so good that he is now playing in China?
I spent my childhood in Brooklyn, my babysis is still friends with the Starbury
family. I liked Marbury as a player but not on my Knick team. I was
angry about the trade for Marbury b/c I knew KVH was going to be traded
next. On the business level Marbury did bring back 60% of the season ticket
holders that quit on Layden. Marbury is more SG than PG, his moves and shot
selection were the same as Allan Houston.
How does making it to the playoffs ensure we could have traded 3-4 contracts?
After a 23 win season we had the Wolves, Grizz, Clippers, and Warriors,
calling for our two top scoring players Zach & Crawful.
If we wouldve had a .500 season, the media wouldve put all the Knicks
whoa's on Isiah Thomas bad coaching of players by refusing to play the
young players with the veteran players, and giving all his pet players more
playingtime than they deserve.
Walsh drafts badly? Hmmm...
Reggie Miller at I think 11th
Gallo
Nabbed Al Harrington with the 25th pick
Plus don't you cry in almost every thread about Hill another Walsh draft pick?
Yea he is horrible! :thumbsup:
u are mentioning a GM/turn President with 22 years of experience, within
those 22 years those are the only names you could come up with out of
44 draft picks?
And yes, I did grade Walsh with a B average on the 2009 picks for buying the
Douglas pick, and picking the best available tough rebounding bigman in the
draft to add to Dantoni's 6-man rotation of a 32 win season.
Both draft picks were raw NBA ready players for 18 to 24 mpg last season.
This season Jordan Hill will accept sitting on the bench most of the season
getting a few minutes here and there while coach Adelman give the majority
of bigmen playingtime to Yao/Brad Miller/Scola/and rookie Patterson.
That's helluva big difference from PF-Lee/SF-Harrington/and SF-Gallo getting
all the bigmen playingtime minutes.
P.S. You are still ignoring the fact that we were trading players to clear space and D'ant could have made the playoffs with Zbo/Crawford had we decided to go that route. Not only did we take back inferior talent with expiring contracts but the team chemistry was disrupted with each trade. I know none of that matters since your hatred for D'ant is just the latest in your pessimistic outlook that you yourself admitted started in 1999
u are ignoring the fact that the only good/decent trades Walsh made was
the Crawful & Q.Richardson trade. We needed bigmen so Lee/Zach/Chandler
dont get tired/aghausted in the 4th quarter for a win.
What u fear to realize is Lee & Zach out-played the majority of bigmen
tandem oponents in the 23 win 2007-8 season, their biggest downfall
was having Q.Brick/Crawful/and (26 mpg) Fred Jones throwing up brick shots
and being the worst SF/SG/PG combination in the league.
Do u actually think Dantoni wouldve allowed Donnie Walsh to trade Gallo in
his rookie (back injury) season on the trading deadline?
so dont think Dantoni did not have a big say so in every one of Walsh trades,
especially accepting Mobley 2 year contract for failing the physical with a
career injury. We needed 6.6 Mardy Collins defense and short jumper.
I dont agree with a short rotation of "role-players" especially when it comes to forcing players to perform out of their positions.
I too, would not have played defense if I was Lee, and I wouldve jacked up alot of brick shots and stop slashing to the hoop if I was Chandler.
