When the Knicks lost their home opener to the Celtics, I felt that this year would not be as great as it would be. During the season I did not see this team as title contender or a playoff contender. The team is so inconsistent. Their defense is soft all around especially with the backcourt. Everyone in New York is thirsting for a championship in basketball, and my friend that day will be so special. with that said, the future is much brighter than the present. Isiah's plan is long term.
Listen, we have the highest payroll in the league, with a team the is wing men oriented. Isiah inherited an already over the cap team that had players that weren't even worth of metioning. I think Isiah is making questionable moves to get the players he wants such as Marbury, Crawford, and Mohammad. Other expensive players such as Penny, TT, and JYD were not in his plans. With all the moves he made the only plus player he got was JYD b/c of his defense. TT, Penny, Houston, and maybe Moochie are definitely in his plans (maybe Kurt also). He wanted to get certain players and he had to pay a price. I thnk he has his explosive backcourt that he wanted. Now he just needs to fill in the gaps with defensive players and hopefully one of those players can give a surprising offensive punch. Also I really think the EDUCATION OF SWEETS is so important. He his the only player with a post game. He has to play more minutes. Anyway Isiah's plan is long term we just have to watch the Knicks for what they are and just wait.
