After having a full 24 hours to think about this trade... I have come to the conclusion that my initial sentiments are still true.. THIS TRADE SUCKS (Unless of course they are trading Randolph as soon as possible).
I am so friggin tired of Knicks fans lust to win now. I hear Zach is better than Frye, outclasses Frye, he's only two years older than Frye and a much better player, an Upgrade... blah blah BULLSHIT!!! THere comes a time when you are building a team when you have to do just that BUILD! When one builds a house, they start with the bricks and concrete and sheet rock, but you dont throw away the sheetrock and get more bricks. Yes Bricks is needed for the most important part of the house, but that sheet rock is needed as well. ANd that is what this trade is like to me. Frye was the sheetrock. I don't care that he had a bad season this year, that shit happens, like i said in an earlier post, after last season, if this trade was made, any true Knick fan would have been sayin What the fuck is wrong with Isiah. But you of little faith want to parade around the post now as if Frye was a friggin bum who didn't have a banner rookie year. I hear people saying Randolph can hit a 20ft jumper, so what, how many of his points came with that 20 point jumper, and why give up a player who is known for his jumper for someone who can do it on occassion. There is nothing right about this trade, unless it results in another trade.
You're absolutely right. This trade does suck, unless he is moved for a player that will compliment Curry. Just because Randolph has better numbers than Frye, doesn't mean he will make the Knicks better. Randolph is exactly like Curry. He turns the ball over frequently, scores in the low post area and can't pass out of a double team. How is Marbury going to drive the lane with Curry and Randolph clogging it up? Doesn't Isiah realize this? This is a nightmare. All the Knicks needed to do was teach Frye how to play better defense (i.e. block shots).
I give the Knicks draft day a D-. I'm not happy with the pick either. Why do we need another Balkman and Jeffries? Morris Almond was available and addressed the Knicks needs better.
