I have to ask, what the heck is Isiah Thomas doing? Why is he courting the likes of Strom Swift and Kwame Brown?????????????
Both of these players have great potetnial, but have failed to lived up to it. Would Jerry West be willing to let Swift go if he was that good. Would Washinton let a 7 footer in Brown go if he was any good? Both of these players have what we call, potential. Keep in mind that if potential were as drug then every GM in the league would be in rehab.
I loved and applauded his first moves when he joined the Knicks. Let's recap:
Trade several previously untradable and un-exciting players (Ward, Eisley and a total bust in Marcel Lampe) to get Marbury (while not perfect he was a major improvement). And Even Penny gave us some good time off the bench.
Traded Van horn for T. Thomas and Mohammed, the main objective was Mohammed (god move).
Sign and trade for Jamal Crawford (I also like this move)
Why would you trade Mohammed (our one true center) for Malik Rose, who I do love for his locker room leadership and attitude. We also got a draft choice in the process. Now I would not question this trade except that we just traded our best front court player K. Thomas for Quentin Richardson. I like RIchardson, but I am concerend about our front court or lack there of one. So we trade K. thomas and we are looking at Swift and Brown????? Big mistake. Just more playters looking to get overpaid by New York.
Also, I like the pick of Channing Frye a lot. But let's not get carried away, he is not and never will be Patrick Ewing. He is a good offensive big man, but and I say but, is questionable. How does a 6 11" guy who is that good, only pull down 7.6 rebounds a game????? Reminds me a lot of a guy named Raef LaFrentz. Hopefully Frye is better, but if you think he is our savior or a player we can build around you are sorely mistaken.
If I was Thomas (Isiah) I would get Houston off the books with the new CBA one time exception. And I would let T. Thomas and Penny's deal expire after this year and come off the books. That will take about $45MM per year off the books.
