hey there knicks fan. isaiah made a lot of strong moves this past year and i'm sure he'll make strong moves over the summer as well. i'm not sure i agree with him moving a lot of young guys to acquire the players he got, but you can't blame him for wanting to win soon. getting starbury was really good. i like starbury.
i like frank williams. if isaiah wants to dump him, i would like to go after him.
not sure if kobe goes to NY, though. its possible because he thrives on big stages, but i don't think NY can afford him.

NY has a lot of money tied up and Kobe would cost too much. I think Isaih could possible pull a sign and trade with LA though. If that were to happen. Houston would most likely be involved

NY appears to be a poor man's LA lakers. they got a lot of all stars, but they're second rate allstars (kurt thomas, tim thomas, allan houston, vin baker, mutombo, etc..).
i'm not bashing NY, just stating some of their short comings. at this point in time, the celtics are behind them in terms of talent and experience.

I think they've held Houston for too long. They should've made a deal to move him awhile ago. Who they would get to replace him, I don't know, maybe Rip Ham

i believe houston could have made more of his career. more than he has up to this point. if only he could have found more success taking the ball into the paint. he's got a terrific outside shot, but not much other than that. peja was at that point up until this year. now peja has gone to another level. houston flirted in and out of that next level, couldn't quite stay at the higher level.

Possibly due to staying in NY. I think his career might have taken a different path in a different organization.
He's had one role on this team and it hasn't suited him.

houston could have served a big role with us.  his sharp shooting from beyond the arc would have been perfect for our system a few years ago. and with walker, pierce and houston, we would have had a high octane offense if we could have gotten a decent interior scorer. had we had a better GM (and an owner with a brain) during those 2 1/2 years obrien was coaching for us, who could have brought in guys like houston and zach randolph, we could have had a team capable of winning the east year in and year out. |

Could've got us past NJ too!
His contract though. That's the thing.

and that's always the case. overpaying for players.
that's why its important not to overspend on blount.

Yeah, we don't want to make Blount hard to move by giving him a big contract.

i'd go up to 2 million a year. that's double what he's making now.

Houston would most likely be involved It would take Houston.Mutombo and Tim Thomas to make the deal work. Plus, Malone will retire so LA will need a PF and a backup center whoever ny can offer. |
