Does anyone understand what this team is doing? How can you NYK's fans take this anymore? Don't they realize that if they stop doing this and take a hit over the next three years that they can start over and build something for NY to rally around? Why do the Knicks want Theo Ratliff and Kenyon Martin? What are those players going to do to turn this team around? Does this organization have any goals? Does it even care? I am just flustered by this team...
How can we take it anymore? We cant. Thats why fans like me, who have always watched them even when they were losing in the past years, have stopped caring almost. This season I like almost dont care. But I stil care a LITTLE and still watch games, and you know why? Because NYK is in me, and you cant get it out. But GOD DAMN do they suck
Yeah I realize how bad the Knicks are. Read any of my posts on the old BBW and you'll see that. We can't play defense, can't make free throws, turn over the ball way too much and don't rebound well. Isiah brings in all these overpaid veterans who never contribute and who we end up trading down the road for lesser talent that is still overpaid. The only thing that keeps me around this team is the youth that has come in and shown us a glimpse of what the future could be in NY, that is as long as Isiah keeps them around. Other than that, I have no interest in this team and am frankly embarassed by their play night in and night out.
Stephon isnt doing anything for this team. He needs to be put somewhere else so he can enjoy playing basketball. As for NY, I dont know what they can do. Get a good rookie or something...possibly JJ Reddick?

Isiah has done good in drafting atleast.Yo by the way man, sign me up for that Arenas fan club
It's weird being from Boston and not hating a NY team. I really like the Knicks, I used to love the John Starks, Ewing, Anthony Mason Knicks and after watching those epic Bulls vs. Knicks battles of the mid-90's I never thought I would see the Knicks in the state that their in right now, man is it sad.

I have the History of the Knicks DVD and its awesome, but watching that stuff just makes me shameful about that Knicks today.. :no1:

He is still obsessed with bringing in big name stars to the team who make a lot of money but don't play well at all when they are in NY. I mean he is even bringing back the possibility of trading Frye to Denver for Kenyon Martin, which is ridiculous. As long as he is the GM of this team, we will never have the team that we want.
The main problem I think is Isiah. He has to understand that WE CANT WIN NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES. REBUILD GOD DAMNIT. WE HAVE PIECES TO MAKE IT WORK!

This team has been doing alot of trading lately. I dont't think it's bad but to me it looks like they want to start from the beginning and start a fresh team. I don't think it is such a bad idea. It's a good thing they are doing.

If this team wants to go anywhere for the next decade, they'll have to fire Zeke.
