Not even close.</div> When Isiah got here, the Knicks had old, overpaid players and a salary cap over $100 million. So all of Isiah's spending was to acquire young players which we desperately needed. If Isiah stood pat we would have been in the same predicament one way or another. Talentless with free cap space or talented with no cap space. I don't think the payroll is that big of deal. It's going down by 50 million this summer and another 40 million in two years. His only terrible moves were his free agent signings.
<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> His only terrible moves were his free agent signings.</div> It's true, his drafts have been solid. He's earned an extension because the team plays like a team. And all the Nate haters should realize that the confidence/swagger he has is something few players have and once he gets more accustomed to the game and humbled a bit, that will be a huge asset. Any time you have a guy who's 5'9" play like he's 6'5" that is a good thing. He's going to be a factor in this league like it or not.

The guy is a thug. He will want to be the number 1 guy for the Knicks. Believe this. Put him on any team that doesn't involve Isiah, he would spend a lot of time on the bench or not make the team at all. The guy is a circus act.
