If Isiah is allowed to make another trade... 

Post#1 » by Bill Bradley » Fri Jan 4, 2008 1:02 am

...I'm boycotting the Knicks altogether. I won't watch or go to another game until the Isiah era is over, and will stop posting on this board.

Those of you proposing Artest trades are driving me nuts. The notion that Isiah should be allowed to make another desparation move that will involve getting rid of youth, only improve us enough to ruin our pick, and instill unrealistic hope in homeristic fans is just too much for me to take.

No more trades until the Isiah era is over!

Bye Bye Bill - you slowly became one of my favorite posters to read... but Dolan hates you (meaning fans) much more than he will ever hate Isiah.

I am 100% fine with trades. Stipulations:

Lee, Balkman, Nate should not be used and should be signed long term at reasonable amounts. If Nate or Balkman had to be used, that would be ok if it got other criteria met.

We cant trade draft picks. Period (exception is for ELITE caliber player that couldnt be passed up). Its burned us way too many times.

We should seek expiring contracts, where ever possible, for our larger contracts (Zach, Curry, Crawford). I would entertain keeping Crawford or Curry if it made sense.

Thats about it.

That is like saying I am 100% fine with britney spears raising another child.

crack cocaine, whiskey and methamphetamines should not be used during pregnancy, and after child birth in reasonable amounts. If whiskey or meth had to be used it would be ok if it got other criteria met.

We should seek basic child safety, wherever possible, for her older children. I would entertain Britney homeschooling her children if it made sense.

You couldn't get a bag of golf balls for nate or Balkman and I don't even know if you could get that for them. They both have absolutely no value to any GM in the NBA.
