Knicks73, I cannot agree more. Somehow people still think that Isiah has a good basketball eye. Then how come he has destroyed this team. He did ruin the team on his own. Here's why: Every player currently on the team was one that he drafted, acquired via trade, or signed from free agency. Every trade has worked against us and when we acquired the players we wanted, we would also receive another bad contract of some washed up player in return, like when we got Penny with Cancerbury. The Suns just used that clearing of money to sign Steve Nash that summer. Like you said, QRich was banged up constantly way before he got here. And Francis' trade could be worse than the Starbury one. We traded a nice young draft pick in Ariza and Penny's expiring contract for another bad contract that had a couple of years still remaining. Plus, we already had another selfish point guard (Babybury) on the team already. And you are absolutely right about Balkman. Yes, he is a defensive player which we need, but like I have been saying since he was drafted, how do you pass up on the steal of the draft in an area that we needed in Marcus Williams when he was literally in our hands? How?? Zeke was clueless as to what he was doing. He did not draft based on needs, but on what players he likes. Balkman would have been available by the next draft pick we had, which was the last of the 1st round, and we could have had them both. Every player on this team is one dimensional; they either can only play D (Balkman) or don't play D at all and are me-first (everyone else). Ariza, Lee, and Chandler were the only smart draft picks. Nate was a good one, but he cannot start or play as a PG and he is too small to play SG. He is a great energy spark off the bench but you cannot judge him based on the half a season he played heavy minutes. Still, he is better suited as a 6th man as a spark plug. But, Isiah is entirely responsible for how far we have fallen b/c he assembled every piece of this pathetic group of crybaby drama queen scrubs. At least he is fired as GM and coach and we do not have to watch them play anymore.
