The biggest issue with the trade is that the Knicks could've gotten more back if they weren't insistent on dumping bad contracts in the trade, it made sense at the time but in hindsight Perry and Mills should've just gotten back the best prospects they could've at the time. Someone like Marvin Bagley could've been on this team if the FO played it's cards right. shyt, the Knicks wouldn't have been in that position if they never signed THjr in the first place

. I'm sorry but I can't help but reflect on the past few years and all of the missed opportunities and fukked up trades, my patience has ran thin and I feel like it has for more of the Knicks fanbase, that's why we're up in here aggy after 2 games played

If the team can't pull it around or if Mills and Perry can't pull of a slick trade or two, then they should be the ones to go. I don't think this should all fall on Fizdale, regardless of what offense you install, sometimes players are gonna just regress and do what's natural to them(especially when the pressure is on), like turning into an iso-ing black hole for example. If the margin of error is so low that Fizdale has to coach a perfect game for the Knicks to win then the blame should fall on the people who constructed the team, not the coach because that kind of standard really isn't fair.I was impressed the team punched back and even took the lead tonight, other Knicks teams from this decade probably just lay down and die, and I think that's just as much of a reflection of the coach as it is of the players. Give Fiz a team, then we can accurately judge him.
