I like ross bit i would take drummond over him in a heart beat even if we already have JV.

Or ( im cheating a bit) trade bosh for gsw. 009 draft pick (curry)

Best: draft derozan

Move I would take back: Break up of the 2011 championship team (aka I would resign Tyson Chandler)

Best move: Signing Parsons (still too early to judge but I like the fact we got a young up and coming player in FA for once)

-The worst thing the Raptors ever did was draft Andrea Bargnani. Not so much for how good/bad he played but for everything else that came with it. Drafting a player that played the same position as our best guy, The fact that they tried to become this international team, The fact that they were gonna take LA (Boshs boy) and didn't, the idea that BC took Bargs because he was tryna help out his fellow Italian...Lets not forget the coddling they showed him that clearly could not have sat well with his peers and created bad blood with the coaching staff...for all I know Id probably love Leo Rautins if I didn't have to repeatedly listen to him talk about that 7 footer out there

-Firing Bryan Colangelo

That wasn't in the past five years though.

Hiring Masai was the best thing we've done in the past five years

Not trading bosh was the worst thing we did

Hiring Mike D'Antoni over Phil Jackson.

For the Knicks it's easily maxing out Amare (then picking up the team option on Billups, then amnestying him under new management instead of amnestying Amare).

If there were 1 move I'd be happy with it's bringing in Jackson as president. Love the Chandler trade for us, signed a good coaching staff (well, Fish is an unknown but our assistants check out well and I have hope for him), got Melo back at less than the max, and the Jason Smith signing/Acy & Outlaw trade were minor moves but still solid. Can't ask for anything more, though I'd hope some tax-evading moves are in the works.

trading for Howard and Nash, should've traded Bynum to the 76ers for Iggy. Bryant Gasol and would've been pretty UNDER PJ

Bryant's deal

Worst - Trade for Nash

Best - idk getting Lin and a 1st for free

Randle has yet yo play so idk if he's a good choice or bust. We shall see

For the Raptors, he's balling out right now, but for me I might want to reverse the Lowry. The first pick that was used to get Lowry ended up being 12th in the 2013 NBA draft. Masai was in extremely hot pursuit of Giannis and exhausted all of his options into trying to acquire him, and didn't get him because he didn't have the assets nor a pick. If Giannis ends up becoming good for a really long time we're going to be looking back at that transaction as another terrible Colangelo move.

I'm not saying this was the worst move at all by any stretch of the imagination, but that if there was one move I'd undo it could be that.

Hopefully Bruno can soften that blow.

Best move: Bruno.

Eddy curry trade set the Knicks back so hard.

Traded the picks that became Noah and Aldridge. Would have had enough capspace for just under 3 max contracts in 2010. He was an important piece in the Melo trade but god. Worst move of Isaiah's many terrible moves.

Amnestying Mike Miller. I feel like that had a lot to do with LeBron's leaving. He loved playing with Mike and Mike was a major contributor in both championships. Amnestying him was purely an economic move.

Wizards

Trading 2009 #5 pick for expirings of Mike Miller and Randy Foye, instead of drafting, oh, say Stephen Curry or Demar Derozen, or maybe getting back a later pick and nabbing Ty Lawson.

If that's considered too far back, then the whole 2011 draft: Vesely at #6, instead of Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, or Kemba Walker; Singleton at #18, instead of Faried; Shelvin Mack at #34, instead of Chandler Parsons. Neither Vesely, Singleton, or Mack are still with the team.

Taking Otto Porter over Noel may someday be considered the worst move. Too early to tell.

King Stannis · Post #34 » by **King Stannis** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 6:53 am

Not trading Ron Harper for Danny Ferry.

ballfan5 · Post #35 » by **ballfan5** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 3:06 pm

Knicks giving Stoudemire a fully guaranteed max contract with the health porblems he has would be my worst

Best would be having Phil Jackson take over

blind prophet · Post #36 » by **blind prophet** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:42 pm

Signing Carl Landry in Sacramento.

Higga · Post #37 » by **Higga** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:45 pm

Trading our 09 1st rounder for Mike Miller and Randy Foye.

Even though we ended up with Wall the next year, we passed up on Rubio and Curry. Still sickens me to this day.

j-ragg · Post #38 » by **j-ragg** » Wed Sep 10, 2014 5:53 pm

Worst - firing Stan van Gundy to appease that gigantic child who still wanted out after.

Best - hiring Hennigan to take over, trading Courtney Lee basically for VC and Ryan Anderson.

Taking Flynn over Curry. Even if Curry refused to work out for us.

I cant even say Eddy Curry without a little vomit coming in my mouth after. That may be one of the worst moves in NBA history.
