I rather go the great team route, because you develop a system, chemistry, accountability and you can plug in players and keep the train rolling, even when guys get hurt... The knicks have two star players, but they are at the lowen end of the "star pole" at least right now.. and for me that is a problem... I don't like fighting fire with fire... and right now that is what we are doing... And when I look at that fire in miami....I just have my reservations..
I'm with you on this, but no one's hearing this right now. Really enjoyed watching the Knicks this year, even with all the frustrations of a young team maturing. They were a good young team that was going to get better. You're talking about Gallo's 2nd year really, Fields and Mosgov's 1st year, and the team's first year together. It's a shame they didn't get a chance to see what they could do. But I guess the popular thinking is they were never going to do anything noteworthy. So, now we got the Amar'e and Melo show and the scramble to throw pieces in there with what little assets we have. Is it a better situation? I think it's debatable but again, no one's hearing that right now.
The other thing is I'm not sure we had the type of organization or even the type of market to develop a team like that anyway.
