Actually Bosh has been quite about 25% better this year than last, but you are right Nick, a lot of it has to do with acquistions that Colangelo made.

“Then why did Toronto win 27 games last year with Chris Bosh, Chris Bosh, Chris Bosh? Why does Minnesota stink?”

it doesn’t mean it’s a sure thing, it just makes it much easier. the Cleveland GMs have been dreadful, arguably decidedly worse than Isiah, but LeBron is so good that he’s carried them to close to 50 wins anyway.

anyway, I’m done for now, I have a busy work weekend ahead. if we really are in serious danger of losing our #1 pick entirely as I posted about on the other thread, I’m not very happy.

Also, it’s far easier when you didn’t trade for other team’s garbage and pseudo stars. Who traded for, gave up multiple draft picks and built the team around these flawed players?

That is completely irrelevant because Thomas chose to bring in those decidedly flawed players.

Here is the point: nobody realistically expected Thomas to build a contender in a couple of season in New York, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect progress, and the Knicks have not made any. They have not improved their wins and have not put themselves in a position to improve their roster barring a miracle trade for Garnett. The Knicks are in the exact same situation they were in when Thomas took over, except all of their overpriced players are young and stupid instead of old and slow.

ludicrous. obviously Colangelo is a better GM than Isiah (and better than most of the other 28 guys in the league too), and just as obviously, it’s far far far easier to be a GM with a young stud superstar than when your best player is Marbury or Curry, two decidedly flawed players.

Chris Bosh has very little to do with it. The difference between the Raptors this year and the Raptors last year is not huge improvement from Bosh, but the addition of Anthony Parker, Jorge Bargajosa, Andrea Bargnani, TJ Ford, Rasho Nesterovic and to a lesser extent Juan Dixon, all of whom were brought in by Colangelo.

“Colangelo took 1/2.”

Chris Bosh, Chris Bosh, Chris Bosh. Colangelo has done a very good job so far, but HE INHERITED A YOUNG STUD SUPERSTAR. do you really not get how much easier that makes it?

Colangelo has done a great job. Anthony Parker has been a fantastic player for them. The WOW stats may lie, but they show he has been roughly three times as good as Steph. TJ ford is a nice guard too. Everyone he picked up with the exception of Bargnani has been productive, and the rook may turn it around yet.

I, for one, applaud Jon, because if he werent here, who the hell would we be left to argue with about Isaiah?

Drawn and quartered is a little extreme. I’d be satisfied with tar and feathered.

He’s got them to where they might crack 40 wins and get an 8 seed next year. Great job and it took all of three and a half years to do it. Colangelo took 1/2.
