OK here goes. What a mess. This trade makes the Isiah the worst GM in Pro Sports History! Or is it all a conspiracy?
My take on the next couple of years in New York.
Isiah Thomas is on the take from numerous sources. MJ hates the Knicks so much he is paying. All of Iaiah's team mates from his Detriot days are paying. Bill Simmons is getting great articles out of it so he is paying. Bernard King hated being traded to the Nets so he is paying. Phil Jackson can't believe he didn't get the coaching job in NY so he is paying. Anyone and everyone who hated the Knicks is paying.
Everybody is paying Isiah to make the Knicks as bad as possible.
The back court now has the two worst, shoot first, pass second point guards in the league. Backed up by a shoot first never defend guard in Crawford, as well as a 5'9" two guard who is classed as a point guard due to his height.
So the outcome is? Steph will refuse to pass to Francis, since Francis is shotting on every touch. Francis will start talking sh*t to Steph about not passing him the ball. Steph will start throwing baseball passes at Francis's head in an attempt to knock him out, just to shut him up.
Nate Robinson will work out that his only chance of playing is for both of them to get suspended by the team for fighting, so he spends his time at practice and in the change room going between Steph and Francis telling each of them the other thinks that they are selfish and that he thinks the one that he is talking too is better and should be getting all the shots. This leads to an inevitable looker room brawl by week 4. And an on court fight by week 7. Meanwhile Crawford is having such withdrawl from not getting enough shots he wakes up one morning and snaps, comes to training with a gun and threatens to shot "All yall, if I don't get my shots tonight"
Of the big guys (who right now must be in therapy) Eddy Curry is organising for a Pizza guy to be selling down under the basket so that he can get something to eat while the other guys are down playing offence. Jerome James is sitting on the end of the bench laughing so hard at his 3 year $8 Million per year contract that he can't enter the game due to stomache cramps. Mo Taylor is standing at mid court trying to hit his own teammates as they go by, yelling at the guards "to stop this sh*t". And Chaning Frye has worked out that there will be a ton of rebounds around the place and ends up setting a new NBA record offensive rebounds in a season. Isiah duely rewards him with a 5 year $12 Million per year contract after his rookie contract expires. He then blow's out his knee and needs a reco.
Jalen Rose has got it into his head that Larry Brown's plan to "play the right way" means that everything needs to be done with your right hand, and changes to shooting and dribbling with his right hand. After getting benched he takes a swing at LB and is suspended LB, then alowed to play by Isiah, then required to sub himself into the games because LB "refuses to talk to him anymore." Meanwhile Quienten Richardson is electing to sit out so that his next contract value won't go down due to the fact that he isn't touching the ball, and is never getting to shoot. And Qyntel Woods has get a delibetating case of Nintenoitis from his PSP, which he is playing on the bench and at trainnigs when he is subbed out. Which given he is young and this is LB's team is pretty much all the time.
Finally, Larry Brown has a nervous breakdown. He starts wetting his pants during games and sobbing incoherantly into his hands something about "playing the right way" and "if only I was in Detriot."
With his coach having a "time out" of his own at the Betty Ford clniic for massive alcohol addiction. Isiah Thomas's plans to coach the team, and his plan to really destroy the Knicks come true.
The players become so incenses about Isiah referring to his day playing in Detroit and how "he did things" that they refuse to turn up to a game. Leading to Isiah and the coaching staff needing to take the floor against the Lakers. Where Phil Jackson adds insult to injury and tell's the Lakers that Kobe will be putting on a Lisa Leslie type display and noby else is allowed to shoot. Kobe roll's for 198 and sets all kinds off records. But it back fires as even Kobe ends up want to break Wilt 'other unbreakable reord" and has no time for baskteball anymore.
Lastly, the fans of NY are so incensed that they riot and burn down MSG thus forcing the Knicks out of the league. The money that Isiah has been recieving for his destroying the Knicks is found out by the IRS and he hasn't declared it, and is sent to Court. He pleads guilty by temporay insanity. And due to the fact the nobody in NY thinks that anybody in their right mind would have made the trades Isaih made, he get's aquited.
