10 Ways to Fix the 2-8 Knicks

15
Vote

by Kwasster07

The fans can keep on saying "Fire Isiah," but it is not as simple as that. Thus, I have proposed 10 ways to fix the Knicks, and I'm wondering what you guys think of them:
Marbury and Thomas's relationship hasn't gone as smoothly this year as this picture displays. - NBA.Com
Marbury and Thomas's relationship hasn't gone as smoothly this year as this picture displays. - NBA.Com


1. Pay other teams to agree to a draw.

2. Tell Owner Jim Dolan to stop going to Knick games for a while, and just to Rangers games, to see if that changes their luck.

3. Designate one fan each day to be in the starting five every night.

4. Have Isiah Thomas switch positions with Stephon Marbury. Dress Marbury in a suit, and Thomas in Knicks gear.

5. Knick players should give opposing teams the ball on purpose, so it won't be counted in the scoring book as a "turnover."

6. Pull a " Bill Belichick " and have some Knicks officials go to Orlando, and figure out what their "Magic" secret is to be 10-2.

7. Base the starting five on alphabetical order (last name) each night. Thus, one game start Mardy Collins, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry, David Lee, and Stephon Marbury. The next game, start the floor with Zach Randolph, Quentin Richardson, Nate Robinson, and I guess we could give Collins and Crawford another start here. This is to just increase our odds of committing more turnovers and foul more on the offensive side.

8. Have ArmChairGM user Manny Stiles come to the Knicks lockerroom and provide some motivational insight for this Knicks team, and how they can dish it out like his very own Phoenix Suns.

9. Have the Knick players watch more basketball video to prepare, than catching last night's Rangers game.

10. Practice, practice, practice.

I hope you guys agree and feel free to post any more solutions to this Knicks fiasco. And Happy Turkey day to you all!

That picture actually looks like Zeke's about to threaten to kill him, while continuing to smile so no one is the wiser.

12. Get them all neutered.

You said fix, right? That's the only solution I see at this point.

I was actually thinking of dogs - mainly because I actually had a dog named Zeke. And because I hate cats, but after that fight they had last week, cats work, too.  :-)

As for point #8, I DO KNOW what Isiah is doing... (note: check the date - I knew it way back on June 29, 2006) If they want motivation, bring back Sprewell!!!

Kwass said fix not _____ up further. HA. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. You'd be a great coach :-) I'm just killing time before the Duke/Marquette game.

That's key in MSG. At the rate they are playing, even if any one of us went in there to coach, the bright side is that there is nowhere to go but up.

Great article!, Firing Isiah wouldn't help, because the knicks problem will remain. Because they don't play defense, and they don't bring 100 percent

who's job is it to make sure they play defense and bring 100%? oh that's right Isiah. You could say it's just a matter of those players will never do that regardless of the coach, but then they should never have been on the team... something else that's also Isiah's fault.

All jokes aside, if they want to start somewhere, they should start with playing David Lee a hell of a lot more. Unloading Marbury is a must, and trading for Zach Randolph when they already have Lee and Curry was a huge mistake.

1. Get rid of Marbury at all costs. (They already took care of jalen rose and francis. they can't stop there)

2. David Lee should be starting. Randolph might be overall a better player, but he's not the hustler and team player that Lee is, and he doesn't have the passion or intensity. Also, his attitude is awful compared to Lee's. (Which leads to 3)

3. Dump Randolph. He's still young and talented, so they should be able to get something for him.

4. Find a cheap, yet usable point guard. Trading for a Luke Ridnour or Earl Watson shouldn't be too difficult, since Seattle is clearly reluctant to play either of them.

5. Don't give up on Jamal Crawford. He suffors from SMIS, which is short for Stephan Marbury Influence Syndrome. Get rid of the star, and you can find a gem in Jamal.

6. Most importantly, strip the management clean. Doesn't matter who it is. Fire the gm and the coach and start from scratch. It's okay if the season is lost. it's the knicks. no one will question it.

The problem with stripping the management and doing all these things to the Knicks is the actually problem, the Dolan Family can't be removed or changed, you're just stuck with them.
