Its even more funny when using that to compare him to Delonte West...a guy who was deemed expendable by a team THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.

Delonte isnt head and shoulders above anyone as a scorer in the NBA besides Ben Wallace. He is a career 11 ppg scorer. Come on.
The knicks didnt have a problem with getting rid of players that came back to bite them in the ass. It was the acquisitions that Isiah had trouble with.

PJ Carlisimo is one of the worst coaches in NBA history. Why he didn't play West at his natural position or eventually play him at all is frightening. If you watched the NBA and the playoffs this year and couldnt see that West is a very good player you are either blind or have slipped into the dreaded Scudszone. I just pray the Lakers dont fck it up today or against Denver so you cant weasel out with some hypothetical theory on why Cleveland or West arent worthy.
