Re: Babcock / Isiah
Uh, what?
He gave up scraps for Curry. Tim Thomas is suddenly "so much"? Are you kidding me?
I know everyone loves to bash Isiah, but he has increased the talent of his club greatly. And brought in Larry Brown..who is regarded as one of the best coaches in the league.
As posted in the Curry thread:

SG Houston
G/F QRichardson
G/F Ariza
F Lee
PF Rose
PF/C CFrye
PF ADavis
PF MoTaylor
C JJames
C ECurry
You're telling me that isn't a significant improvement?
btw, Babcock is terrible. It's one thing to draft Arajuo 8th overall, ahead of Igoudala and other quality players. And sure, Charlie V was probably drafted 15 spots too early..but the worst thing Babcock did was sit on his hands and let Donyell Marshall play out his contract last year when teams were willing to give us SOMETHING for him. Picks, cash, prospects, whatever. And oh yeah, he traded Vince Carter for a bucket of fried chicken.
