Honestly, I don't follow the NBA enough to even try to assess these trades. For that reason, I have nothing bad to say about Isiah...
I just think it's weird that a Marriotti can basically slander Scott Layden on TV, while those other fools (The Max idiot, the Andy Pettite look alike and the others), just stood there and laughed and agreed like little sheep dogs.
Isiah has no one to answer to but his bosses, so as long as he trying to win more games, that's all that matters.
As far as Marriotti is concerned, you are right, he an ass.
Marriotti is same man that called Dick Butkus a disgrace for going to the XFL...By the way, saw on ESPN Classic, that Chicago of the NFL dumped Butkus like a sack of spit, the minute his knees went.
Anyway, who the F does that dude think is bullying all these sports figures, for his mere amusement? I guess slander doesn't apply when Marriotti speaks.
You right, he's a politically correct fool.

Maritotti is a tool, and anybody who appears on that program in that format loses any credibility. Then again, credibility in sports journalism died with Will McDonough.
As far as white players in the NBA? I wouldn't place one of them in my top 30. Nowitzki is the best of them, and he's disgusting, weak, soft, and begged out of the playoffs last year. Pathetic. [/b][/quote]
The center on the Pistons, Okur (or something) is a decent player. And he was a second round pick. But Thomas is trying to upgrade the roster, and if the better players are not white players, so be it. I would love Nowitski, but the Knicks don't have something to trade for him. Tim Thomas is a more athletic player then KVH, and if he gets motivated by playing near his hometown, we got the better of this deal.
