Something that I forgot to blog about this weekend was the new coaches of the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks. First off with the Knicks with the hiring of Mike D'Antoni, I think anytime you get a guy whose won 254 games in four years, its usually a good pick up. I thought they overpaid for D'Antoni because he has not done anything in the playoffs. Granted that was out west where the entire conference is stacked and you get to the East where three good teams are out there. Also people have made the comment why didnt he go to the Bulls where he had the perfect fit but D'Antoni would get pushed by Paxson just like Kerr and Reinsdorf is a prick. Simple as that. I think he will end up completely changing the make-up of this team with them drafting fifth (Projected), they can get a guy like Jared Bayless or if they move up to one/two getting Rose/Beasley. That will start a young foundation and maybe in two years getting LeBron James.
The Mavericks went with the guy who I wanted to see the Bucks get in Rick Carlisle. I think anyone the Mavs get is not going to last very long as for the team is getting old. Jason Terry is becoming past his prime, Josh Howard is not as good when he is looked as a main scorer. Dirk seems to get hurt too much and they have no inside presence. The dumbest thing Mark Cuban ever did was trade for Jason Kidd. It has aged the team in so many ways. Unless moves are made, Carlislie is probably out in three years in my opinion. Charlie.
