He compared Eddy Curry's stint with the Knicks to his return to Chicago 2 years ago...Obviously, he's very bitter about not being part of the game anymore...No need to hate so blatantly. Had he said he didn't like the trade, it woulda' been a different story (whats not to like? New York loses almost NOTHING)...It's just funny to see everyone saying what they think is gunna happen, how the players will react, etc. We'll see how the team fares, THEN we can make an educated opinion...What Pippen was doing is flat out hating. same thing he did when Kobe scored 81...I never knew he was that typa' person until I started reading his lame ass blogs... ::)

Obviously we'll have to see how it plays out. Maybe Marbury and Francis will be tight like bert & ernie, but i don't see it. And I think Isiah is on crack. Seriously. His payroll is over $130 million dollars this year!! If Isiah has that type of payroll and the Knicks don't make the playoffs, then he lost. If you are gonna rebuild, you should accept a couple years of mediocrity, dump your big contracts, get a lottery pick, and build around him. (See Orlando). Isiah is spending and spending, but he ain't got shit to show for it. He'll lose his job soon if the Knicks don't turn it around quick. He dumped Penny whose contract was expiring for even bigger contracts? Eddy Curry is good, and could evolve into a premier player. But he's an irregular heart beat away from being 6 feet deep. The Bulls obviously didn't like what the doctors had to say about his condition or else they would have kept him. Good ole Zeke took him though.
Francis and Marbury are both shoot first point guards. When both are playing, neither will fit the role of a true "1". You think Larry Brown, who is a PG guru is gonna like that? Why is Francis even on the trading block? You think it has anything to do with the fact that he refuses to re-enter games after he sits the bench for a while?
Ironically, you claim Pippen is hating, and in the same breath you admit you're still mad cuz he wasn't licking Kobe's nuts when he got 81. Tell me you see the humor here.
And if this is such a good deal, post up some articles by analysts that are praising Isiah on this trade. You won't find it.

You DO NOT have a clue about what you're saying. Knicks lost practically nothing in return for a premier player who can play both guard positions. Not saying that Francis is amazing or anything, but his value is definitely high...Knicks can even trade him in the off-season for a different big name who can help...But as for now, there is nothing to hate on, as Pippen was doing, because they haven't even played yet...I am not mad at Pippen, I don't even give a fuck, it was just funny that the few articles I've read from him this year have been hate articles...LOL
And last but not least, your requested article praising the trade (even though I dont think the trade deserves praise, I just think it was a decent trade):

Francis CAN'T play the 2. Orlando tried it and he doesn't play well without the ball. And they won't be able to trade him for another big name, don't you think Orlando would have done that if they could?

so are u "hating" on Pippen? lol. Everytime someone says something negative, that doesnt automatically make it "hating". Some people are so confused with that word. I think thats why u throw it around SO much.
h cottie is bac-tive?:
It's so crazy that it might work....i think that is along the lines of what isiaih said in reference to the trade
I believe that whatever happens this season with the knicks wont cost isiaih his job, you gotta give him at least one or two more years to prove himself, i also believe that him and larry brown will get together in the off-season and get this team on the right path...they're still a couple good moves away from being a contender...the talent is there.

in reference to all the pippen comments. i dont think he's being a "hater", from what i've read he gives Kobe his props. "I would say Kobe is the most polished of all of them as far as being able to handle the ball and create his own shot and opportunity" (doesnt sound like hatin to me) BUT THEN AGAIN he is the same guy who said this about Kobe after getting accidently elbowed by Sheed in the 2001 playoffs:
--- Quote ---"He's got bruised ribs? Which side? Aww, he's trying to be like Mike," Pippen said, referring to former teammate Michael Jordan's effort in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals against Utah, when he scored 38 points for the Chicago Bulls despite battling food poisoning.
"He wanted to come out and have a heroic performance after saying he had bruised ribs," Pippen said. "It didn't look like he had bruised ribs. He didn't find a shot he didn't like. He wasn't hurt that bad."
Bryant, who has often expressed deep respect for Pippen, admitted he was disappointed by the remarks, but said he realized his opponent was probably just trying to get into his head.

I believe the Pippen blog Nik's talking about Pippen "hating" is this one...... http://www.nba.com/blog/blog30.html
