You set the parameters... I set you straight:The Frankman said:Boston - Major trade for Ray Allen/KG. plus 2nd year of Rondo. That team was ready to compete bigtime when the season started already.
Phoenix - D'Antoni's 2nd year of "7SOL". 2nd year of STAT + Joe Johnson/Q-rich/Nash/Marion/Joe Johnson and a rookie in Leandro Barbosa
San Antonio- You trollin' now. Greatest intentional tank job in NBA history, that team easily could've made playoffs previous year. Nabbed Duncan.
Every team you mentioned was ready to go talentwise before the season started. Knicks talent doesn't even come close to these teams...
Boston: 24 to 66 (+42)The Frankman said:Nobody goes worst-to-first in the NBA.
Phoenix: 29 to 62 (+32)
San Antonio: 20 to 56 (+36)
And this is funny...
What season is this for D'Antoni in NY, again?D'Antoni's 2nd year of "7SOL"
Plus, if they had the talent in place, why didn't they win more games the year before? Not only didn't they win, none of them won more than 29. None of those teams had coaching changes, either.
