A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[K-Deini]

Yep, cause what’s better than 17 players that has accepted Losing

Better than drafting 8th and doing this all over again next season.

But let's trade for Bledsoe and win 29 games instead of 21

 

[storyteller]

Bledsoe is a solid PG, good when healthy with the ability to play some nice defense. But he doesn't fit our timeline, he adds wins in a season we don't need them and for the Suns to just make him stay home makes me nervous about his presence in a similar young struggling locker room. If we could get him for nothing but minimal assets or to dump a longer running contract, I'd absolutely consider it because I do think a quality PG can help our young developing guys avoid some bad habits that come with constantly being asked to go one on one (also because I still think we're bottom three even with him thanks to our weak coaching and poorly fitting together roster). But I wouldn't give up a single quality asset when Bledsoe doesn't fit long term. We're rebuilding, we're better off picking as high as possible and a malcontent being thrown into a locker room where players are already complaining about not knowing plays is a scary proposition.

We definitely could use a PG and ball handler, but we shouldn't pay in future prospects for one unless that player factors in just as long as the pieces going out. Adding a vet on a significant contract just doesn't suit our long term goals whatsoever and is unnecessary when our goal isn't the playoffs.

And we have Toronto’s. Who cares about lottery picks that’s old news now. Different mgmt.

Ideally I would want Mark Jackson, as I'm sure he learned whatever lesson there was to be learned from his time in Golden State. But I think it would be Blatt, it just lines up too well; his mans is Steve Mills, they played together at Princeton, I think they were in each other's wedding if I recall correctly.

Nah, Mark don't deserve the bullsh*t that would come from that incompetent front office. That's my fellow SJU alum, I don't want him to go out like that.

I'm trying to be patient and hoping this is a showcase situation, but if things aren't different by December 1st...be it by trades, rotation decisions or firings; that's my expiration date.

I would imagine that the younger guys will get more minutes later on in the season. It's obvious that the knicks are trying to secure a top 3 pick with what they have been doing with the guys.

This is looking like a 6 player draft, with the two best small forwards likely going in the first 4 picks, being 6-8 in the 2018 draft would be an absolute failure for a team with as little talent as the Knicks. It was fine for the 2017 draft because that was a very deep draft, next summers draft is not that.

Yeah. You're going to want to be in the first 5 picks this year, for sure. The truth is, if they ended up with Ayton or Bamba, that'd be fine. But they want Porter/Bagley/Doncic.

I'm trying to be patient and hoping this is a showcase situation, but if things aren't different by December 1st...be it by trades, rotation decisions or firings; that's my expiration date.

Yeah, I mean - there's something to be said for playing veterans who (supposedly) know the plays, and have the professional approach. Certainly Courtney Lee has looked the part. But yeah, Tim has been brutally bad. Kanter is what he is. He can score on the block, but never defends, and doesn't always rebound.
