The Knicks are talking a good game, but unfortunately this is the wrong year for that. What they need to do is tank, draft high, clear cap space, sign a heavy hitter, all while convincing KP that they have a plan for the future starting 2019 going forward.

Strongly disagree. If the talent and potential is there this year, let it shine and play your best. I still look at the warriors mold and how none of them were top 5 picks where talent blossomed. Sometimes it takes the right coach and the right amount of time to bring it out of them. I truly believe that Phil and Hornacek were toxic to the team. Besides that, i thought we were already locked in at 5 for 2019. Players doing their best and not tanking means other teams are looking to acquire those players.

It looks like they plan to tank and KP is ok with the Tank. The big difference is they don't want to commit to chasing a Max FA when they have a lot of expiring youth on the roster who might be able to play themselves into being on the team long-term (Burke, Mario, Vonleh, and Mudiay) or trade bait. They could probably keep the best of that group and still have about 20 million to add another player with potential. Add a top 5 pick from this draft and we're good.

Also on another Frank is pushing 6'7 with 7 wingspan. If they can keep him at PG they have an outlier at Point that is going to give a lot of other PG's problems.

:lawd: Mills is the chosen one Brehs

That move literally ruined Melo's prime at the knicks word to the basketball gods.

You must be referring to the Bargnani trade, worst trade ever :scust:

Its a shame how Melos prime ended short because of incompetence with our front office, that one year we had a team around him had we stayed healthier and Kidd didn't suddenly get old, Jr disappear after a sucker move on the jet...who knows what could've happened

That Barg trade was so fukking bad because everyone had thought the FO had learned its lesson for the multiple decades of trash.

Talking about JR he was the first thought I had when Fiz said "No clowns on the roster".

You could see where Fiz's bringing that Miami approach with him in NY with the emphasis on going to the Gym during the offseason. I think they are also drafting based on Character too which is great.
