I think even winning 30 games and falling short of the eight slot - in Mills/Perry's eyes - is a win.  And yeah, I know - for draft purposes -  its not so much.



Would be absolutely fine for draft purposes. Last year teams at 33-49 got the top two cherries.

Outlier

Won't happen again

Outlier of 1??? LOL..certainly might, law of independent trials, or it could be the 23-59, and 37-45, Silver got what he wanted, you can't game it or meaningfully aim for it, is there anything you don't understand about it?

dont talk to me

Can't handle the truth?


*** Ok, maybe it will be two 34-48 teams...or if we are really, really, really lucky, one will be a 19-63tm by Carlos team

 If Dolan convinced that Mills and/or Perry needs to go, why would he wait until the end of the season?
Maybe he wants to wait to see if  candidates become available, or can be made available, but I also worry about a desperate GM or president making boneheaded decisions, swinging for the fences to save their jobs.

What would you have said if the Knicks spent the minimum this season - if they did not add free agents up to their spending limit?

And - admitting that Morris is a)  playing well and b)  a nice trade piece - why not give some credit for that?

He wasn't even a target until Reggie Bullock's injury.

Otherwise the 15mil we gave to Portis we would've given to Morris first.

I feel like PerryMIlls ALREADY swung for the fences to save their jobs with the KP trade and basically struck out/ hit into a fielders choice.

Not certain we were never linked to Marcus before that
but doesnt matter,  In the end the decision was to add him or not - and I think we made the right choice.

Do you take Hachimura and Clarke now for Barrett?

Clarke is tempting, but Barrett is still better by a nose.

I think Dolan has seen the light and is ready to reassign or move Mills altogether as many are starting to report. I think it will be after the season ends.

True or false -

Given Knicks personnel, NY should have more than 4 wins right now.

I would think maybe a few more, and I get that you are dumping on Fizzy, but given the very personnel you are calling out, they didn't have the horses to close those tight games so your question/point makes no sense.....we are worst in the NBA across the board in almost every category that counts.

Well, Merc - we are 2-6 when playing well enough to finish in a 5-point game or fewer.  (0-1) under Miller)
