It's really Gallo, Ariza, Frye & Wil who could/should have been extended.  But the Knix were always in a hurry and wanted to bring in some big name vet to Win Now.  Never worked.

That's not a great team either.  Never more than a 5 seed and the wheel of mediocrity.

We wont make the mistake again

Dealing Galinari to get Melo.......

Dealing Williamson to get Davis....

Keep your young players

ADD

GROW

WIN

If a guy cant really play that's a different story.  If you make a determination that said player wont help you much beyond a replacement level guy......

This type decision with Frank is pending.




The Ariza trade was terrible, the Frye move didn't make any sense either. But I've not changed my mind on the Melo deal, still think it was the right move and would have worked had the Knicks been smarter afterwards. So I'm not sweating Gallo or Chandler.

I'm conflicted but my feeling is this: It would be most fun to keep Zion, he has the potential to be transformational. But if trading him is what is required to not only get Brow but convince Kyrie and Durant to sing, you do it, especially if you're able to move the other rookie contract guys for value somewhere other than New Orleans (ie trade them all for future first round picks).

That big 3 is better than keeping Zion and using our money on Eric Bledsoe, Bobby Portis and Delon Wright.

We have Smith.  Bledsoe not in that mix.  Kyrie would be if he was coming with a second player.

Might be more like

Smith
Knox
HARRIS
ZION
DeAndre
Mitch
Frank
(maybe VONLEH)
**add a player at 15-20 mil per.**
add 7 other low salaried players  that fit the cap.

I like this team.....
and I LOVE the position we would be in at next year's deadline, with all those picks and youngsters
Keep 6 other first round draft picks.

Or

Smith
Knox
Mitch
Frank
ZION
DURANT
- and whatever else (including a second big $$ guy) -
plus the six picks, some of which we would likely use to add players KD likes.

"Guys like KD are NOT going anywhere to play with young kids" - I have heard.

Let's test that out.

If KD comes to NY outright he is immediately a GOD for not making us deal the entire franchise for him in a S and T.

I think if the Lakers and Lebron miss the playoffs this year, Durant might be somewhat dissuaded from coming alone to play with a bunch of kids.

And I think that was part of the logic behind creating the second max slot.

And I think the Knicks are far more likely to trade the pick then keep it based on the implied priorities of the organisation.

As much as I've recently admitted clutching on to the ongoing fantasy of the Knicks attracting top players — and I'm still clutching to that fantasy, unless you got something better — wiser commentators than I have asked: Why would these luminaries come to a losing, fucked-up organization?

And the answer that always emerges is the chestnut about how they would become a GOD in New York and so on.

Painful shit.

We might observe (again) that all the illustrious free agents will have plenty of choices. Indeed most of them are already on strong, winning teams. If they stay put, they will be going deep in the playoffs for as long as they like. But there are up-and-coming teams that offer plenty of promise to an NBA superstar. Are the Knicks really among them? A team losing at a historic rate? A chronic loser?

Bad play....and bad mojo.

If we keep losing, by God, we've got a 14% chance to pick Zion! It's insane to salivate at odds so shitty. And yet the young man's name keeps coming up in this forum.

So maybe this is all a way of observing that Knicks fans slather their desires with a coating of reason and analysis. But it's essentially a dreamscape, nourished by hope, prayer....and little else.

Latvian Heritage night  -- cancelled!  Thats an unnecessary "Fuck You" to David Bertans!  The BEST Latvian in the NBA.
