I will add -----

if we have to deal 2-3 of the 7 picks to get someone we really desire - fine - as long as it is not next year's #1 and any pick has proper (top 10ish) protection.

Yep, after this season we are not a "trying to lose" team. (We only were a tank squad because KP was injured.) 

So i would be fine dealing the picks in the right deal.  No bargnani deals.

Heh - we are not trying to lose NOW - which is what concerns me about the coach.

I'm not worried about the coach.  We are playing youth over experience.  Youth will find ways to lose because they haven't learned to win.

As an organization Knicks prioritized youth this year. 

No Noah. Very little Kanter. Very little LT.  Knicks didn't sign any veterans last offseason on more than a one year tender.

The Front Office and Coach are aligned  ... and not because they're the same person.

Knicks are pointed in the right direction.

Especially if the Dolan sale rumors are true.

Ellenson looks like he knows what he is doing.   Feels like he has been here all year.  He's the anti-Mario

We may be catching the Bulls very soon, and that would be really bad.

Goodbye 14%

Hello 12.5%


it's basically the same odds thanks to Adam the Tank Killer Silver.

Think about this, for an f'in 1.5%

I don't think you get math.

Back up to 15%!

[Kam]

Never mind that RJ and Cam may be better pros than Zion.

[carlos123]

I don't think you get math.

And I don’t think you get a brain.

Wonderful loss! Very artful 👌

Knick management should be thinking of having Mitch and Knox long term, 10 year Knix.  Now that might not be possible, but that should be the thinking.

Frank Ntilikina - age 19  PER  7.0
Kevin Knox -  age 19   PER 8.1
How are you so sure on Knox?

Knox has good size (needs to use it better) and athleticism, and some definite skills.  Don't know how his development will go, but there are encouraging signs.  It's a long season and there have been slumps and frustrating stretches.  But he was also rook of the month in Dec.
I'm most concerned about his D, but he can learn.  And he'll get stronger. 

I just think keeping a promising draftee long-term is the right way of thinking.   But you need some continuity and you need legit starters.  The goal should be developing Knox into a legit starter long-term that's all.  Events may intervene.

heheh

Fiz again was trying to win

Not his fault their roster is better, I guess.

[bodiddley]

Looks like the first strong game in a while for Vonleh.  Though he was solid v. ORL.
Datsun the only Knick with a game +. 
+15.
Knix were -25 in the 19 minutes he sat.

Knix got smoked in the 4Q.
Looks like a fine loss.

[facilitatorn]

Gives us wiggle room if we decide to win another game.

Knox seems to be pressing the last few games.

Ellison is getting a Jenkins style contract. We should still have him next year.

Bottom line:  Knick FO had to know that the Knick fans reaction to the trade would be massively unfavorable. 

So you only do such a thing if you:

A) Are crazy/hate NYC/are ready to get fired
B) Know something

Game theory suggests that the Knicks know something

C) The hubris to believe these moves will lead to success without any assurance
