Well, 2 more years of almost guaranteed sucking with arguably only 1 real true potential top young talent in the team to truly believe in (Mitch).
Sorry, RJ is not it to me. Y'all can feel that way, but I am nowhere near as excited and feel most are overhyped about him because he played for Duke so everyone knows who he is, but compared to past #3 picks I'd argue his amongst the weakest in potential I can ever recall.
KP was booed at the draft, but I was way more hyped about him than RJ.
Our owner is a totalitarian idiot and management has failed at every turn no matter what way you want to cut it for decades. Yes, Perry is a major improvement, but we cannot escape our past misdeeds, and it's haunting everything about this "franchise," nor does it help Dolan thinks its wise to silence journalists even though they are clearly not fair and balanced.
I 100% supported the KP trade, but it has failed as of now. Hard to not say that. We shall see, but it looks grim for Knick fans now other than the rose tinted glass fans that have stuck around with faith and finding silver linings like I certainly have.
18-19 years and counting of trash results on and off the court. I was not super into signing KD injured as it seems a major risk, but I was beginning to change my mind. Now it is certain that the time we need to wait before we can actually have hope to be that good seems at least 2-3 years away, if we are lucky.
Patience...how long have we been hearing that one again (Chip)? I'm losing mine, but still here...why who knows? lol
As for the future. of the Knicks vs. Nets, this is going to hurt.
No one under 30 cares about the Knicks that much, and why should they?
Brooklyn sure to blow up and arguably surpass the Knicks in the short term as a result of this, even if Barclay's is not the same and the fans are mostly plastic.
Old NYC is dying very fast and this is just another nail in its coffin.
A lot of folks born and raised in BK are Nets fans now, even if they may like the Knicks a little. It's a local thing. That's millions of people, and there are a lot of real NBA fans in BK. Now they have the star power to be the talk of the town.
Knicks fade into oblivion holding onto the past with our old and suburban based fans. Until we are actually good again we won't compete, but there's a new noisy neighbor and they have awakened.
