Should the Knicks tank in the '16-'17 season?

[Isiahthomass]

Pretty sure if things continue as they've been going it won't be 'tanking' it will just be 'losing badly'.

NY can handle a rebuild. We've been sorry for over a decade (4 playoff appearances in 15 years while only finishing with more than 40 wins in a season twice). In spite of all the losing, the team still has a ton of support...we still sell out the Garden every night and the Knicks are the most valuable franchise in the NBA. #TeamTank is definitely in the building right now...the lead in the poll just keeps growing every day.

NY might be able to, but James Dolan won't. So chances are...

I don't know with Dolan he sees
The money maker we got to draft in Pozingas and I think he might be down for another tank to land another young money maker to put next to Pozingas.

could be right. i said the other day now that kp is here the beer and popcorn will keep selling and that buys you time to keep building. lets hope so

Idk about y'all, but this looks like a pretty done deal to me...somebody forward the results over to Phil

after a very extensive coaching search i have found the next knicks head coach



and a perfect assistant coach

That assistant can teach the guards how to cut lol.

It'd be awesome if Dolan allowed the fans to direct franchise decisions via RealGM polls

Can it be any worse than the past 15 years?

Looks like a good 2/3's of the board is in favor of the tank next season. I only hope Phil is too.

Looking at how the other teams in the East developed last season (and how they would be improving the next) shows how far back we are. Don't see us hitting the jackpot in FA. The tank is something that we should embrace.

What sucks here is that we would be wasting Melo's time. As much as I like Melo however, he deserves this. If he had waited one more season and did not bait Dolan into a bidding war with the Nets, we would have given him a much better team sooner rather than later.

[Yankeeknickfan]

I would vote tank, if we didn't have KP.

[Yankeeknickfan]

I'd tank before going after rondo though. I'd do lots of things before going after rondo.

of course. what i see is some say but those players traded all came down with injuries. but they didnt all fall down at the same time and some of them would have remained valuable trading chips. they were all resources of one kind or another and should have been used to keep building the team not to throw them away in a trade that didnt have to happen.

if melo wanted to be a knick he could have come for a few dollars less soon after. it is his curse to bear. sick of hearing apologies for this. his bed. he made it because he forced a mid-season trade. nobody made him do that. he did it. he played hardball with the nuggets and ujiri stripped us clean. thats melos karma. no sympathies needed

Has anything changed in the last month? Are you still voting the same way ?

[JXL]

I bet PJax won't tank Year 3.

[MaseInYourFace]

Unless they sit melo and kp all year don't see how they can tank. Those two by themselves guarantee a competitive team, another decent enough player and it is a low end playoff team. I don't think this is a realistic convo. Tanking was only viable without Melo.

He's not tanking.

[Adelheid]

Phil will try to "compete" the first 2 months and if the cats are still crapping the floor then he procedes with the tank.

[The Infamous1]

One of the biggest myths is that NYC won't tolerate a top down rebuilding situation

Nothing has changed.
We should tank? Probably
We will? Nope

I agree , all we have done the past 15 years is rebuild (other teams)
