You clearly have no patience. That's your problem. You clearly can't remember what it was like the last time the Knicks actually built a contender from scratch as well. Things don't happen over night. It has been 5 months. It takes a little longer than that.
Well, I'd argue the exact opposite is true. I've been watching games since about 1984. I was patient enough to go from tanking into the 1st pick, to the Finals with the Rockets. So lecturing me on over night and 5 months is honestly laughable. If I have anything it's sarcasm and patience, in fact the road I'm proposing which is to get 4 or 5 bites at a Duncan/LeBron/Luka/Jokic/Hakeem/Steph takes years -- which I'd be willing to endure again because at least there is hope of a title. We're where we are by being IMPATIENT which is exactly how Dolan has operated. This roster and the financials and the pick situation leaves us a near 0% chance of a title or a #1 pick for the next ~4-5 years.
The Mikal Bridges trade is a shining example of being impatient. Getting prison raped for a good roleplayer.
