I'll take John Wall if we strike out everywhere else. When he's healthy he's a really solid PG

Give us three years of not looking like total idiots and people will forget Dolan exists.

Certainly right but hysteria builds, superstitions rein supreme, the occult has a certain appeal to humans. There's always a story behind a story fascination, but the Knicks hit the rocks because they failed in getting the right guys. The simple explanation.

What I think they did wrong was trying to stop thinking big. Melo and Amar'e gameplan was good, those guys just didn't work out for XYZ reasons together. If you're in NY and LA, you have to keep trying to hit homeruns I think. You have a big advantage and dabbling in tanking or whatever is overlearning the lessons of failure.

If their lottery pick is attached then I would think about it.

The Houston owner is cheap so he might include several picks to dump Wall's contract. He got a lotto protected pick in the Westbrook trade FWIW. KPJr + Wash lotto protected pick + a HOU 1st rounder might be worth considering taking on Wall's horrendous contract.

They have a fair amount of potential draft compensation. They would need to include a fair amount of potential draft compensation.

My very favorite was the 2012-13 Knicks...

Old Sheed, Camby, KMart and Kidd on the same team.

Amare/Tyson at 30ish were probably subjected to rookie hazing by the rest of the frontcourt on that team...

Jesus Christ, what it means to be a Knicks fan.

Definitely have to reexamine Melo's so-called "loser" legacy when you look at what he was working with.

Why did we need to sign all those vets to keep our team in line? Because our so-called franchise player couldn’t keep guys like JR in line. Some franchise stars force their teammates to go hard on defense and take the game seriously...like Kobe passing on practice habits to Randle or KG holding Allen and Pierce accountable or Lebron forcing JR and Iman not to be clowns. That 2012-13 goes nowhere without the vets leading the team.

Because we traded most of our depth away to get our so-called franchise player.

Here is a pic of Blake literally grabbing Giannis arm and pulling it down so he can dunk instead of getting blocked yet no offensive foul called.

The refs let the Nets do whatever they want and no calls which makes an already difficult task in beating them a nearly impossible one.

It seems the league thinks the Nets are a big market team with the big market share of fans and will do whatever they can to support them in getting to the finals. :lol:

When does Wall's contract expire? I might consider it for an unprotected draft pick.

Yes there is. I don't want to tell everybody, but I'll give you a hint. Go the the post where I used the F word. Use your browser search function to find that word (yes, enter the word into the search field). What do you see?

Did you forget how old I am? :lol:

Didnt realize they had the worst record in the league. So forget it...totally unrealistic they would gift us with a blue chipper just to dump Wall.

2 years left

Final year is a 47 million player option

Basically means we won't be able to sign anyone if we keep Randle, cause by then we'll have to extend RJ (and maybe Mitch).

They have good stuff from other teams.
