Ive earned my stripes. I can leave for regular season and come back for a playoff run.

I am definitely hoping for a blow up though. Brunson's great. Us locking into the randle stuff not trading him several times over is just a waste of time.

And RJ stinks too.



Unless you just became a Knicks fan in the last 22 months and Missed the countless years of Tanking and trying to build through the draft and ended up with Frank, RJ, and KP.

WTF is a proper rebuild, the lottery. Do you play the lottery in hopes of paying your bills.

Why not propose a Randle trade that would make this team better, instead of just suggesting some random trade

Is there some brilliant coach sitting home that 15 other teams are ignoring that will assure us a spot in the finals

Did you believe we wood win a TITLE when we had Pat Riley, JVG, Woodson, MDA Wilkens.

We could be a dumb ass franchise and pay Jalen Brown 300 mill to win a bunch of regular season games..

We tried building around a #1 pick in EWING, no ring

We have hired HOF coaches in Larry Brown

Traded for HOF in Melo

Phil Jackson and his TRIANGLE CULT

STEVE MILLS and his all black FO

But he made all NBA twice, Jalen Brunson started for the world cup team and Thibs was coach of the year. Also this is the year RJ breaks through and has only 100th worse efficiency in the league. You don't have a second round exit banner hanging above your bed, you aren't a real Knicks fan!

I will enjoy. Fans like you are the worst. Knicks have had literally 2 decent seasons in 20+ years and you’re here babbling because the team doesn’t play in a way that’s aesthetically pleasing to you? Just go be a fan of another team then.

NBA is an iron man sport.

Superstars are both disciplined and durable, not just talented.

Zion is neither.

It's high time to drop the Zion is Eating His Way Out of New Orleans narrative.

He's just a confused person without the will to do what it takes to succeed in the NBA.

That's not to say he couldn't grow up and get his chit together, but attributing strategy to Zion's motives is far fetched. The guy is running around impregnating baby mamas. As it stands for now, Zion is a knucklehead.

Well, they have rebuilt the team in the last three years to a large degree.

We've improved the backcourt radically from the dregs of Elfrid Payton and Emmanuel Mudiay.

We still have picks.

It's a rebuild that may culminate in a big trade. Or Not.

But what they have not done in the last three years is make a starphucker trade to sell tickets and kneecap the team's prospects in the process.

This is at a pivot point where the team can keep improving or players stagnate, but it is pretty certain the team as it is presently constructed requires a trade to consolidate the backcourt and upgrade the frontcourt.

Make the right move and we've effectively rebuilt. Make the wrong move and we'll plateau.

Getting to this point took a form of rebuild. What happens in the next season is where the rubber hits the road.

'Superstars' don't lead to championships. Legit franchise players lead to championships - and those players can be drafted at any point in the draft, even (as in the case of Jokic) in the second round.

Waste of time? Most everything in life could be described as a waste of time (particularly in this era of approaching climate change, in which human beings appear to be doing little more than rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic). The Knicks last season were an extremely engaging diversion from a disturbing reality. More than that I cannot reasonably ask - but if you can, that's your issue, not ours.

In life, nothing is guaranteed. My advice is to enjoy the moments and not be a killjoy for others.

Watching iso-Randle + iso-RJ + iso-Brunson for 32 minutes will be boring but it should grind out enough regular season wins for a playoff series or two.

The wildcard this season is whether the smallball bench without Obi can still out-compete most other NBA bench units without getting murdered on the boards:

IHart
JHart
RJ/QG
DDV
IQ

And, as always, the biggest story is if/when management pulls the trigger on its next Starphucking trade target.

Spoiler:
Ironically, I bet they just flip IQ for a Marcus Morris type backup vet PF.

We've never tanked. In fact the number of picks the Knicks have had in the top 5 is pathetic since Ewing. The exact opposite of everything you are saying is true.

Since Ewing we've had THREE god damn top 5 picks. Kenny Walker. KP. R_ Barrett.

Since Ewing here's every team that won a championship and their number of top 5 picks.

Heat have 4 and didn't exist in 1986.
Celts have 5 and one dropped dead.
Cleveland have 9.
GSW have 6. (and Curry and Klay 7 and 11)
Spurs have 4.
Lakers had 4.
Mil had 4.
Raps have 7.
Detroit have 5.
Mavs had 4. (and Dirk at 6)
Hou at 4.
Chi has 8.
Den has 6.

You are either 6 years old or lying.

You know the glue you're sniffing is strong when you compare RJ to Zion. Nobody on Earth wouldn't swap RJ for Zions fat ass, and thousand stripper army of hoes tomorrow.

Some fans, usually the hardcore tankers preferred the bad years over this. You could get excited at draft time that maybe we got the next Lebron or Wemby. A homegrown star to root for is what they really want, even more than wins sometimes.

Hoping your 2nd round team which was the youngest left in the playoffs gets worse instead to the ecf so you can be right is some real hating lol
