KAT has to be one of the worst defensive centers in the league. There’s no system fixing that, just having him play with a center capable of defense.

Yeah and then he’s already been to the Finals. So what?

Team broken down with 25 games left? Sure seem like it. Most starter minutes in history.

It’s a semi-wasted year because Thibs isn’t a championship coach as we’ve been saying since day one. Just ride out the season and hope we bring in a mastermind to lead this group. Gotta be good before we become great. And we’ve been good for a while now.

Simply grow and develop together.

It looks like we’re going to play the Pistons in the 1st round but we are pretenders.

Who’s our next head coach?

Johnnie Bryant?

Celebrating a new-look team’s struggles in year one and the inability to see the potential and talent says everything about you as a poster.

You’re the same guy that celebrated Frank ntilikina, Obi, Knox and RJ. Yeah I think you’re the one that has the inability to see talent :lol: god damn your takes are awful.

Good way to look at it. This is YEAR 1 of the new Knicks, this isn't the final product. You just got a new canvas and started painting folks, a lot of work still to be done.


That would be true if the Knicks had room to operate below the 2nd apron or flexibility with draft picks.

They have neither.


Yeah, we are in a rough spot going forward. Inflexible Thibs and little roster flexibility, barring a Lakers like Luka trade.

No minutes for Hulk and of course Pacom tonight.

Hopefully we can trade him for Giannis. We have no reliable center to play him with.

When perk and the announcer making fun of your drop defense it’s bad. He even said Knicks offense looks like they wandering in the wilderness.

Looking like a caretaker coach.

Rockets don’t have defenders but play defense. Get a fresh voice in here. Pistons don’t have defenders but play with effort.

I got yelled at when I said Market reset as soon as we make this trade. Can’t go back but looks like an L in hindsight even though I like the player.

5 first round picks for Mikalikina. We are living in the twilight zone and he never left

I can agree with this only because the move handicaps the Knicks going forward. Not because he's not a good asset. It's just that we can't look to the offseason to make a big move anymore. This is the best the Knicks will be for years. And this team is not good enough.

He is never ever going to live up to those 5 picks and whats going to make it worse is he is going to get PAID this offseason.

And it's not like he is bad. But this FO vastly overvalued him.

The talent is already in place. We need a lob-threat on offense and a bouncy rim-protector on defense. That’s one person.

Give it time.
