Exactly! You need to put some respect on Steve Novak’s game.

The best way to think about KP’s inability to get himself to the next level as a player is, Once a Knick, always a Knick.

I was attempting humor. They gave up their second or third most important player.

Tommy was def helpful last season but he’s fallen again.

Basically Miami did a pump and dump on J-Rich. Shrewd.

Actually it’s two things

1) it’s really clear the Knicks had no developmental staff, prior to Thibs coming here and them poaching staff from other teams is why we actually now see guys improving.

2) Everytime KP got injured instead of expanding on his game, he had to basically rehab to get to the level he was before but losing some athleticism each time.

I will keep saying this, the smartest thing the mavs could do is try to get KP through this season healthy so they can help him add something to his game, or just focus on muscle gains. Being good this season should be a afterthought. Their best chance to be good long term is have kP and Luka make it through the season healthy, and then try to add better pieces around them like Fournier and Otto Porter aka legitimate starting players and not the journeymen they have now making up the majority of their roster.

Man we were 4 and 20 last season?
How the hell did end up with 8th pick?
Once Knicked always Knicked.. hopefully not this year.


insistence on playing vets over youth + bad luck

Once Mike Miller took over. The awful start to the season was all due to Fizdale. He was the perfect tanking coach.

We can't tank with Thibs though. So we already missed our chance.

We should target him and Trent, if we get one the offseason is a success, instead we gonna throw the bag at washed Oladipo.

Remember Mavs fans telling us that THJ by himself already meant they won the trade, as if he was a great player that the Knicks somehow couldn't turn into a productive player. I mean, we had him for two stints and every single time was a mistake.

Have you looked at THT’s stats. He ain’t doing much

Based on production it goes

1) Oladipo
2) Trent
3) THT

I get the arguments for Oladipo and Trent. One could be he best FA this summer, even if he doesn’t fit perfectly. They other is a 3pt shooting machine but likely never all star good.

Both would likely be the Knicks starting 2 guard unless they drafted one.

THT would look good in a Knick uniform. What an amazing player he's being wasted in LA.

I'm awaiting so many apologies on the GB. I'm actually quite fair to him but every time I say he's not that good a rebounder or he can't post up the White Knights of _allas come riding in, their swords a swingin'.

Its a damn shame we didn't get a game against the Mavs in this first half of the season. We would of actually demolished them, especially on the boards and in the paint. Mitch would have 20 on putbacks alone.

Aside from Seth Curry perhaps Stephen Silas was already an integral part to their success.
