this team was all in the moment steve mills signed THjr. so, unless steve mills is willing to show everyone he was wrong for signing Tim (which he won't) by moving him, this team will drag itself to around 30 wins. that Ain't no tank. that's a testudo formation.(thanks wikipedia)


well if we lose the next 2 games we will have to go like 20-10 or 19-11 to finish the season and make the playoffs which would be impossible for this squad. if we lose the next 2 I think perry and mills are smart enough to order jeff to start playing the kids

you're giving them too much credit. that should have been imperative from the start.

We're now down to a 9% chance to make the playoffs, which is the lowest for any team with a >1% chance to make it.

We're basically out of it.

We should tank. Trade for the Brooklyn #1 pick that Cleveland has.
Play Frank, Burke, Dotson, KP, Willy, Hicks, Nigel Hayes the majority of the minutes.
We'll have 2 nice draft picks to help us for next season.

Pretty sure we have lost to the Hawks at least once this year. So to say it’s highly unlikely isn’t exactly true.

Tank full steam ahead. You ain't passing both Detroit AND Philly. It is just not happening. Courtney Lee needs to be traded since he is the only guy that will bring true value. Both Philly and Detroit can actually use him. Indiana as well. Washington can start him while Wall is out and can use him as the first guard/forward off the bench once he is back.

Rinse & repeat :lol:

If i remember correctly we missed on Westbrook and Curry by 1 pick :nonono:


Westbrook by two picks. MIN had 1 less win than us but got the 3rd pick that year so they could of had him. We win one less, maybe we’re in that position. We’ll never know unfortunately


We were slated to pick 4th but fell to 6th during the Lottery lol

Players will never have that mindset. It's on the front office to come to their senses

There's no need to purposely lose games. The Knicks are bad without the filler.

I'd give Cleveland O'Quinn (or Kanter), Lee, McDermott, Beasley, Lance, Jack (if they want him) for that pick.
