Meh

We’re not going to finish bottom 3 anyway and the draft seems to be very top heavy


Those Picks you got from the Knicks for Mikal Bridges trade are starting to look better and better assets !

Thibs played the Knicks starters more than the Hornets played our starters and still got blown out.

Think the Knicks may be in some trouble.

We’re in a reasonable spot for the future if we draft well as Jordi is a good coach, some young players are developing and we have masses of cap space

Unlike some tanking teams, we have actually been okay to watch as well so not too much to complain about

You are also a big market team and the Knicks cap is filled to the brim, you definitely are in the mix to land a big Free Agent or star who wants a trade ..

DLO's shot over the backboard near the end of regulation was embarrassing
