So by this logic they should just keep losing? The Knicks did that for almost two decades. It doesn't work.

And their 3 leading scorers are already locked in for the next several years. If there was a mistake with giving Randle, Barrett or Brunson a big contract, the mistake has already been made. This is the Knicks core for the time being and Knicks fans should be happy they are playing playoff level basketball.

I understand Utah doesn’t have a baseball team but how does a Jazz fan manage to become a Yankee fan?

the yankees are global

Brunson was who they needed. Brunson is now who Dallas needs.

Yeah, it's just another Thibs thing. I bet he cut the rotation short and pushed up everyone's minutes as if it's the playoffs already. You can't sustain playoff intensity for a whole regular season and your voice will become less effective once the playoffs actually roll around.

It's good that he's playing some younger guys at least now. However, the salaries on the team are f'ed and they are not winning any conference, if they even make the conference finals. That's not good. Incremental improvements from there will not get you to the title.

If they DON'T win a trade with their picks, they are proper-f*cked.

My suggestion is get a coach in who knows how to teach both sides of the ball and how to motivate players born in the 2000's and just draft all your picks and develop them slowly while Fournier and Randle's contracts get shorter. Make sure to RETAIN all the young players at any cost since you don't care about LT that's your one advantage.

They already gave them out. Randle already got extended, RJ already got extended, they signed Mitch longterm. So who are these guys they are giving ill-advised contract extensions too? Cam Reddish?

I like how you guys care about the Nets. Because the city of New York really doesn't. I never hear anyone talk about the Nets. Time for that team to relocate to Las Vegas or something. I heard they want a team.

Thibs played 9 and the highest minutes was RJ with 42, the next Randle with 38. Nothing out of ordinary for the regular season.

- It sounds like "just another Thibs thing" means winning basketball games, because thats really all he's done since he got here. The Knicks have an identity. Defense. He's been the coach of the 2nd or 5th most winningest teams for this franchise over the past 20 years and last year was without a starting PG.

- The Knicks have 1 bad contract (Fournier, and next year it's an expiring deal). Care to explain how that's "F'd"?

- Everyone in the rotation outside of Randle (just turned 28) is 26 or younger.

- They have 11 First Round Picks in the next 7 drafts, including all of their own. I'm pretty sure any team that doesn't win a trade is in a pretty bad position. Not really a Knicks only problem.

**Also I made a thread about this very subject thats on the front page two days ago.**
Why make another?

Mavs could sure use a guy like Jalen Brunson
