It's exciting from a media and short-burst for players to change clothes like that, but from actual "tune in" day to day, if we were not good right now, idk how much I would care to watch because all the players are new to us. Aside from Mitch Robinson and Deuce, everyone here is relatively new.
Why am I going to fall in love with *insert young player here* when there is an 85% chance they won't be on the team before the next presidential election?

I would have seriously had to consider not watching the Knicks when Embiid was in a Knick uniform.
So, like 4 or 5 games.

Agree about the reffing, player movement though can go both ways. Hart Towns , and Brunson are all relatively new but I certainly care about watching them.
But if you a were referring to new players not locked into long contracts...yeah I get that.

Last time I checked Tatum is a two way player!

are you trying to live a double life? cause you're in that exknicks thread fighting for your life over a guy who gives less effort on defense than you are in there

It felt like there were players, not always stars, but players who were etched into their teams for a good 10 year span. Even transient guys like Robert Horry had relatively long stays at their multiple stops.
Charlie Ward was never a great player, but he was a familiar face for years. Little things like that, for me, help build fandom. But I could be in the minority I suppose. The removal of the 7 year contract (or longer) certainly impacts that.
To your point though -- so getting Towns, brunson etc is good for getting you to tune in, but if worked out like the Suns, and two years later you sold them all off, then those fans leave. If you have like 5 players change per year, at least there is some continuity so a fan could be invested in, say, Lavar Postell, even in the aftermath of losing bigger named players. Maybe Herb Williams was washed, but you knew who your 4th string center was for a good long time.

Depends, some fans are more invested in winning a chip . But given the fact that most teams don't won it all , I'm happy to field a competitive team with some good personalities. Our squad isn't perfect , but for the most part I find them easy to root for based on how they play (talent and effort) and how they act, but not necessarily how long they've been here.
I was never a fan of Charlie Ward, actually I got tired of him ....good dude, but I was always wanting more from that position since we shipped of Mark Jackson, Strickland, and Derek Harper retired. Josh Hart on the other hand was like my favorite Knicks since the second he touched the court.
