The better question is why SHOULD you be surprised if they end up with Pick #1 or #2? They currently have a Top 5 WORST Record in the League. I'd be more suprised if they don't end up with a Top 3 Pick.

it's amazing that the Knicks haven't won a title since 1973
35 years?
they do need to go with a major youth movement out there but not too young. the NY media is too intense for such young players to flourish in. they need to stick with 3 and 4 year collegians.
unfortunately the best picks again this year are frosh/sophs. but the pressure to save the NY franchise is way too much for a couple of freshmen players.
they have to find a coach that can protect them from the media and let them develop.

are you really complaining about someone who let your city get another franchise after you couldn't draw fans for the first one, and can't draw fans now? You must be kidding me, oyu are lucky Stern was in charge, any other sensible person would not have brought a team back to Charlotte.

He is trying to get the major markets better.
He just didnt give NY the #1 overall last yaer because it would look to obivious.
Yeah, considering the Knicks didn't have their #1(it belonged to the Bulls), I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been that obvious.
I totally forgot never mind Stern might have been high when he made that statement

The knicks are clearly the most important team in the NBA because of the huge market that is NY.
Stern is just predicting (He thinks) that the Knicks will be better next year, how can they really be much worse?
If he's wrong, so what?
The Knicks could end up with the most ping-pong balls, get the 1st pick and the conspiracy nuts would still have a field day with it.

Charlotte was top of the league in attendance until a strike, a sex case against the owner, a front office who wouldn't resign any good and drafted players we had, all happened in one season.
Any other commish would have let a team back in Charlotte. See: the Texans, Browns, etc.
