Lol we were never in the playoff race. Even in January we were destined for the lottery and anyone with any sort of awareness knew that.
Im no longer part of team tank Im really just part of "don't stress it, Knicks are gonna Knick" team. Knicks of course won the last game on a game winner by Maurice NDour because Knicks. Knicks of course lose the "coin flip" to Minnesota because Knicks. At a certain point I just realized that the team loses when they should win, and win when they should lose and I don't need that stress in my life.
This is a terrible spin job.
And it still doesn't explain why you are so hardcore about tanking in January but are fine with winning the final game which put you back one slot??
I was hardcore back in January, but the pointless victories were stressing me out. Every win the same ****. One side saying that rooting for losses makes you a fake fan, one side saying that we need as many losses as possible to get a high draft pick and then a few users sprinkled in there that would say "It's just one game. They can't lose them all. Knicks are still in a good position to lose these next couple of games." At a certain point you get tired of it.
Btw I'm not "fine with winning the last game." I just knew it was going to happen. I was at the gym watching it with my friend who doesn't watch regular season basketball and I told him that the Knicks were going to find a way to win. He came to same conclusion as me after they won. The Knicks are cursed so don't waste your passion on a team that can't get out of their own way. Just sit on the sideline until there's something to cheer about.

The Knicks STILL have an incredible chance to land a top point guard like Dennis Smith, Frank Ntilikina, or the mad Monk.
Now, here's the question...do YOU package the other 2 picks in order to move up a slot or two?
Knicks won't sniff #1 pick unless they shoot the moon out. Knicks won't be able to trade their garbage for a top draft pick.
Considering Melo is about to lose HALF of his earnings in divorce, don't be surprised if he reconsiders and patches things up with Phil.

No way, the Knicks get any draft pick for Melo. Pretty much a couple of bad contracts. Thats it.

Yes I understand this, but at the same time...many great players get drafted in the 7-15 range also. And many busts end up in the 1-5 range.
Im just trying to be partially optimistic here.
Kawhi wasn't top 10
Outlier. Also, I always acknowledge you can get a very good, even great player from 8 on down. It's just the chances go way down. Also, lets factor in the random luck factor even after good scouting. Lets say every year, without fail, a Kawhi level player appears, let's say 10th, for arguments sake. That means a somewhat rotating cast of teams passes on that sort of player 9 times, yet it can't be that everyone of those scouting departments is lame. Ok, so a few obvious picks and drafting for need, but it still sort of indicates 4-5 teams not doing a very good job of scouting. Possible, just not preferable.
Hey, it's water under the bridge, the Knicks are picking 7th or 8th, might luck out with the lottery (doubtful - those odds again), but for a moment there there was a real shot at 4th. And face it, the real impact players tend to be in top 3, which 4th would have at least given the Knicks better odds plus a crack at the guy just out of the top 3.

Hard to doubt him after the KP pick, but I think they'll be better players on the board than Frank.

If raps can get a draft pick for bargianni than melo should net you a draft pick also I would not dump him for sake of it.

you sound like the bozo for telling a man who may not have a job next year to do anything other than play his best basketball.
If anything doesn't him making the shot show him to be incompetent in following the team plan.
Like the guy who is told to miss the free throw so that we can rebound and get a field goal
Or the dumb ass who takes a 2 Pt field goal when we're down by 3 with 1 second left
Yea I'm sure the Spurs would love someone like that who executes like a champion
So BOZO you are very much
That game was basically an audition for his next contract. You think if he misses the shot, he'll get a contract from another team for helping the Knicks tank? Come on, that just sounds dumb.
You're just asking someone to basically look bad in the best interests of a team that will probably not bring him back next year. And no other team offers a reward to a player who just tanks on behalf of the team. No one.

Let's just agree to disagree AND agree that the Knick management dropped the ball on tanking during the end of the season.
Just like that year we won meaningless games at the end and ended up picking Jordan Hill

I would like the board to observe what happens when I'm trying to be positive.
