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.


I can live with being cursed. I can't live with being cursed and being stupid.

Say we lost that game, had the 6th seed going into the lottery and were the only team to fall back like in 2015. Id deal with it. **** happens.

As much as y'all hate me I really love y'all. Reading the first 12 pages of this topic up until the coin toss or whatever the hell was going on has me crying right now. Y'all are absolutely hilarious. Anyone has a Video so I can see exactly what happened? This thread killed me.

Man, Steve Mills continues to be a New York Knicks four leaf clover! Fu#k you, Mills. Ya Dolan croney. This guy is the Littlefinger of MSG. Playing the fool, while reporting to the owner, monster.

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.

Patches thing up with Phil? Why should Melo patch things up with Jackson when he was the one who insulted Melo numerous times throughout the season. **** that. If Melo does this, he is a straight up bitch.

Phil has already said he wants a significant player in return for melo I don't think he accepts any trade without draft pick or willy level young player attached lol.

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

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.

Im just trying to be partially optimistic here. :cry:



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.



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

kawhi (15th) and paul george (10th) went late lottery and post lotto, but both guys had the kind of make up you want to find in a high upside wing with their measurables and athletic ability. most assuming that they great defensive potential. neither guy was a one and done either, so teams weren't as enamored with them as they probably should have been.

If there's a guy in this draft like that, it might be frank, coincidentally.

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

y'all saw what Cousins in his prime drew. I don't see us getting what Phil wants for Melo. It might just be more cost effective to either keep or cut him.

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 :crazy:

Yea I'm sure the Spurs would love someone like that who executes like a champion

So BOZO you are very much


:noway:

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.


:offtopic: 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 :meditate:

On the one hand the Kings front office are run by an owner that can probably give James Dolan a run for "worst owner in sports" award and a noob POBO that have not shown any real ability to make good trades...

On the other hand the Knicks are owned by James Dolan and also has a noob POBO that has not shown any real ability to make good trades...

Yeah that's a tough one. :lol:

The Hill situation was dumb.... we ended up trading for veterans and then playing them a ton of minutes (hi Larry Hughes, Al Harrington, Chris Wilcox). This year, we played like 6 rookies and gave most of them real minutes near the end.
