everyone upset except for Melo
Hell ya let me get a 6'9 forward with a 7-2 wingspan, 9.15 standing reach. Elite physical tools. Can put the ball on the floor, create his shot, can defend 1-5, above average athletcism, strong rebounder, showed flashes of being a shooter, and is only 20 yrs old. Tons of upside

there are so many underlying factors but with this shorten season and with the news that Thibs is a clear favorite and Rose is an agent...I wonder if he plans a legit play it slow rebuild or he will get pressure from Dolan to turn this around and put a respectable product on the floor at the cost of potentially skipping steps.
I know thats a pretty negative outlook but lets says we have been down this road before and we seem to never choose the right path.
I would think Rose will at least have a year grace period.....i mean, even Dolan should understand by now it cant be turned around overnight. So next year really needs to be focused on setting things up as best as possible, including development. At least i hope. You never know what the plan or directive is though. Im sure eventually they will go after stars and take some shots
The stars went to Brooklyn. Not hard to imagine Dolan being furious about that. Rose is here to get star players, I think that much is clear. Didn't he give the green light to Perry to continue working the DLo trade as soon as he arrived and even told Perry to include a first round pick? Obviously the Warriors declined the offer but I think it's safe to assume we aren't going to take the slow and steady approach.
It's funny that there was a recent report about Brooklyn inquiring about Bradley Beal, oof. If Beal was available I'm putting money on Rose being on it.

The Knicks normally always end up picking just outside the last of the premium players each draft.

The sample size is too small to say tanking is still not the best of options.
Or at the least we should have been smart enough to not drop out of the top 3.
right now it is 0 percent chance of the 5th pick
and 24 percent if i am correct of the 7 or 8th pick
and I think 9 percent of 1 through 4
You alwasy take the best odds possible. and the best odds still go to the teams with the worse records.

Ding!
Let's see if Rose has the "fixer" juice or POBO juice to trade up or whatever, and break this damn curse
thebuzzardman wrote:Yes, to the above, it's not only about position, but then making the most of where you fall as a team. Perrin should help immensely.
And the Knicks did pretty good with lower picks/UDFA, so there's a little something to their scouting department/FO.

The Knicks didn't cut the scouting department or made changes to it. In Walt Perrin, they've only just added one of the best drafting minds and executives in the Western conference , top 5 in all the NBA according to the following Reddit forum.

What team has the best scouting department?
I know it's sort of impossible to determine, but I was just thinking about who consistently finds the diamonds in the rough in the draft?
Normal consensus is probably the Spurs but they haven't exactly killed it in the draft lately (kawhi was a great pick and Murray looks to be as well).
My money is on Denver. For the last 5 or 6 years they've constantly found guys late in the draft that have exceeded their draft slot.
Fournier Jokic Nurkic Gary Harris Hernangomez looks like he will be a player Beas will probably be solid.
Love to hear your thoughts on any team that's better.

Jazz are a great shout man. Didn't think about them but you're 100% right. Up there with Denver for sure. Hell Gordon turned into a star and was what, 7th pick? Lot of those dudes flame out.

Getting hard to pick up rough diamonds now as most of our steals (aside from Kawhi) were international players and there are a lot of scouts keeping an eye on them in recent years.
Plus Spurs always pick in the late 20s the last decade. I guess it is payback for having two #1 picks that actually panned out great.
