Another note on Smith: Former NBA sharpshooter Mahmoud Abdul Rauf posted a picture of he and Smith Jr. after a workout.
Per sources, Smith has had some workouts with Abdul-Rauf in New York and the workouts were coordinated by his agent at Roc Nation, Raymond Brothers.

Brilliant moves that placed us in excellent position to win 18 games instead of 12 while giving valuable minutes to veteran rentals/churning through our 19th coach in 20 years or whatever it is.

Trust me, I hate Payton more than you do. But the Knicks needed a point guard. Frank is not a point guard, and DSJ was neither in the right mental nor physical condition to play (which is why he didn’t).
The Knicks just need to sign a veteran point guard (whether as a starter or as a back-up) who can shoot a little. The biggest issue is us signing players who can’t play off the ball and thus hurt everyone around them, including the development of our youth.

Why did they need a PG? To achieve more meaningless wins?

Yes! Most people don't realize the "D" in 9-D Chess is actually for "Dolan."
Not only did we achieve moar meaningless wins dropping us out of the running for a so-called "top 3" pick, but we also trampled the confidence and reps of once promising lotto picks while making us SEEM like fools in the "mainstream media" for thinking we thought they thought we thought we could make the Playoffs after trading KP to get KD.
Don't you see it now?
