there is none. I think most people would be fine if we had a defined direction, even if it was a tank. this is just the same incompetence as always. if you didn't know mills was fired you'd never be able to tell the difference

Holy crap i can't believe so many of you are mad about bringing back Elf on a 1 year $5 mil deal. He wasn't even that bad, i mean he wasn't good either but for the crap he had to play with he really wasn't that bad. He had some bad games but mostly he wasn't horrible and it's one damn year.

This is gonna take time if you guys want this team built right and will take at least 1 or 2 more offseason just like this one to do this right. I don't know if the new front office guys will be able to keep themselves from going off the path of building this team the right way cause they'll have to be able to make it through all the talk on the outside from fans and the media of this being NYC and being the Knicks and how long they've been bad and everything else that comes with doing this the right way, but if they hit on their draft picks starting with Obi and the 2021 and 2022 draft then we'll have a team with some serious young talent and that's when things can start changing.

We'll have a team full of young talent that will be coming together and start winning games and that's when the bigger name players will start looking at the Knicks again. That's when we can use a young player or two and all the draft picks we have in that 2023 draft with our own 1st and the Dallas 1st and the 4 2nd round picks we have to package in deals for the star type players or just add star free agents to the young players we already have.

I just musing the same thing! When is Leon going to face the media and fans and explain WTF is going on? I know I have an old axe to grind with this guy but I'm telling you, he's not that bright. He just isn't.

Like there should be a clear plan and the broad strokes of it shouldn't change that much. Consistency at the helm will tell, but I really do wonder.

Yes. Great organizations pass up Myles Turner for Tristan Thompson

Ingram had a really good year but I’m not comfortable with him really. Not that athletic and no clearly superior skills. To me he’s a risk.

Similar to KP. Tall and talented but questionable just how good those skills really are.

Has the “Knicks sign Boogie Cousins” news been announced yet? No. Okay, I’ll check back here later.

He owns the media pretty hard. Haven’t seen a FO escape as much scrutiny as his has.

NOLA will match it. He's a great fit with that squad.

He has to refuse any offer and force NOLA to sign and trade him.
Why would he leave a good thing in NOLA

He may dislike New Orleans and like big cities..

Prior to being traded, he has said he would re-sign with the Pelicans.

Besides, he may don't trust Zion healthy.

I understand if they weren't jonesing to make a stupid move this past week (though there's still time) but not make some smaller moves for young players, to me, is a bad sign.

It’s a one year deal not really a death sentence moving foward they this front office has really done anything crazy...yet so I don’t think it fair to call for peoples jobs yet

One year? Bro, it's more like 21 years!!!

I hear you man I know the Knicks have a knack for doing stupid sht lmao but really as annoying of a move this thibs ain’t mills or fiz so I doubt things will be exactly the same as last season

considering they could have had myles turner today if ainge wasn't a intitled dbag...i consider them a huge loser in FA.

They also wanted Paul Milsap from all accounts and missed out on him too...so they had a poor showing and this team aint winning jack.

The reaction to Payton was an outpouring of grief and anger lol.

How soon does this front office start with the nonsense that they are saving cap space to make a run at Giannis

He already said in an interview this season he feels more at home in the small market like NO being a Carolina boy. That’s why he’s looked so much more comfortable and confident this year.. so..
