No Howard and No Beverly

Knicks same starters Calderon Shump Melo Acy and Dalembert

Fisher said Calderon will probably play around the same amount of Minutes could of played more Saturday but decided to rest him in the 4th
This team needs to tank and get a top draft pick.

They aren't going anywhere this season.
Tanking guarantees nothing

AND it's painful to go through 6 more months of this. A team with Carmelo Anthony on it in this joke of a conference should never fail to make the playoffs.
they took 84 threes in the last 2 games

They love the 3 ball even when dwight is playing, theyre one of these teams who is all in on analytics. without him though its unlike anything youll see. Bombs away
this team doesnt need to tank

Tanking implies they need to take steps to ensure they suck. All this team has to do is show up
Tanking guarantees a lottery pick in what looks like will be a very

good draft. A season where they get the 7/8 seed and lose in 5 games to someone is meaningless in the long run. They need a ton of talent and getting a big time draft pick on a rookie contract is the best thing that can happen to the Knicks.
I don't disagree  
EricNY33 : 11/24/2014 12:19 pm : link
that this team could use a very good young player. I am just saying purposely tanking is horrible for the fans.

Wow... LOL
You can tell

many fans don't care about the Knicks this year. These threads used to be filled with conversation. This year it's basically "Hit me up when July gets here"

Sadly it's clearly a "give up" season and we really don't have many intriguing young talents. Shumpert has played well but I think many suspect he's gonna be dealt vs. paying him 8+ million per (he's also not a "big" talent that excites people) THjr is nothing special and 1 note. What exactly are fans supposed to do?
I guess...  
EricNY33 : 11/24/2014 1:04 pm : link
I am intrigued to see how they look in January as opposed to now. By then we should see marked improvement on both ends of the floor.

I am also interested to see what moves they are going to make during this year. If they're not going to sign Shumpert are they going to trade him? Will they move Amar'e? Can they find someone willing to take J.R.?
I mean...  
Jan in DC : 11/24/2014 1:06 pm : link
I don't think this team needs to try to tank. I've only watched a couple games this season. Acy is nice, but none of the additions are game changers and we're a roster that needs more talent.

So we wait. I'll probably watch tonight though.

The only 2 guys i expect to be moved are Shump and JR because that potentially adds 12 million to their cap space next year...

I dont expect guy slike Stat and Bargs to be moved unless its for someone being added for the future...I think Phil lets those contracts expire...
its hard to want to talk about the team...  
Italianju : 11/24/2014 1:38 pm : link
when they look like they do right now. Its not like you are going to discuss next offseason this early (at least not a ton) and its even too early to talk about in season moves (at least have to wait until the DEC 15 date).
No one expected to be good. Even me, who is usually optimistic.  
Anakim : 11/24/2014 1:41 pm : link
So I'm just watching Draft prospects and waiting until June when we draft an awesome, young player and possibly sign Marc Gasol....


Not to mention, the Deadly Three of JR Smith, Andrea Bargnani and Amare Stoudemire will be gone.

I will still watch maybe because i am just an idiot but when they lose it doesnt bother me...I know this is is nowhere near the team we will see next year...

I am starting to lean toward th rebuild next year centered around Monroe and Millsap and then a draft pick...

Maybe something like this Calderon stanimal(Dan has me hooked on this guy) Melo Millsap Monroe....Good starting 5...
ill watch the games still...  
Italianju : 11/24/2014 1:59 pm : link
if im home, but once they start playing like crap i have to turn it off. Ill keep an eye on the score and throw it on my phone or something if they make any sort of comeback.
Yeah, I'll still watch too.

BTW, guess what's trending on Twitter?


"Kobe to the Knicks"
I watch  
EricNY33 : 11/24/2014 2:54 pm : link
because I'm a Knick fan and I like basketball but it's rough when they don't seem to fight back. They never counterpunch, and when they do, it's often too late.
I want the Knicks to win  
GiantsUA : 11/24/2014 4:22 pm : link
everytime they play.

Maybe there's a Saratoga Knicks we never heard of before.
