Sucks, but alas, hindsight

not "because".

Yes, hindsight.

However, it was 2 mistakes. The second one was picking Early.

True. Hindsight again. Yeah, they should've taken Clarkson and/or Jokic over Early, Thanasis and Labeyrie, but pretty much everyone was excited when we took Early.

And if we have Crowder we may have picked lower in the draft

and missed out on KP

At least is Phil is being honest

..that's refreshing. I still think his entire tenure here has been refreshing but that's just me. I wasn't expecting Rome to be built in a day. Knicks appear to me to be on the right track. I'm excited for this coming season and beyond.

Outside of the fisher thing

That wasn't very refreshing.

Doesn't have to justify anything as long as he lives, 10 fucking rings does that. This crap about if he can be a good GM is just that, crap. he needs time though, this organization has been horrific, not bad, horrible. Give the man time, he will do it.

Well, we've got all of our picks finally,

and a good young nucleus. Phil's done 100% better than the clowns who held that position over the years (e.g., IT, Grunwald, Layden).

Crowder

Playing for the Knicks would have probably never become the player he is currently.
