NFT: Knicks could have easily have #4 pick in lottery ?

.. but I want into the top three.

Justin Jackson is my guy.

I like Ball but I don't know a whole lot about the draft in the NBA I just know it's a good year.

I heard the next lebron is in high school now? If so and he's a freshmen in college next year it could be worth trading Melo and tanking for him next year

The top three is the place to be, but may be too much to ask for, too late.
Tankathon - ( New Window )

to land in the top four. Glad to see we're embracing the tank though. Hope we do the same next season, and we'll really be onto something.

the knicks will get lucky in the lottery

You mean Josh Jackson. Justin Jackson will probably go late teens - twenties

.

They'll sit melo and rose and somehow start a win streak.

Because the players they will be playing will qork together and actually play hard and play defense...

the "full triangle" next year, says it was a mistake to try to blend it with an uptempo offense this year.
more triangle! - ( New Window )

thats fine just fucking commit to it and stop going back and forth..

Bye bye Melo and Rose.

No help from Orlando or Philly tonight. Sacramento I can't see winning another game. I think we have a better chance staying at 7 than dropping all the way to 4.

Justin Jackson from North Carolina? Are you serious????

Have been longing for. But its the Knicks, therefore he will get picked right before their selection. Still pissed the Knicks took KP from my Orlando Magics, i knew he would be really good.

It's funny how that much one spot difference can change a franchise, even if its not within the top 3.

If Orlando took KP things would've looked pretty promising. Gordon, KP. Keep Oladipo and Sabonis. Not a fan of Payton but he's a plus as a backup/6th man.

But they took Hezonja and everything went to shit. I still like the Knicks long term over the Magic for that reason. Gordon is going to be one fine player, but I don't think he's a franchise center piece by any means.

but can you imagine if Philly had taken KP instead of Okafor? I'm not sure he would've hurt their tank either - they would've just shut him down with some of these nagging injuries.

the knicks took mudiay and KP fell to Denver.

You're looking at a young core of KP, Jokic, Harris, Murray and the younger 'Gomez, who isn't bad himself.

8-2. Do we know how to tank?

the Kuz/Baker/Plumlee trio will soon restore order.

than pointing out a player who is left-handed.

does he not realize yet that he is not an offensive weapon? concentrate on defense and hit a corner 3 stop trying to drive on gobert...

or wait am i supposed to root for him to drive on gobert?

We are gonna beat the Jazz!

why someone is handing George Hill $100 million this summer?

shhh it may be the knicks

I feel guilty even watching this crap.

Blow it already.

I don't feel any shame or remorse from rooting against this team within games anymore.

We're in the same boat. Just get better. Rip the band-aid off. Get Melo out of here. And rebuild.

They would've had to take him blindly because KP refused to work out for them.

It's like he's playing on an 8-foot rim.

give zero effort to box out or rebound.

Usually he destroys us. I've never seen him look this bad.

one trying to win

baking!

looks more like an exec at Goldman with courtside seats than an NBA coach.

Dude picks this year to be a fucking iron man.

Rose. Turns over an easy pick n pop with KP.

They are trying to run the triangle and the lowly Ron Baker is better at that than Rose is. Playing Rose is tanking ... which is fine.

Rose and Melo checked back in

.

Hate having to grind these out.

Gobert is absolutely destroying us.

we seem to be playing without an actual C tonight, so that is not surprising.

really tough to stomach.

Tank's gotta roll through Portland tomorrow night.

Much as we laugh at the Lopez brothers, the one we had for a year was actually a pretty good fit with KP in that regard.

God if Gobert got 35 tonight I don't wanna see what Nurkic does. KP/Willy having to cover Rose's ass when Dame blows by him is gonna lead to a lot of easy buckets.

especially when he was fighting Ibaka last night. We could sure use an enforcer down low.

Hornacek is still fouling? He's gonna coach game 82 like it's game seven of the Finals.
