NFT: KP's brother met with Jax, didn't go well

Take the world's biggest, bright eyed optimist, and make them a Knicks fan.

See how long it takes before you drive their soul into the ground and turn them into a cynic.

The first 2 years of KP's career he's averaged nearly identical amount of games played as Davis in his career, so not sure why one can be tagged with the "injury" bug and not the other. My overall point was the Pelicans had 4 solid starters around Davis and so far the best that's happened was getting swept in the first round of the playoffs. Right now we only have one solid young starter (willy). So if we end up with simply a Jrue Holiday and Ryan Anderson-caliber players in the next 2 years (both very solid players) the future will suddenly start looking bleak. giantsfan i never said this was going to be easy, knicks have a ton of work to do and there is no guarantee of anything... i am just not going to go around hating the team i root for every second of the day, sorry there is no fun in that, the minute i start thinking that my team has nothing and i go around hating them 24/7 i no longer want to be a fan because that is not fun to me.. i watch sports to get away from life for a couple of hours if that is not fun anymore i am goijg to stop doing it, life is to ahort to view everything doom and gloom... and i am mot saying i am true fan and people who hate phil are not true fans, everyone is a fan i just viee it differently

Well sorry I'm not trying to ruin being a Knicks fan for you. I think I'm more optimistic than probably every other Knicks fan on this board besides you, but I'm still struggling to see it. The NBA is a sport where I enjoy watching other teams almost as much as I like watching the Knicks. I like watching other NFL teams but not as much to the extent as it is with me and the NBA. I only watch the Yankees in baseball and the World Series.

So even being a biased Knicks fan, I wouldn't even talke them top 3 as far as post-Lebron/GS teams go. That's just me being practical. Ignoring the immortal Spurs I'd much rather be a fan of the Bucks, Wolves or Sixers. No other team really even comes close for me. Boston is probably the next for me now that they have Fultz. I think Browns going to be lethal. I'd take KP over Booker but I don't think I'd take KP/Willy/#8over Booker, chriss, ulis, #4 and whatever bender will be. But I'd take being in the east over the west, however.

Phoenix, Denver and NYK are all in the tier after MIL, MIN, PHI, and BOS for me.

i mean come on seriously?

Seriously? Yes I do. The knicks are an abomination. I've learned if you think Its fucked up or bad here then it most definitely is.

The bottom line is if the Knicks can improve KP will be just fine. And if by the time he can become a FA they don't improve there are bigger things to worry about.

i know its a long road for the Knicks, i just choose not to be miserable about it..

hopefully knicks embrace the rebuild, i am taking a break for awhile from knicks threads

That was me. And now I don't even want to follow this team anymore.

I have been following them since the early 70's and I am really questioning whether or not I should even bother to spend the money on NBA League Pass this season. Each season I do and almost regret it as money wasted.

and the Cavs and Warriors being so dominant. This season had absolutely zero intrigue, and I'm a big enough NBA fan that I would watch a Clippers/Spurs game or something on a random Thursday night in years past. Not this year though. Really couldn't care less - I've just been waiting for a Melo trade and the draft.

But phil jackson and the knicks propaganda machine have perpetuated that melo is the source of all our problems here. Even phil in LA is on board. It's all bullshit. Melo has his warts to be sure but if anything, the knicks enabled him and probably extracted Melo's short comings or insecurities.

It's never going to get better. It's rotten. Knicks will dump melo for chicken fried shit and everything will he just peachy. Maybe things will improve for a bit. Maybe the knicks win 40 next season and this year's pick shows promise along with KP and Gomez. And then it will turn to shit. This franchise has no ability to build anything of substance let alone sustain anything. Maybe it's all coincidental and it isn't really Dolan. Maybe it is. All I know is it's fucked.

Dolan can be loyal, to a fault. Phil isn't going anywhere unless he quits. He won't.
