NFT: Knicks Chat- As bad as expected

DanMetroMan : 10/10/2017 9:21 am
-Man they look horrible and Hornacek already looks 10 years older than he did when he took the job. I think he's a goner after the year. He strikes me as a potential solid college coach. NBA players don't appear to respond to him

-Dotson looks like a find. I'm not saying he's a future star but I think he's going to be a long term piece of a good rotation

-Beasley in a sling (MRI did not show a major injury, they are calling it a bruise)

-Pelicans lost Rondo, Washington lost Shelvin Mac. Let's send Jack there for a conditional #2.

-Wally/Hahn ripped into KP and it was caught on a hot mic, they basically repeated their comments on-air so the hot mic stuff is a bit overrated

-THjr a sweet -21 in 28 minutes of play, defensive God Ron Baker -19 in 24 minutes of play

-Knicks to announce their jersey sponsor/logo today

why were they ripping into KP

They are a pitiful team. Just unwatchable.

That's the thing. "Most" teams in the NBA have enough talent to win some games but the difference between mediocre and bad is making stops late and this team will not be able to make stops. I predict a ton of "heart breakers".

thanks...in addition to being a pretty weak team, there's some weird juju with KP still. Hope that at least sorts itself out, while the Knicks tank the season

Am I the only one that forecast the worst record in the league but somehow after the lottery picking #4? I can see it already.
We might be the worst team in basketball this season.

Especially if KP misses his usual amount of games. Not that I'm complaining.
They have looked about how i expected...  
Italianju : 10/10/2017 10:18 am : link
especially without KP playing and with Hornacek changing the lineup to get different looks. I think the Wizard game is going to be how a lot of Knick games go. We hang around for 3 and a half quarters and then the other team pulls away.

The KP stuff is starting to make me nervous. We really need him to have a strong year and get used to being the #1.

Ive really enjoyed Dotson so far. He is very athletic. Def needs to be more aggressive on offense, but that will come. I really hope he gets minutes and doesnt get buried on the bench.

dont worry dotson will be behind lance thomas because he is a leader
Dotson certainly passes the eye test.

That's a big win if he's a solid rotation piece going forward.
You guys really should have drafted Dennis Smith Jr.

Italianju : 10/10/2017 10:26 am : link
are going to suck this year. Its an obvious building year. What is going to suck is having to watch us suck while we play 30+ year old vets with zero future with the knicks

-Pick Jack or sessions and dump the other one
-Staple Ron Baker to the bench unless people get hurt
-Trade lee and KOQ to a descent team who can use them
Dennis Smith Jr. really should've shown us his medical records.  
bceagle05 : 10/10/2017 10:26 am : link
Knicks will be able to get a dynamic scorer at the top of next year's draft.

My concern is him finding minutes for a coach trying to save his job. THjr will get the majority of the 2 minutes so Lee/McDermott/Beasley/Kuz/Thomas... Hopefully guys like Lee are dealt.

I think the Baker deal is worse. Luckily Lance's deal is basically unguaranteed in year 4.
KP  
brunswick : 10/10/2017 10:37 am : link
As bad as PJ was he got it right with Porzingis. His value was never going to be higher than this offseason and should have traded him. He should have accepted the Celtics package in a heartbeat and I am sure he could have gotten excellent value from the Suns, etc...The guy has so much ability but not sure if he can be the GUY. You watch him this preseason he is turning into Melo II by stopping ball movement, etc... Guys on this board are infatuated with the names (Eli is another) but it certainly appears that the rebuild is going to be alot longer than people anticiapted and not sure if KP will be part of it.

Pretty much fully capped out with zero flexibility until 2020. Not the end of the world because I don't think they should be targeting any free agents in the next 2 offseasons- but it would still be nice to have some flexibility and possibly take on bad contracts for assets.

I still can't believe Ron Baker got 2 years 9 mill with a player option. What a parting gift from Phil.

I'd be all over New Orleans about making a deal. Send them Lee, Jack or Sessions or even KOQ for a protected 1st or multiple 2nds.. New Orleans needs to win now- take advantage of that.

Lee, KOQ and Jack to NO for Asik (2 years, cancels out Lee), Cheick Diallo (21 years old, .111 WS/48, 16.8 PER as a rookie), the Pelicans 2019 1st round pick and 2020 2nd round pick.

I'd hold onto Jack  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/10/2017 12:45 pm : link
the Knicks need to rebuild and develop young talent. By all accounts I've seen, Jack is a great locker room presence. I want the Knicks to have a combination of young players getting minutes, and old vets who can teach the young guns to act and prepare the right way, all while losing enough games to get a great draft pick.
I am amazed by some of the comments  
larryflower37 : 10/10/2017 12:48 pm : link
this is exactly what a tanking team looks like.
It will only get worse as the season progresses.
Hopefully, we do not lose KP and THR mentally

note (something to follow with THjr). Atkinson commented that he thought THjr did well with a hardass/tough love from Coach Bud. He might have the exact opposite here, maybe a dickhead like Rambis has value after all.

So who are you dropping? They have 15 guaranteed contracts.

If Bud ever shakes loose from Atlanta the Knicks should be all over him. Great coach. Let Hornacek rack up the losses and then find a real coach for next year. If things get bad I'd be fine firing him mid season but then your stuck with Rambis.

only glimmer of hope when it comes to Coach Bud is Atlanta's ownership/GM situation is in flux and it's not as if the Hawks look any better than the Knicks going forward so it's not "outrageous" to see a scenario where he would want to come here.

This. A coach on the hot seat is going to be more concerned with wins than the development of the young players.
Porzingis is no shoe in that he's going to sign  
Earl the goat : 10/10/2017 1:41 pm : link
A max deal with Knicks next year And he's certainly no shoe in to be a franchise player for Knicks

With that said I'd trade him to Boston( and Ainge would take him in a heart beat)
KP and Lance Thomas and Oquinn
For
Jaylen Brown
Jayson Tatum
Marcus Smart
2018 Lottery Pick
KP's really gonna have a bullseye on him this year.  
bceagle05 : 10/10/2017 2:47 pm : link
No Melo or Phil for the media/fans to pick on, already some diva behavior, durability concerns, etc. Hahn and Wally are going in on him a bit and it's still preseason. Gonna be a long year under the microscope on a crappy team, especially with the Giants and Jets not stealing too many late fall/early winter headlines.
Brilliant trade suggestion Earl the Goat

bceagle05 : 10/10/2017 3:00 pm : link
but Tatum, Brown and a first rounder is asking for the moon. The Knicks would be lucky to get two of those three pieces in a trade, and would have to seriously consider pulling the trigger if they did.

I know that no player is untouchable, but I'd resist dealing KP. He and Frank are versatile players with freakish length, and very easy to build around. Fast forward to June - the Knicks can take BPA at any position and feel confident they can fit him in a starting lineup with KP and Frank.
Just  
DanMetroMan : 10/10/2017 3:07 pm : link
be patient. KP/Willy/Frank + Dotson, a not old THjr, 2 2nd rounders (including the Bulls pick which should be very high) and more likely than not a very high #1. Hope Perry proves his worth and is able to spin guys like Lee/KOQ/Kanter (aka not bad players) for assets.
