This is even assuming we have a new GM, and assuming that Dip**** Dolan doesn't mess it up again- and these are far from givens.

Right now, the teams in the league with a worse record than us are all much closer to turning it around.

Miami might just pull a portland/utah/boston and add a quality star in the draft, get healthy & make a great signing in the off season.

Minny is in for a long term rebuild, but they have cheap youth, and are positioned to add more youth and more talent. They face a real crap shoot as to whether they make the right choices, but at least they are right there.

Seattle has durant and a ton of draft picks in the next three years.

Memphis might be the one team that might have a dimmer future since their ownership is clouded to the extent that they're trimming pay roll to be like an expansion team.

We have players that aren't good signed to deals that make moving them unlikely, or if we can move them, we get back junk like the supposed Zach to Milwaukee trade.

Even with Colangelo, we have to be realistic- we are years away from being dug out of this hole- let alone moving forward. And I don't think there is a team worse off than the Knicks.

Perhaps, but "years away" is better than what we can expect with Zeke, which is NEVER.

yea i'd say hands down the knicks have the worst team

as long as Dolan & Isiah are running the show, yeah.

minn has the worst team
they also have the worst gm

I'd trade the whole roster just for Al Jefferson. So would any GM. Sorry this is the worst run franchise in professional sports.

QFT.

Of course no team has a dimmer future.

We're #1!
We're #1!
We're #1!

Mchale has had more success than I SAY UGH as a GM of a franchise. He also has a franchise caliber player to build around we don't. They also appear to be in a better position come draft day this off-season than we will.

Knicks are the worst team in ALL sports.

But there is hope with Jerry Colangelo and a promising Rookie and a good trade. But if Isiah Thomas comes back, I quit. 25 years of rooting for this franchise will die. I'm done. I will root against the Knicks as if I was rooting against Alonzo Mourning and the Miami Heat.

Just imagine... 2008/2009 season... MSG... NY Knicks versus Miami Heat... The Garden is packed with NYrkers... rooting for Miami.
Wade for the dunk over Eddy Curry and Garden erupted with joy... standing ovation for Heat...

We don't have a chance if we don't turn the team over to the youth movement completely.

Why we don't play Morris and Chandler is just beyond any kind of excuse Isiah can throw out there.

If Isiah is going to be fired if he doesn't make the playoffs, why would he be worried about our future? This is why if you feel you have to give an ultimatum to a coach it's probably time to just go ahead and fire him

Lee is the only solid starter. And he doesn't start so...

And Zach and Jamal are black holes that foster losing basketball, individual players with lots of skills that can't play in the team concept of the game.
