its not sloppy thinking. The simple fact is with no chance of a real playoff run and a lousy shot of making the playoffs the Bucks played young guys, rested their star and planned for the future. They did what we NEVER do, and thats gave themselves a shot at franchise talent. Even if they dont win they have a good idea what Zaza Pachulia and Gadzurich can give them. They did EXACTLY what the Knicks never do. Now the Knicks will go on with their great super successful patern while the Bucks have franchise talent to build around.

There is NO positive spin on Jackie Butler getting ZERO minutes, Ariza getting a DNP and our only franchise player in MArbury playing 40+ minutes when the team is totally out of contention. Its bad management. THATS the sloppy thinking going on here.

All I have ever asked is one of these years when the team is out of the race play the kids and just give yourself 1 chance to win a shot a franchise talent.

If the Knicks played Ariza, Sweetney, Butler and Bruno down the stretch to see what they have and didnt win the lottery no problem. We did the right thing, lets get ready for the draft and FA.

This management and ownership sucks, and last night was just another example of their ineptitude staring themselves in the face while another team with half a brain got "lucky"

One thing is for sure, we don't need none of the hair braded, tatooed out, substance abuse, type of players in N.Y.

Yeah, do you think Utah fans are crying that they should have won four more games to get that six spot so they could make the jump to number 1?

So what now??? trade them or keep the picks. According to most of you, we mind as well not even have a draft picks unless there in the top three, which is dumb and ridiculous

haven't heard anyone say that, let's not be stupid in our overexaggerations...what would i do w/that #8 pick now? it all depends...if there's a chance Greene will be there, i say keep it & hope for the best...if not, i say try to package the #8 w/the #30 to move up a couple spots if you can...if that's not feasible, i'd consider trading down to get 2 picks in the mid teens, but i don't see any team willing to give up 2 picks for a #8 in this draft.

basically, unless Isiah makes an incredible pick or a blockbuster trade, we're going to have another Mike Sweetney situation develop here...a mediocre prospect not getting as much playing time as he should for the next couple years while this team flounders to yet another crappy season of missing out on the playoffs & ending up w/more #8 type lottery picks to add to our growing collection...oh joy.
