Why? I'm hoping it will get Isiah fired. We need an outright collapse for this to have any chance of happening.
If we continue to win one, loose one without Crawford, Dolan can say- wow, what a great job you did without one of your star players.
Second, and this is wishful thinking, Dolan will hire someone smarter than Isiah who, like many of us fans, will realize there isn't a star player on the roster (outside of perhaps Lee) and its time to get under the cap & get younger.
And a collapse would, i think, improve Crawford's value in the league- making him tradeable. I don't need anything really great back- perhaps a future number one and his salary gone. And who knows, maybe the new GM could package Curry & Crawford to some team. Maybe Charlotte & MJ? He has been known to make some bad moves (kwame with the first pick?!).
After last nights loss, its the silver lining I'm focused on and rooting for.
Call me a hater, but I prefer visionary.
This is the annual Knick March Madness! By now we start to hope that we get bad enought to either get a good pick in the draft or we make a big change. Its about hope by this time.
Another year, another hope!
Franco, I understand your post and what you mean. Usually its hope we can draft Greg Oden or Jerry West will come and save us. The ultimate is the "Free Agent mental masterbation" game were we think a player would take a pay cut to play in NYC! OR that one player would be the final piece!
The best we can hope for is that the team actually continues to grow and the youth improve.
Isiah both had a hand in last years debacle and this years evident progress back to mediocrity!
Hey, we are not a phucking disaster like last year, but just a bad team this year. Its evident progress but if one has a brain and looks at the last 4 years its a chart that is not pretty. We won't win 39 games this year, likely not gonna make the playoffs and our Payroll is a massive joke.
The NBA gets to dole out 60million dollahs of our tax money. I think the knick failure at the payroll and the subsequent tax really is a windfall for the league!
