I won't spend a dime on the team as it is now. I would also be sick if we get the number 1 or 2 draft pick after this season and have to give it away.
Blame your best-friend Isiah then, don't blame the current group.
Playoffs or not, the Knicks aren't bad enough to get that #1. Anyway, what happens to that pick isn't our business anymore. If that is our only motivation to win, then we really suck as a franchise.
I would waste money on them because its my team no matter who dressed the orange and blue. Only bandwagoners wait for the team to win to start rooting for them. Finally the team has some young and exciting players to root for. A system and a plan. Why do knicks fans have to find a negative to everything? They enjoy suffering? Masochism? Even if we had some of the players people drool for here, they would find a way to spin it end-of-the-world.
Rooting for the Knicks 24/7!
Say what? What is the point of a professional sports franchise if it isn't to win games? Frankly the only reason and I mean the only reason the Knicks remain even remotely relevant and aren't in the process of being sold is because they happened to be located in the biggest American city.
Bitty, read the first part because it was about that. I'm saying that if our only motivation to win is to prevent the pick owned by Utah from becoming a top one, then we really suck. We can't worry about that pick since it isn't ours anymore.
So shouldn't the objective ALWAYS be to win? Losing the draft pick should be an added motivation not a reason to lose.
Added motivation? You think the players will have the pick on their minds when playing? Its not their responsability that pick is in Utahs hands. They aren't gonna hustle more because of it. The bottom line is always winning, which they will try to up to their abilities, but because they want to win. Not to prevent Utah from scoring a top pick.
