2-3 years at best and I say he is gone also, it is the NY way

TH Jr is something to smile about. This Happy Case is closed.

According to a source, several teams — including the Raptors — have inquired about rookie Tim Hardaway Jr., who becomes eligible to be traded on Dec. 15. That’s a pivotal date for trade talks heating because it’s when draft picks and 2013 free agents — such as J.R. Smith, Metta World Peace and Beno Udrih – can be traded.

and

then their 2nd/3rd years, and eventually now vs their potential you originally thought for them?

Judging from our recent/past history, we should not get too excited about, any rookie here in NYK

Chances are, they will likely get traded or moved to another team
Players generally perform and DEVELOP their abilities/potential better than they do as a Knick

Learn from our history, don't get too excited for our young talent, especially when they are ROLE PLAYERS
The biggest heart break is that we always MOVE THEM with little in return for them, USUALLY SELLING AT THEIR LOW if not ALWAYS while OVERPAYING for some crap player
While the picks we usually give up, tend to become either good, solid, or great players (or players picked after)

In other words, WE NEED stability where it counts most, our management and president, with a coach, development coaches to value our youth
Most importantly, where they can work TOGETHER with a plan, without being undermined by what MR. Dolan thinks he and his friend knows about BBALL and players

Dolan stay away and hire people that can do the job right and allow them to do their job because you and your buddy Isiah continue to make a mess after mess that is costing us and cost us 20years of doom, when is it enough to admit you have NO CLUE about how to run a Sport's Organization or a business, YOU ARE NOT MARK CUBAN....

This is why I'm confused when folks talk about the knicks trade away draft picks too much what the difference when the player they draft will be traded in a yr or 2.

What's so funny?

He's better than Shump! I think the dude has real potential. He's going to get better. Don't be surprised if the kid is a starter next year. Klay Thompson son.

edit: ok maybe not klay Thompson but maybe cuttino mobley? I keep thinking of him

THJr looks like a man of character. Because of this I believe in him as future solid NBA player.
And for this very reason he has no place in NY. Dolan cannot take any man of character on this organization.
He will brake the man (Shrump) or send him packing.

I'll be even happier when we finally bring in Tyler and give Murry some run.

Three crazy things to make everyone in orange (not the unis) and blue feel better.

1. If 57 year old Pablo can channel his Fountain of Yoot into 30 minutes a night, perhaps his basketball knowledge will rub off on his running busdy, IMan Shumpert.

2. If the remaining healthy bodies can circle the wagons unti Tyson Chandler returns... not fall apart... learn to trust each other a skoobtch more... and and win a few games, the Knicks will have endured a blast furnace of insults and rumors. They will be stronger for it.

3. If Mike Woodson can bust his pet project, JR's chops... he can bust anyone's chops. The prime directive is in effect. Order is restored. "You suck. You sit."

Are we having fun yet?

Yes, we have our new sixth man.
