Galloway easily looks like a top 10 pick, he looks way better than 6th overall pick marcus smart

You're definitely NOT the only one. +100000 from me.

Look at Charlotte paying for Lance Stephenson and he flopped. Nothing you do is guaranteed to work, but you have to at least see the value in possibly adding a top talent to your team on a very affordable contract. This is a better route than what we've been doing. I'm willing to bet that any of the top 5 picks would start for the Knicks right now. I'll take that any day.

maybe for the draft but not for attracting FA's.

I think that it would be best if we lost while playing the right way and unselfish team basketball.

We already know that top FA's are hard to pull away from their current teams. The other FA's are gonna go where the money is and if their team doesn't want to pay them they'll sign here. There are only a few teams with enough cap space to be a real buyer in FA this year. The Knicks will be one of those teams.

The Knicks haven't been tanking as much as trying to teach the team how to play the right way and losing cuz they're not good enough. This team is developing players and a new culture so the Knicks are finally doing it the right way.

These were the top draft picks last yr, guess where their teams are headed this yr, back to the lottery. Parker, embiid, and randle didn't play at all.

1st of all you can't always measure a draft after one season. 2nd every draft is different. I've never been one to want to place all my eggs in the draft basket since it's so much of a crapshoot but in our case this is the one time where we have our pick and are losing big, while there are some really good players available. This isn't about just W/L's for next year. You need to get off of that as the premise for whether drafting someone this year is worth it. This is a process of rebuilding and it's not an instant Title team type of offseason.

Your way of thinking would suggest that GS didn't win when they drafted Steph and Klay. They most surely did win big with those drafted players. What if we end up with a similar result from the player we draft?

Why would he get any credit when it's Kerr that took the team to the next level. The question you should he asking is why you think Mark Jackson should get credit for Steve Kerr's success. Golden States offense was not a top offense under Jackson. They played good D and that's about it.

Mark Jackson isn't a great coach. He's a good motivator until his jesus Jesus jesus spiel gets old.

Klay went from ok last year to off the charts. I am sure that he is not thanking Jackson for that.

the musical chairs offense.
