We did not tank. We didn't have enough to win. If tanking was our objective, there was no way in HELL that we would have won those two games near the end of the season.

winning those final 2 games isnt something to be proud of. By doing so we missed out Towns. I had no problem tanking simply because its time for the knicks to use the draft to help build a good team. For 15 years we threw away first round picks and got worse. Golden state got good by drafting and then adding pieces. The bucks are now getting there by drafting and now adding monroe

The real problem with tanking is we dont have a pick in this draft, if we did I would be all for losing again, and I would care less what happened in FA. Now we will be awful and have no hope at all

to tank?


LOL - no I meant killed our chances of having a respectable enough team to attract FAs

seriously the roster was still awful


It was average - just .049 below .500. If you're around .500 you're by definition average.
I'm sure a top FA sees a near .500 team and thinks he can bring it up to .600, which means top 3 in the east.
When they look at a .207 team, they probably want to puke.

LOL the Knicks were never finishing .500 with Carmelo hurt give me a break


Yeah, that's one of the two factors I cited! Could you re-read my original comment?
