You have to start somewhere, this seems like a rational next step for us in our climb from the cellar. People need to chill on the over the top freak out. We have decent players and maintained flexibility that a rebuilding team needs to make to clear the next hurdle.

The roster is more balanced and the new guys are all short contracts that can be traded for assets. Sure we payed a premium for the shorter contracts but it doesn’t make them bad contracts.

Logical fans agree with this. But I think others are influenced by what fake news is saying about us

I agree the Knicks are better. But is it worth it at the expense of our home grown draft picks? Your basically putting together a team with no championship aspirations and diminished playing time for the home grown young players. Sorry If I think this a rebuild gone wrong.

I mean that's not really fair or true. they are not making these moves to tank. They clearly want us to be competitive without killing our flexibility longterm which some don't understand. Every team should have championship aspirations so not sure what point you are trying to make lol

What does flexibility give you? Have you not learned from the last two major free agency trends. You need to develop your home grown players they will bring this franchise back not the free agents we signed.

I don't see how they wont be developed? They neede to fill out the roster since we only had like 7 or 8 players signed. The kids are still the priority dude

Having veteran players on the team will help the kids develop the right way. We also have Mike Miller with the big club as an asst. Come on man, did you really think any or the tier 1 FA’s were coming here to play with the a bunch of unproven rookies and scrubs. Cudos to Perry for recognizing that so early in free agency, having a plan B as soon as the clock started and the balls to execute it knowing the blow back we were going to get.

You need to try walking on the sunny side of the street.

Not when it’s burning up. I hope the Knicks do well and make a concerted effort to develop their young players. I make no bones about it never felt Fizdale is the guy that will help the young players move the needle.

Nola which had Jrue and Randle and AD won 33 games. Do we really think we'll win more than that? We won the right to a crappier draft pick -- that's about it

time to clean house

Our FO was supposed to make the team a destination: instead we're cheering no toxic signings and they're all tradeable. (Of course anyone could have just signed them but didn't; our logic is someone would prefer to trade than buy as if this is a big thing...) (BTW I am glad we didn't sign KD or KI just noting the fallacy). Last year Casey, Budenholzer and Clifford were available; we scored Fizzle whose best asset at this point may be his wife

Our charismatic Coach alienated KP (who certainly deserves blame as well), demoralized Frank, and got Mud's shooting % up (anyone hearing anything other than crickets about Mud); our prized lottery pick looked studly in Summer League but once coach go a hold of him he turned into a lost soul, chucking shots and losing his man on D.

Our passing got worse, our defense got worse. Anyone remember Mill's words at his opening press conference saying how the team was going to pass to get a better shot, play D. Mills never sent that memo to CS apparently

This year will be different though -- just wait until the secret plan is unveiled
