I like these guys. They played well this year but they have to go

1. Noel

2. Burks

3. Bullock

4. Ntlikina

5. Payton

6. Knox

Every one of these players in theory can be replaced by a rookie or low cost journeyman

Yes it will cost us a few regular season victories

We need

1. Elite scoring wing

2. Pg who is a headache to the other team

Why does Noel need to go?

Tgis takes away from the season

I have seen no toughness since game 2

Hii is w many f rebounds and 50-50 balls did we give away tonigh

And we simply gave up here watching now

From the coach to the last player. Good regular season that has been spiked by tgis absolute sht show of embarrassment

No good takeaways here

You just swing between one extreme to the opposite with literally nothing in between

If I’m going down. I’m gonna go down swinging. The Knicks went down like they did not care.

This sort of thing is one of the reasons players don't want to come here and why so many struggle when they do- loud fans who turn on players in an instant-would you honestly want to play for such highly conditional fans?

If players play well they get praise beyond belief. If they suck they get told they suck. Its the NY way. We going to be real with you. I would not want it any other way. If you can't handle being told the truth this is not the place for you.

Well....the only players that can handle the truth are retired or about to retire. Time for knick fans to get used to this soft and sensitive generation of basketball players coming in. I dont think Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason are in the draft. Randle did the best he could do with the skills he has. Thibs tried to shake things up. Rose at 32 can only give you what he did in the regular season, which is off the bench mins. He's not ready for 40 mins a game play in thibs system. The question is, has thibs learned anything? Or will he only ride 2 players again, with a short rotation. Thibs needs to find players he can grind down or learn how to manage his players mins per the roster at hand.

We went as far as we could. It's not like we was getting out of the 2nd round anyway. Be happy these guys got some playoff experience, while keeping our cap situation in tack. Now its the FO time to step up and shine. What's the plan moving forward? We can go in so many directions at this point. Is this team ready to make a finals push next season? Are we 1 or 2 players away? If not, I would slow down on mortgaging the future with our typical moves of the past. I like what we did so far. We improved without making any significant moves. Can Randle and RJ reach another level next season? Can we get a legit star to play next to Randle? Or do we trade Randle and build around our youth movement? Thibs is here to win. And he wins with vets.

Actually it went from trade Randle....to MVP Randle.....to Randle needs help. He really has the heart of a NYer. But our skill level as a team is not on the same level as the hawks or any other team in the playoffs right now. Thats just the truth.

You had me on the title, then you lost me on the “girlie men” crap. WTF man? That’s totally crap right there in so many ways.

This is why I like this team much much more than 2012-2013 one. That was a win now team. This team is for the long term development, except we seem to have fast forwarded that because of Randle's and RJ's WORK ETHICS. Exactly what's needed
