But everything we did off-season was based on we that run. That Derrick Rose and kemba Walker could each play 60-65 games healthy. ThT Fournier wouod give us a needed fourth jettison
But the reality is every single move was a bust.The house was built needing Derrick Rose 2020 and it’s not getting that. All the vets like 2014 is busting
Noel -bust
Burks- bust
Fournier - bust
Rose— bust
Walker— bust
Randle —for the most part bust
Draft picks — at this point just unknown fair decent some possibilities


I thought the knicks would win 44 games (due to Thibs grinding wins out from this roster). Do I have to STFU since I picked the Knicks to win less than 45 games, or can I still add my comments?

I loved last season- it's what we all needed, wouldn't give it up for anything. If we'd stunk, we would have ended up drafting Suggs who's been one of the most disappointing players in the top 10 lottery.

Yup, or some other scrub.

Mobley is amazing, so is Scottie Barnes.

I agree with the Derrick Rose being a bad deal. He is a good player but the injury issue is big. He isn’t reliable as he is in the down turn of his career. The biggest reason is Thibs has proven he can’t be great without Rose. It would be wise for him to find a Rose type to cling on to. I totally agree it would be in Thibs best interest to play McBride in a Rose type role.

Like I said Thibs is a average coach who runs his players into the ground. Stubborn to a fault.
