LOL.. come on, this is just a bad attempt to short sell picks since the knicks have none... give me the picks, I will take my shot at Aldridge, durant, roy, Deng, David lee, iggy, wade etc..... you see what happens when you try to trade for some of these guys? you end up fleecing your own team to end up with a carmelo anthony.. good luck with that.. give me the picks, I will roll the dice with getting a lebron, wade, aldridge, etc.. and if I don't, at least I won't be stuck with a 30 year old, selfish, ball chucking, aging, guy making 30 mil a year, or some soft, one dimensional, mental disaster euro player.... And since we are talking about the talent here, give me a rudy gay or zach randolph tealent with a head on their shoulders, any day!!! What's even more hilarious is how professional scouts view the players that everyone is tanking for. This is why so many teams have been in rebuild mode for so many years. How many years is it now for Sacramento, Charlotte, Milwaukee, Toronto, Minnesota, Washington etc? No, what is more hilarious is how we are built to WIN NOW and All those teams that you were just laughing at, have more wins than us, and we have had advanced once in the playoffs since Melo has been here And some people have said they would do the trade every day of the week and twice on Sundays LMFAO All those teams would have loved to win their division last season and win a playoff series. Most of them need that moderate success for their fan base and revenue. Yet they are still searching for answers and each year they look no closer. Sacrament wants to be a playoff team so bad they just traded for Gay. I bet they would love to win 54 games just once. and they would have loved to trade a half a team 60m in cap relief, and what looks to be a top 3 pick, a top 2nd rounder, 2 more picks, of which could still be high in 2016, along with all the useless 2nd round picks we sent out that are looking quite good now, all for a player to leave before the credit card statement comes for the bill You want to talk about how much he lead Cuse to a national title in one try, had a scoring title last year, scored multiple 30 pt games with over 30 attempts each game??? Hes coming home, coming home, tell the world, hes leaving HOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOL. it is hilarous man, really. now we have no picks and fans are trying to downplay the picks... lets take a look at this.. how did carmelo anthony come into the NBA? wait he was drafted right.. and with what? a Pick... if the knicks love carmelo so much, hold onto your picks and then you can draft your own one dimensional chucker and save a lot of money and other assets in the process.. LOL
So the logic is to blow it up and trade Carmelo Anthony so we can draft our own new Carmelo Anthony? Ok got it lol. NO THE plan is to acquire as many assets as you can, so we can build a much better team, and out of that hopefully we develop a player much better than carmelo..similar to the way the pacers did with paul George.... got it? I wonder if we would be lucky enough to do that, or end up like most other teams that are still trying to find that guy. Do you have faith that our front office will be lucky enough and skilled enough to find the next Paul George? Wait a second if the excuse is that our front office is too incompetent to build through picks how do you have faith that they'll build through trades and Free agency smartly? Sorry but if they are too stupid to draft smartly etc then they'll probably build a cluster**** by doing it the other way too. Right? Or do idiots all of a sudden become competent when their building the way NY builds? Every time I hear the "well mngment will F up the draft" excuse I have to just smh. Think about it for a second. No that is not the way I see it. I like to take advantage of what our management does well. Spend money and being in the ny market allow us an advantage in free agency and trade markets that many teams don't have. Some teams only attempt to build thru the draft because they know they don't have the funds or resources to acquire potential star players in other ways. Our management is better at that part of the business than building a team like every other small market team. Using the draft to find nice role players and spark plugs like Tim hardaway is great. But if you blow it up and start over just to build your team around the next Rudy Gay or less athletic Glenn Robinson, I'm not sure how it gets us any closer to a title. It is a high reward, but much higher risk system. And I know the argument is we have done a poor job building thru free agency and trade but just as much of it can be poor luck with injuries than anything else
