Hate to say it, but sometimes I think this thing is rigged.

Cleveland loses Lebron and gets three straight number one overall picks.

Minnesota loses Love and immediately gets the number one pick.

Lakers have Kobe winding down and need to rebuild - they jump up to two to get a franchise center.

Knicks are an embarrassment to the league and the league keeps the new superstars away from them.

there's been so many superstars not pick # 1, 2, or 3....in fact LBJ and Duncan were the only #1's to actually win a title in over 15 yrs..

Knicks can get a very good player at 4, probably Mudiay. He's got just as high a ceiling as anyone in the draft. Not my first choice though.. 4th actually

I never want towns or oak, i want a PG who can run a team, finish around the rim, create for others, and doesn't need a coach coach calling out ever play.

Reggie/mudaiy
THJ/mudiay
Melo
Monroe

that's a solid core, and a good off season

Except the last sentence doesn't fit the conspiracy theory. If the league was actively fixing these things wouldn't it want it's largest market teams to have success? So the league hooks up the Lakers but not NY? Why would the NBA continually screw over NY for years on end? Winning removes any stink very quickly. Look at the Clippers and how they went from laughingstock to perennial playoff contender. If the league wanted to be more successful they'd want a playoff team in NY and if they were actively pulling strings behind the scenes why would they let NY be moribund year after year?

Best point Berman's ever made

Marc Berman @NYPost_Berman

I would not blame Derek Fisher for this. Fisher did quite a bit in dropping a lot of winnable games in November and December.

We had the 2nd best chance of winning the lottery. It just wasn't in the cards.

Ha, true! I don't think people get that if we had finished with the worst record, the butterfly effect would have meant the outcome of the lottery would have been different- we could have still fallen to 4th. I was/am angry about giving up the worst record, but I know you are at the mercy of chance regardless of what you do.

Dumb organization not thinking ahead; that is all I can say about that. They always have to make things hard on themselves. Frankly,I expected better from Phil. I thought he would have had a much better handle on this franchise. From trading Chandler for nothing in return; Shump and JR for garbage; letting Carmelo play on bad knees after signing that huge contract; to not getting at least one of the top three picks, signifies to me that Phil does not know what he is doing as a front office man.
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)
