if the knicks continue their losing ways, and there is no indication their free fall won't stop, they could finish with the 5th worst record in the league. as some of you may know, the 5th record is the highest a team has ever been to win the lottery. houston, when they won the lotto to take yao, was the 5th worst team in the league. 6 or lower has never won, but 5 usually finds a way into the top 3 just by luck of the draw. (the knicks are tied for 5th now -- blame the injuries baby!)

isiah's failure to even TOP TWO!!!!!! protect the pick means the knicks could very well give up oden or durant this year.

worth point out again, just to make your day that much worse.

oh and jared jeffries sucks.

Yes, but if Curry was in the draft he would be....

Curry is worth....

Oh hell, this isn't funny anymore.

I thought the Magic won when they were the lowest lottery team (something like 13 that year)

Marbury costed two picks too. He is the worst move by far..........

Last year's pick was not that big an issue to me, but IT should have insisted on top-3 protection for this year's pick or else he should have told Paxson to go jump off a bridge. The Bulls would have likely caved.

I like Curry but with the collapse, we are giving the Bulls too high of a pick. If it were the 10-11 pick, I would not have as much of a problem with it because if Curry continues to improve, he will become at worst a near-franchise caliber starting center. But if we have to give up a top-2 pick again and lose out on Durant or Oden, then clearly the Curry trade was a bad deal.

I blame some of this on Larry. If that a-hole had tried to actually coach the team to win, we would have been further along last year and would have started this season on a more positive note. We lost 4-5 games at the beginning of the year just from the taint of Larry's bs.

ooh I SO disagree. larry indeed stunk it up last year, but that actually gave the team an extra boost cming into this season. plus isiah alredy knew everybody and had more than enough time to prepare them to hit the floor running. lb's just an escapegoat if you're taking about this season IMO.

I certainly am not saying everything is Larry's fault. This team should have played better and gotten closer to 38-39 wins at least, but I do think that last season affected our start and cost us some games. This final month though has been brutal. We should have finished at about 37-38 wins.
