I don't have a problem with playing the young guys, but whoever is on the floor better play hard. Watching the games on TV is not the same as paying exhorbitant ticket prices to watch millionaires flop.

Understand, it is a criminal act to throw games, which means to lose on purpose, not worth the difference between a 9th and 10th pick. If Layden was worth a damn as a GM, the Knicks would not be in this situation in the first place. This draft is not going to vindicate him.

Playing young guys or playing without enthusiasm is not what "throwing games" means.

The Knicks will not be a championship calibur team until:

- Cablevision/Dolan is gone
- Mills is gone
- Layden is gone

And only then will this team begin its work towards a championship. In the meantime, we can only hope that they play competitive and exciting basketball. Being the best in the East is meaningless when the best wouldn't even have 1st-round homecourt in the West.

Without talent you won't get home court. Talent come from drafting and picking great players. You only get great players through free agency and drafting trades are usually players of equal value and someone comes out to be a winner or the cancel each other out. If the Knicks were smart they would know that none of their players are tradeable and they are capped out so you can forget the high profile free agents they are are left with the draft pick which by the way is their most tradeable commodity which is sad. Yeah I would have liked the KNicks to have pulled a total tank this year now they are stuck in no mans land. This years draft is weak and teams won't give players for a 9 or 10 pick not good one anyway. This season was a total waste of time. Lets just hope for the lotto ball to come up orange and blue.
