One big gripe for me- why don't we buy picks?

When really nice prospects like Bill Walker and Darrell Arthur get traded away for cash- not players- just cash, how are we not looking to make these kinds of moves. We don't have many assets/strengths except throwing away money. We can't throw away money on prospects that fell because of health concerns? These guys may not turn out to be anything, but if there's barely any risk in taking on these assets, in the position we're in, how can we be sleeping on this?

Yeah I'm not sure either. Did Donnie have a history of doing that in Indiana?

Donnie made comments that he was unable to trade for a second round pick... I guess Dolan has finally shut the bank

Look at Portland wheeling and dealing, trading down, trading cash, trading guys taken this year for picks next year....

Dolan is the only reason i can think of... he doesn't mind throwing money away $60 mil on overpaid talent like Zach but doesn't wanna spend a mil to take a flyer on a prospect... ridiculous.

Gallinari was the missing piece. We don't need anymore players, and we need to get rid of Lee (for balance).

Championship... Here we come!

I honestly don't see Dolan as being the reason behind it. It's easy to blame Dolan for everything, but I really think Donnie has control. If Dolan had input, theres no chance in hell we'd be talking about Danilo Gallanari being a Knick right now.

u may be right... it's puzzling so naturally the logical explanation goes to Dolan.

I thought our one strength as an organization was wasting money!

I think we have enough players under contract. WE bought picks before and let them go when there was no room. Unless you draft a euro and let them play over their.
