Knicks don't keep young players to become stars unless they are tops in their draft class and we draft them.
I refuse to hope and dream anymore and make suggestions for that, unless we get another high draft choice and build around him.
Dolan wants to gets vets , no rookie stars allowed.

Well its not like Dolan's way has lead to anything good. We had 1 50 win season in 13 years and mostly bad seasons. id rather rebuild with some giid draft picks and then add free agents when teh salary cap is flexible. But we know Dolan wont do that so its gonna be a long 3-4 years

Like I said people talking for nothing it isn't happening, no young players allowed, vets only. Trade this player for draft picks or some young up and coming players,IT's NOT HAPPENING

I think the Knicks are committed to developing young players if that is possible. Even Dolan talked about how last years team broke down because of age. Keeping Murry, Aldrich and hopefully Tyler in addition to Hardaway jr is a step in the right direction. Aldrich was a lottery pick, Tyler was the top guy in his class as a high school junior and has a 7'5" wing span. Hardaway jr certainly has looked good especially for where he was drafted. For me the wild cards thrown into the mix were the Grunwald firing and the signing of Chris Smith. That makes me think anything could happen and todays plan could look nothing like tomorrows. I hope the Knicks are committed to developing their youth.

Signing young players and being committed to developing young players are two different things. We don't even send young players to the D League unless its Chris Smith. The only reason he is in the D league is because no one can stand to watch him on the team but his brother and Dolan. I am sure Murry is learning a lot on the bench cheering.

We're only allowed to make suggestions that Dolan will follow? OK - let's extend Amare's max contract, give Melo $29 mil per season, and try all our draft picks in the 2020s for Rodney Stuckey

The Knicks sent Jordan and Lin to the dleague. The Knicks signed murry. Last year it was a vet team the only youth was shump and he was hurt. I believe they are allowed a max of two guys down there. Sending guys down is an option only since the last CBA.
