Here are the final 2 paragraphs.

"There will be trades, promises of big-name players the following summer and probably a big fat contract extension for Anthony as well.
But the Knicks will never change. Dolan will never change. The people around him will never change and thus the culture will never, ever change. And one more thing that will stay the same: the Knicks will continue to be a laughingstock."

At times, all of us have said that until Dolan goes, this team is not going anywhere. The Yankees got lucky and The Boss was suspended for 2 years. In that period, they hired Gene Michael and reformed the team. Donnie Walsh was brought in and things started to change but, "Little Jimmy", was not getting the credit, so he canned Walsh and now the team is back to being a perennial loser, just like its owner.

The only way to fight him, is to STOP. STOP it all. STOP watching, stop going, stop buying and perhaps most importantly, stop talking about the team. When the team is off the radar, then and only then will something change.

I know what to do, it's just hard to do.

Actually, Dolan will continue to win. He has enough bank to over pay so-called NBA stars to play for the knicks, which will fill the seats and sell championship dream(s). I'm just waiting for the highly respected fans (Spike Lee, Walt Frazier, 90's Knicks, etc...) to step up and sway Dolan into a winning direction. All we need is to bring back some of those 70's / 90's old school players or managers to change the culture from out scoring the opponent to stopping the opponent. Having too many offensive players, brings more inconsistency and less wins. Adding more defensive players (aka K.Mart) will make us more relavent. It's not rocket science. We took the offensive route and it didn't work...(, Amari, Melo, JR. Then tried to balance it with defense, and the result was 54 wins. The only problem is that was a one and done year, since most of our defensive / high IQ players were 38 and up. We have the right formula to win. It takes somebody to step up with high basketball IQ that Dolan can trust.

Not sure what parts we add or can add to this core of Melo, THJr, JTyler (backup PF), Prigs (backup PG). Pretty thin pickings.

jrodmc - the moment Carmelo walks, Andrea Bargnani becomes our leading man. It is not his skill set as much as his demeanor that causes the disconnect. A poor mans Darko Milicic, with a blank stare attitude.

Without draft picks, the Knicks are relegated to castaways and rejects. Trash. Tyreke Evans? C'mon Son! There is little to be found in recycling plastic bottles and crushed aluminum cans, while everyone else is shopping on Fifth Avenue.

Import the Summer League roster and call it a day.

I miss Chris Copeland

True they were able to build that dynasty core when George was banned from baseball, but George did know the sport and he won two rings as the owner before this last run.. and he did so by getting Reggie to NY... so he was not some complete incompetent owner like dolan.

Yanks aren't handcuffed by a salary cap either....They can spend to fix their problems....Knicks cannot....

Thanks to the AnswerMan for making things worse than they already are.

The Answer Man was campaigning for Tim Hardaway Jr but got stuck in traffic.

How is 37 wins accurate? We have 21 and show no signs of winning again anytime soon.

the team imploded, something that the prediction model did not take into account.
