Everytime i've been reading and hearing media and fans talk about Phil they keep saying he hasn't gotten anything in his deals but that isn't true. they forget that we got
Larkin, Early and Thanasis in the Tyson trade. Also Ellington was used in a trade that brought in
Acy so all told the Knicks did actually get 4 young players who are currently still in the mix with the team. Sure they didn't pick up Larkins option but that doesn't mean he won't be brought back. There's still a chance he is resigned. Phil also got a pick from Indiana and took
Louis Labeyrie. Who knows if he ever turns into anything but it's not exactly true that Phil isn't trying to add young prospects.
Then you look at Wear and Galloway and that's like 2 more draft picks. 2 guys who actually seem like they fit in this system. We'll see if Lance Thomas actually has something to offer. OK people can kill Phil for the 2019 2nd but overall he has been fairly active in getting some young prospects in here. Also he's not necessarily done yet with more time to get something done.
