How can you trade away draft picks for years and turn over the roster year after year and hope for anything better to turn out?

Noah is too old. He should have been a knick when he was drafted with our pick.

Lee is a marginal role player.

Derrick Rose was a dump and we gave up too much for him.

News flash: we're probably going to suck again next year too!

We lack athletic ability on this team--there is NO doubt about it--we lack it--it will have to be addressed in trades and or offseason. Our BEST team is CA at PF it was has been and will be. I like Kuz inside outside play. He can also handle the ball. Because we have no line upo that really puts a great defense ut there we need to rely on more aesthetic play.

Bench Lee for Baker. Baker who barely made this team, now a starter??? Briggs you f'in crazy. Way overreacting!

Rose has his first game in weeks! Let him learn and grow. I do like what I see in Baker but not over Rose and Jennings. Spot up shooter, off the bench, yes.

New coach, 9 new players, 4 rookies, 3 new starters.
Derrick not only missed two weeks of camp, he was not even there with
the team!

First game against defending champs who were getting their rings and had a hard on to play big on National TV game.
A defending champ whose team defense and team cohesion is still intact.
Rookie move would be to panic after game one. That's not going to happen.
I didn't like what I saw, but Nalod believes in HornaJax figuring it out. If not, we have a draft pick and cap flex.

We need to use our draft pick this year on a really decent PG. Im not advocating Baker to PG game #2. I just think it will evolve that way believe it or not. Hes a heady play and I like the size for the position. I like the looks of all three Euros--Kuz obviously is a guy who can play now. Im not feeling it with Noah and Lee. Im sure they will have their games--but are they consistently mid teen million dollar players? No F way. I like that we have some underbelly built in--but were going to need a really good PG prospect to go with Baker for the future--who knows if Baker can evolve into an NBA starting 1 man but I think he'll start getting a shot sometime this year. And a focus going forward is to find some athletes up front at the wing and in the backcourt. We need a BIg time infusion of athletic ability. We have almost nothing.

Last night reminded me when we would play the Nets when they were good. It would be dunk after dunk. I dont think we have very good defensive make up. Were fooling ourselves if we think we have 2012 Noah.

yes there were some problems and concerns but i dont think the knicks should overreact

Other than playing brooklyn or Bostons 3 rd string--were giving up way too many points from pre season. I dont know if we have the make up to stop other teams--were really slow.

Hey, why not start a new thread about being s-l-o-w?
Its such a great revelation that it deserves its thread!
