They have to add two more core pieces by the time KP reaches his second contract to have a team that will create the necessary chemistry and synergy to make consistent deep runs into the playoffs. This summer is big and the knicks would be wise to go beast player available and not reach for a PG. I think Isaac should be the goal. I think each year they should focus on doing 3 things. Drafting a starter, drafting a rotation player, and aquiring an asset(future draft pk/young FA/expiring FA).

I agree the Knicks don't need to reach for a specific position but this draft has a high level of talent and they should be able to find a PG, SG or SF in the 1st rd. The best player in that group of positions is how I would go.

You can see how Cleveland opens the floor with the 3 point shooting and adds athletiscm and speed on defense.

do not acquire any player. Rubio fox etc who can't shoot it. It shortens the floor

I like it. When do we waive everyone we have? And who do we sign that's available? Is this another Denzel Valentine thread Briggs?

Your post makes no sense. The idea is to draft more front line talent. Why are you talking like that is a foreign concept to you? This is a good draft for the kind of players we need. There is no other magical place we can hope to get better talent.

There will still be options in Free Agency and also more Euro options, but for the core of this team it's gonna have to come from the Draft.

Let me make it easy. Sarcasm asside. I don't like anyone on this team Except for Melo, KP, Willy, Holiday and Baker. Specially the owner and GM. Feel KP is very talented but because of his size and lack of physique, will always be playing out of position. Think Melo is not going anywhere so tired of that being everyones sole solution. Think Noah will hinder any flexibility to add young, already proven talent for next 3 years. Not a fan of doing what Philly or Minnesota or Phoenix or Denver has done for last ten years. As they still are not very good. Think the plan should be to hire a young GM not Triangle delusional. Get a mix of young proven players, continue to keep and make our draft picks, have a couple of vets not afraid of the moment, and lets see what else? Oh yeah..hire an experienced defensive minded assistant as we have had many games where we gave up almost 70 points in a half? 70 points!! But many on here keep talking about who can make the offense better? You can only be that bad if the entire team concept is a complete **** up.

Restricted free agency will stop us from adding young, already proven talent. Cap space isn't an issue- we'll have up to $30mil free this offseason, I don't get why people cry over Noah's contract- we have plenty of cap space.
