THIS entire thread is about how do we go about getting that stud, FA, tank, or trade. To me tanking is the worse option
We tried FA , we tried trade... and both never worked for 20 years...
We tried tank a bit and it always worked.
So what is your point again?
There's no way you can build a contender strictly through the draft, you still have to sign Fa, and make trades, and we don't have a slew of 1st rounders to begin with, not to mention a very smart coaching staff.
The knicks are a 1 step fwd, 2 step back franchise for years. they have not put all of the above together at the same time. what they do is
1)great coach, bull sht roster
2)solid roster BS coach
3)sign one FA star, with a below avg roster
4)solid role players, no star
5)decent young core, then trades them all
6)presidents with personal agendas
7)clueless owner ship
8)more off court drama than any team in sports
9)1 good FA signing, and another horrific FA signing
10)injuries
like I said 1 step fwd, 2 steps back
