But uh uh. It took years but finally because of Phil Jackson (THANK YOU PHIL) and Scott Perry The Knicks have finally embraced the draft

However, after only 3 games 3 games you had posters advocating turning around in mid stream and abandoning the rebuild by signing injury proned Isiah Thomas.

In additional to the aforementioned Curry/Jordan Noah, Clee, are other examples of why it was foolish to advocate abandoning the rebuild.

Tonight's game demonstrates why the Knicks have made the right decision to go with the youth and build through the draft. Obviously the rebuild is gong to take time but it is a step by step piece by piece process

2015 High draft pick: Kristaps Porzingis - Piece by Piece

2017 High draft pick: Frank Nitilikina - Piece by Piece

2017 Second round pick: DD - Piece by Piece

2018 Should be a high draft Pick: Michael Porter, Luca Doncic - Piece By Piece

2018 Chicago's pick should be high 2nd second round: Another piece

Seeing the way KP and Frank play tonight wow. The only negative let's hope Frank does not jeopardize Porter or Doncic. And finally can we stop the silliness about abandoning the rebuild in order to return to the old ways?

Kanter,Willy
KP,Oquin,Bulls Pick
Doncic,McDermott
Thjr,Lee/Dotson
Frank,Baker,Jack

I think the Knicks would be fighting for chips in a few years with That roster healthy

But with that said, if Frank flourishes and KP keeps throwing down 30 Pt games, while the team is playing top of the line defense, and the Knicks sneak into the playoffs, top players will be lining up to play with KP so really its a win win for this roster right now either way.... its really fun to watch these guys develop! Kanter included! We finally have valuable players other teams will want ! It’s going to be exciting to see how this all unfolds.

Not sure I saw what you are describing. What I saw, frustration that Frank cud onky stay on te court fr 26 minutes through the sl, preseason and the first fur eas of te regular season, not winning in the preseason or regular season, not playing the youth or one of the members of the core four. I don't see anyone asking for the kids to be traded. Willy might be traded but that is because, thank you Phil, the Noah contract. Phil could only trade next years pick based on the cba. Thanks Phil for not trading the 2018 pick. Thanks for accidental tanking every year you ran the Knicks.

i know you despise Phil and i agree he made mistakes definetly but at the same time you gotta be fair he lefts us with some good youth to build a foundation on

That’s the fair thing to admit about Phil. At least he got this team some legit talent to build with.

In a league exploding with athleticism, we are relatively slow in the from court w KP,wily And Kanter. OQuinn and Noah are no premier athletes either.
Kanter imo is expendable as his game is without defense or athletic. If we keep Wily ans KP and Draft a big (or Mike Porter)we will become athletic and better defensively with either big chosen in the top 5. Stretch Noah. Trade OQuinn and Kanter while his value is high

i was really excited when Dolan hired Phil and gave him autonomy. I grew very frustrated with him because of his odd combination of arrogance, incompetence and laziness in his approach. I will give him credit for recognizing that the team he put together that first year that he thought was a lottery team and resetting to tank. Bernangomez was a great signing and pick. If he has to be traded because of one of Phil's bad free agent signings it will suck. I don't think we know what the knicks have yet in Frank. KP was the logical choice at four. Phil didn't trade the 2018 pick, the pick that almost went in the proposed Lowry trade, because it was the first pick the knicks could trade. If you think that is a great body of work by a gm then we disagree. It would be hard for any NBA employee not to at least get those things right.

when did i ever say phil had a great body of work? In fact if you go back you would see that i criticized phil at least 95 percent of the time. I bashed him for the noah signing,rose trade,the chandler and jr smith/shumpert trades, even the way he handled the melo drama and i dont even like melo. I mean does that sound like someone who thinks phil did a good job? All i said was that phil did a good job with most of our draft picks....thats all. Maybe its time to forget phil and just focus on how Perry does building on the youth we have

Sounds good. Hard not to go there if you respond to a post with, I know you despise Phil...

That’s the fair thing to admit about Phil. At least he got this team some legit talent to build with.

was danilo, ariza, nate, lee, frye, chandler not solid picks, even though Isaiah traded picks, he acquired more picks than any president in the past 30yrs.

I know some of you feel I'm not for building through the draft, but that's really not the case. Im just not into tanking for no high pick when that has a higher chance of being a bust, as oppose to trading for a really good player.

agreed on all accounts..

Regarding Stephen Curry/Jordan Hill, perhaps if we did a better job of tanking we'd also have Jahlil Okafor instead of KP. Who's on board with that swap?

or we would have Towns instead of KP but that didn't fit your narrative. It is always better to pick higher.
