Arent the Knicks 3-19 in their last 22 games?
That’s 3 wins to many. They won a lot of unnecessary games in the beginning. A youth development year turned over to vets. Wasted Year with nothing accomplished players are raw as the first game they walked into. A disgusting lottery position for a supposedly rebuilding team.
lets actually think about what you wrote. When KP/THjr were healthy and winning games you were upset? When the Knicks were +500 after all those home wins did you have this attitude? When KP was playing like an all star that bothered you? You are a big salty baby. 3 wins too many! Fire Jeff! Damn those Knicks trying to win games. Damn that KP and his all star season ruining Vmart's lottery hopes and turning it into another wasted season! Vmart you are a funny dude.
in fairness, I would say most us thought the record was fool's gold because of how many home games they played, on how terrible they were on the road (well, everyone except the resident Nostradamus eny who would mock anyone that thought it was fool's gold)
totally agree. Should we have tried to lose those games? That is my point. Did the Knicks do something wrong or foolish by winning those games?

I mean.. how do you take this text and project to some kind of rational anything from the front office? So they hurt our lottery position. Did we not see KP become an all star during those wins? Did we not see Frank play game changing defense in those wins? Did we not see Harday JR play well during those games and he's currently on pace to have career highs in ppg, assists, steals and rebounds. Beasly is having his best year in the league in 5+ years since his rookie deal. Kanter's first half #s were all career highs... But Vmart would say
Wasted Year with nothing accomplished players are raw as the first game they walked into
which is utterly false. I am not saying you have to love this front office. I am not even defending them, plenty of question marks. But whats the point of dropping the same salty turd on every thread based on made up facts? Its a drag, and those are good for smokes and queens, not Knick message forums.
What do we have to show for this season? KP becomes an All-star and than predictably tears up his knee ( who couldn't see that coming ). Even Phil Jackson knew he was an injury risk. The whole season adds up to this: Our franchise player had his career projection altered, we pick 9th, find out our high pick PG is a SG, and we are 2 years away from getting out from Noahs deal.
At the time of the draft. Who was our PG, SG or SF of the future? I don't think they drafted Frank strictly because they felt he would be a PG. The possibility that he could play multiple positions was probably one of the positives they gave him in his scouting report. The signing of Hardaway Jr by Mills kind of forced that issue. I believe the idea behind taking Frank was more so about his foundation then his position. He is a player with size & length with strong intangibles and work ethic. Needs to build up his craft and body. There will be a time when his craft and body will be seasoned and combined with his size, length & intangibles. That's what Frank was drafted for. Won't hit on every pick, but the principals on which they drafted Frank for was right on the money.
What we accomplished this season? Well we were able to move on from Melo in a clean break for both sides. If Kanter opts out then we basically saved 18-20mil off our 2018 salary cap from the deal. We also got Chi's 2nd round pick this yr in a pretty deep draft. Our G-League has seemed to have picked up a lot of steam this yr showing we finally have some type of foundation for developing players. We added Perry who continues make high reward minimal risk type additions.
Going forward our target should be 2019 cap space and adding multiple talented prospects on rookie scale contracts while KP rehabs. As long as we haven't done anything to disrupt that we are on the right path.
