We could have potentially moved up to 7th and increased our odds of moving up in the lottery to draft Porter or Doncic - in my opinion, a tier up from Carter and Bridges. Every little bit helps man

Also Sacramento just won so maybe we could’ve gone to 6th. Who knows?

Now, the league DOES need to do something with the tanking. This season has been too obvious. I’d create a mechanism where teams that evidently rested healthy players and had unreal losing streaks would get fewer chances at the lottery.

At this point, if we are getting the 8th, it can still happen. If not? Pick the best player available as we know there will still be good talent there.

Knicks got good looks and hit them. Burke continues to run the offense well. Frank and Dotson looked great on defense. Kornet has more to his game than just hitting 3s, he's an excellent passer also.

There is such a thing as momentum for next year. If these guys like Kornet, Dotson, Hicks, Burke all know that they have a shot to pick up where they left off they are going to work very hard this summer and have more contact with the Knicks staff... this is how you build continuity. You have a bunch of hungry guys that come back knowing an offense, knowing expectations and looking to fight for NBA rotation minutes.
