The 76ers tanked for 5 seasons and now have a super-young 52 win team with at least two potential superstars and will probably be adding another high draft pick from the Lakers this Summer. We've sucked for 5 years. Does anyone here think that we'll win 52 games next season? The season after that? How many years do you think it will take to be as good as Philly is today?
Totally agree with you man the process works.
You have been going hard after the front office since the Knicks actually began trying to rebuild 10 months ago. It makes it hard to think you could stomach anything close to what Hinkie did in Philly.
This team has sucked for nearly 20 years straight with almost nothing to show for it and I'm still around. I've been calling for us to tear down and rebuild that entire time so at least we might suck with purpose. And I don't know what you're talking about by the front office actually began trying to rebuild. Paying $18M/year to an at best league-average SG doesn't sound like a rebuilding move to me.
I am talking about since Perry has been in place. Not a fan of Mills past or present. I guess I should have said the past 9 months.
There's almost no moves to judge Perry on yet. The Melo trade was good because we didn't cave and take Ryan Anderson back but at the end of the day is pretty meaningless (that's of course Phil Jackson's fault for giving him such stupid contract). The Mudiay trade certainly wasn't crippling but it makes me worry about our talent and asset evaluation. The WHG trade was bad, should never trade a player after tanking his value but we did it anyway. The Troy Williams signing was good but not exactly special, though I'm certainly happy that we giving out team options instead of player options. He didn't trade KOQ or Lee for anything. We'll have a better idea of Perry after this Summer when we see what he does with the head coach, our draft pick, and the MLE or cap space if Kanter opts out.
I disagree. Burke came to the Knicks because of Perry. Jack was a Perry move. Troy Williams looks like a future rotation player. I thought the Mudiay move was opportunistic. The guy was only 21 when the Knicks got him. No franchise changing moves but he didn't have that ability. There were no deals for KOQ or Lee out there so I don't think that counts against him.
