how do we attract FA when the young guys look light years away from being good, which means we will spend all of our CAP money on second tier players like PHIL did.

We can't sign another slew of 1 yr players

Phil is gone. Lots of things spin in your head.

why don't you tell me whats change from phil other than the triangle?

this is called rebuilding my friend. We know you hate it but it’s reality. Free agents like have seemed to be impressed with the kids. Plus we are missing our best player who is also attractive to free agents. Look I understand you want to win right now but that’s not reality when dealing with the youngest team in the league who is missing their best player. The knicks are finally doing the right thing as far as building a team. I think starting next year no matter who we get we are looking at a long term winning team

Do you realize you have said that every year for the last 5 yrs..You have damn near said it in almost every thread at least once, for the last 5 yrs.

Hopefully this process gets us to Mt. Zion quicker than it took Philly to get to Embiid/Simmons.
As long as we don't sign another Bargs, I'm good with seeing what else we can grab from the draft for the next few seasons...
NOW where's BRIGGS when you need him?

And I don't see this FO spending ALL our CAP money on Boogie Cousins/Deandre Jordan types...

Don't think we have to worry about any top tier players, because if they wanted to be here, they would be already...

Overall, like any losing team, they just need more raw talent.

Until then, they really need to be carpet bombing other teams with three point shot attempts. They don't have anyone who can effectively penetrate, drive and kick. They don't really have any consistent long range bombers either. But it appears right now it's the best pathway to keep the ball moving.

I'll agree with knicks1248 at least once in my lifetime - Frank N does need to take it to the rim more. Even if it doesn't execute, he's got to at least mix it up and try to get to the rim. I'd be happy to see the kid fight someone. Even with a suspension, at least it would show some fire in his belly. Sometimes you need to get punched in the face to understand the only things you get in this life are things you go out and take and seize for yourself.

Like I've always said, not keeping Lin/Pringles was going cost this team long term for years.

This pretty much sums it up...
