The last time we had a the exact same situation like this, we won 17 games, and we had the same amount of cap space going into the off season, with several big name FA, bypassing the knicks.
Like you guys just seen this whole movie playout just 3 yrs ago and you act has if this FO is doing something different, with the GM then, now the president..
In the 19 months this FO has been running the show, we have literally gotten worse..
The year you are talking about the Knicks traded Tyson and Felton for Dalembert (waived), Larkin, the picks that became Early and Thanasis. The prize in that package was an overpaid on the decline Calderon. Then Shump and Jr were traded for Lance and Lou and those guys were both initially waived. Do you see this front office operating like that? Did they trade a second round pick so that they could keep the Kobe stopper? You think that that is the exact same situation as what is happening now? The first part of being successful is having a guy that actually has worked in a front office and has relationships with other execs, coaches and players. The Knicks didn't have that guy, they had a great coach in a different role. They have that guy now. The next step is to have a vision of how you want to build your team that is shared by management and the coaching staff. The Knicks didn't have that. Fisher wanted to run his practices like they did in OKC utilizing his assistants to do skill and drill in small groups and was not committed to the offense the pres wanted. That management team also did not do a coaching search. They offered the job to one guy and then another when the job was turned down. This management team did an exhaustive coaching and hired the guy seen as the best communicator and best developmental guy available. That group played the high character undrafted vets a lot. This group plays the young players over the vets and is focused on development. This group will be adding a third consecutive lottery pick and has a lot of players on cost controlled contracts. Aside from the records, nothing is the same.
Mills has been an utter disaster in every FO position he has ever had (the dude is from princeton, a finance and marketing guy)and wouldn't know a good trade if someone smack the sht out of him (if you can prove otherwise please explain) In the 6 yrs he's been associated with this franchise, we have been god awful, he has done nothing at all to put his stamp on this franchise....THE WORST PAET, and I mean the absolute worsT PART, IS THAT THE GUY WHO HIRED HIM "HIS GOOD BUDDY" STATED HE DOESN'T KNOW SHT about running an NBA team, or how to hire the right guy to run it..I mean he said this out of his own mouth..
The only thing mills cares about is Having the TITLE of KNICKS PRESIDENT.. HE WILL NOT BE HERE by the end of 2019..the losing gets everyone fired, it never ever fails..I don't care if Dolan is his buddy, someone will get in his ear.
You can count on one hand the amount of coaches,GMS and presidents that have survive a rebuild, in all sports combine..
you have one down yr, and then you need progress every game, every week, every month, every season..ARE WE SEEING THAT HERE?
