The team has very little talent. They need to get top draft picks to build their talent level.
Not sure why this is so complicated for you.
burke pick 9
knox pick 9
mudiay pick 7
mario pick 5
frank pick 8
noah pick 9
Kp pick 4
go look at any roster in the NBA and see if they have that many high picks on their roster..
The draft dont mean sht if you pick suspect players
OK genius, how many of those players did the Knicks actually draft.
It's VERY COMMON for badly run and cap locked teams, in any sport, to have former high draft picks that were busts trying to reboot their career or find a place as a role player on a team.
The Knicks can, in theory, trade for players who might help ( like how the Rockets traded for Harden) but to do that, you need DRAFT PICKS and young assets acquired through the draft to trade in the first place. But trades like these are exceptions to the marketplace and are not a regular feature of the system. The Rockets suffered for years, unable to find a franchise player because they were under orders to not tank.
The draft is a ****ing crapshoot. But what other choice is there? You've been asked this for years with zero answer.
You also seem to ignore the issue that in any team building situation, sometimes you will miss on picks. The Warriors drafted Patrick O'Bryant after they drafted Steph Curry. It happens.
Misses are not proof that building through the draft does not work, misses are proof that building through the draft is a low percentage risk/reward situation where there are NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES.
At this point, you are just **** posting.
