Actually for me it is first enjoyable year in decades.
I like what I see and future looks good.

That's how I feel... I'm having the most fun I've had as a knick fan in many years

I know we are what our record says we are.

But early in the season, this team was close every night. And yesterday - one horrendous quarter sank us.

Put a healthy KP on this squad at the start of the year, and they are competing for a play off spot.

I am hoping that if they can keep most of these guys together next year, a healthy KP, a top 4 draft pick and perhaps a major FA signing, we'll be right there contending for the next 5 years.

Am I disappointed by how we've lost games?

Am I worried that Kanter is part of what made this team gutsy, flaws and all?

Am I worried we strike out on a FA?

Am I worried that KP won't ever be healthy for a full season, and will wear down after a solid all star 2 month stretch?

Yes.

But likewise, until hindsight says otherwise, I like the potential and future of our team right now.

I am optimistic not because of players we have because we do not have much.
Not because of KP as we do not know how he will do.
I like the team building flexibility, collecting assets, and removing the junk.
This is the path to sustainable success regardless of how lucky or unlucky we will be.
We saw the organization run relying on pure luck and how miserably it failed.
Time to get serious about the business.
It can be boring and frustrating for a while but there is no other way.

This is so true. And the main reason it fails in NYC involves patience among the fan base. 1248 and his ilk drive the mistakes of the past. Patience is key to long-term success.

You have to give a few of these guys the offseason to get stronger and actually get real work in on their games.

Robinson, has a very strong plus minus, he hustles, has a good motor and is already an elite shot blocker with tremendous athleticism. He just needs a big man to come in and work with him on positioning. He adds 10-15 pounds in the offseason it's a big leap in year two.

Knox has shown he can score at an elite clip, which is impressive at 19. Remember Giannis really struggled early on and didn't look like the next superstar. In no way is that a comparison, but as he gets a little stronger, they bring in someone to teach him footwork, how to create space and use your own body he's an elite prospect.

Trier has shown he has elite athleticism for his size and is a natural scorer. He's undrafted and is top 10 in pts and assists which is a tremendous accomplishment, not to mentioned he's top 5 in FTA, which is invaluable going forward.

Dotson is a good defender and a high percentage 3 point shooter on a good contract, for a second round pick he's a nice piece.

The only one that hasn't really shown promise to date is Frank, but he's still one of the younger players in the league so he needs a little more time.

All in all with a healthy KP, everyone is obviously much better, there is less attention on them and the depth increases considerably. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as everyone thinks. We have been dog **** for close to 18 years, but this is the first rebuild in a very long time. Philly was drowning winning no games missing on guys like Noel, MCW, Okafur, etc. We have been efficient drafting the past few years and will turn the corner with another high lottery pick and become a free agent destination again.

I am encouraged.

Losing is a disease. It seems its too late for both of you.

Gotta say that there are some on here that prefer dreaming about some FA that wont come here or some fantasy draft pick than actually having a competitive team that can be improved on year over year. Not saying you guys are but this does exist on here. True its been nice seeing that Knox can actually turn into a decent pick for us and watching some of our tryout players show some skills. But lets not get carried away. It still sucks being the joke of the NBA and no matter what it is not fun watching the Knicks get their asses kicked every game. Think we can turn it around but the biggest negative for me is that after four years of rebuilding, we only have 2 or 3 guys looking like part of the future.

4 years? Really? Phil was not rebuilding, he was retooling with already broken tools...
In my books its just one calendar year since we started..

Hofstra good morning greetings

You kidding correct?
I have lots of family in Toronto But I'm certainly NO raptor fan but I'm Khawi Fan.
If you trickled down my friend to end if post SEE -->Patience is same things I've cited.

However you line regarding THJr., maybe he's family to you In regard to whom goes LA or stays.
Tim jr has had his moments but We dont need him! Nor his $$contract and low durability floor $$$.

Few knicks mentioned i cited are youth knicke rookies & KP. Our knicks have drafts picks, great!
They can use a bit of youth Vets in league but i ain't giving up the good Knicks. Also please dont go on like rest of NYK Roster is all futures of when NYK begin to rise to top Again,

Specifically THJ .. Trey Burke, Lance Thomas types are future of the then improved NYK When! these timeframes happen.

DJ & WALT CLYDE (at past IBM event 'teamwork' function)
