Yeah...
We’ve been living in the future while trying to make the present look nice and completely forgetting this is about the game of basketball.
Everything is honestly wrong, and whoever isn’t wrong at the moment will either turn into that or find a way out of this mess.
Isn’t doing the same and expecting different results madness? Well, we keep arguing about the same stuff year after year. We really expect anything good?
This is more than Fiz, Mills, Perry and any of the players. It does starts with Dolan, but it covers everyone. This hasn’t been solved in decades. Another fired coach alone won’t do the trick. The disease is everywhere. Sorry for the cloudy forecast, but this isn’t close to be fixed at all.
Please explain how Dolan is responsible for this fiasco? All he did was sign the checks.
The Dolan bashing is just over the top.
I am with you guys to be honest.Besides being a life long die hard Knicks fan I am a life long die hard Rangers fan as well, Dolan owns them as well yet they have a good President and outstanding GM.They announced a rebuild traded pretty much all the pieces to teams that went to 3 ECF had the best record in the league one of those years and went to a Stanley Cup final.They missed the POs last year and still signed the premier bona fide star FA in the league , have the youngest team in the league and are fighting for a PO spot this year and they have the best farm system in the league.
I don't watch Hockey and wont pretend to know about it, but I do know that the Rangers have had 2 GM's in 20 years. When is the last time the Knicks showed that type of stability? This whole idea of firing the coach and front office after 2-3 yrs on the job just feeds into the typical Knick losing cycle.
Stability in coaching and FO is a romantic ideal
Raptors dumped a coach of the year and won the next season w a rookie head coach
Gs dumped mark Jackson (50+ wins) and never looked back
There are many more examples
If you have the chance to improve you do it. Whether that’s better development or wins you do it
Fizz has proven to be a truly lousy coach both here and Memphis. All hot air
FO is a bunch of morons too
Fizdale has worn out his welcome mostly due to his own bad faith of wholly wasting last year's forgivable losing record.
This year's whole "let's straighten out DSJ and Randall" BS ignores the rest of the team and again invests in assets that are losing value.
I'm not as down on the FO. They didn't have much to work with to begin with - more than Phil but less than a handful of worthwhile assets.
Compound that paucity of talent with a nod and wink tanking season and then being misled as to their chances of landing Durant, the Plan 'B' Hail Mary signings were/are forgivable.
BUT, BUT, BUT... now that its a failed experiment its time to recalibrate. Cut bait on the obvious failures and continue to build through the draft.
As they say, When you are going through hell, keep going.
The FO had over $70 Million? And they gave a lot of that to the guy you are complaining about.
What assets have they invested in DSJR? Don't think we traded KP in order to steal DS from the Mavs.
Agree that its time to change course. Perhaps it should have stayed the course of 2018/2019. Short term cheap deals on guys that were young, former high draft picks and that may have needed a change of scenery. With the plan to give draft picks and young players most of the run. Along with having some cheap vets to teach them the ropes. Thought it was telling when it took an injury to give Frank minutes. We need to play the young assets we have and although you disagree, that includes DSJR. Would like to see Trier, Dotson, Mitch(when he can stay on the floor), RJ, Smith, Frank, Iggy get most of the run. Hopefully we can get some more picks by trading Portis, Morris and Taj. Randle is not the type of player to help a rebuild and should be dealt. Imo. The whole idea that you need to win to help develop guys may be true. But its obvious that the FA's we have are not helping that at all. So if we are losing, why not play the kids.
