Yep! FACT checked:
We NEVER have talent. Not since glory days Walt Clyde, Reed , Monroe & Debusschere, Barnett. Got close with Ewing (once or 2x).
Talentless tenants in Garden from rosters to MSG Management, Coaches, Scouts, Play-development coaches & yes development NBA league.
Sadly Knickerbockers never ever recovered:
This goes way back to the Melo 2014 yr trade and years before Melo became a Knick.
ALL Drafts plus mismanagment, we're talking same stuff 6-7 yrs back then in present 2020.
No talent,stars on Knicks, nor skiiled upside,
Not on NBA roster and neither in this "D - League" rosters.
Its good they have 2020 JUNE draft picks. We forever talking about getting better! (IF were still alive)
Skilled or stars ? "Something special" players Or some Identity of players known to possess those standout talents
Hopefully the June 2020 summer once again shines some much needed hope. You better go to Church & PRAY!
(I'm sure god has other things on his agenda vs. our knickerbockers)
SADLY All in all this TEAM has lacked talent up & down,
YOURE' a bad team which gets DRAFT Picks (K.P, Knox etc.. Hardaway Jr) and still stink. But we're still have to be fans.
Here's what I'm griping about new management OR not (again! in 2020)

& perhaps Iman Shumpert (Cavs)
This is very very painful times to be Knickerbocker hopeful.
