Add obi or Dani and they both look good first day.
A healthy wall or Westbrook would have been our best player. They had Beal, even better than both.
Briggs, Why are you suprised?

It’s depressing to c how far behind this team is.

We’ve had free agency for two years

Players do not want to be in the Knicks especially top tier players free agency is out of the question it’s only for lower tier FA players. Trade is another story.

This current team will have to make their own star player which means hoping RJ and Obi can be those guys.

The biggest problem with the Knicks is continuity to much change from year to year. They don’t build on talent. All you have to do is just look at how they are shoving DSJ down everyone’s throat when last year Frank was building something and coming into his own. Now it’s back to the drawing board for Frank and DAJ gets thrusted to the top because he has earned it.
The starting lineup for the Knicks is suppose to be

Knox
Obi
Robinson
RJ
Frank

Those are our home grown guys. You are not getting top flight free agents just rule that out.

The problem with Knox abs frank is they sick every other game — it’s hard to win like that. Barrett a good piece although he can’t shoot. I’m nite if M Robinson is anything other than a 20 minute player.
The line up u put out has no shooting

The line up should be that, but we would go 3-69.

Take Obi out of the line up, and those other guys have a 29% win rate, Players like this get coaches fired.

After 9 months off, and 100's of hours of looking at film

I can't believe Knox is still playing out of control

I can't believe Mitch is still making rookie childish fouls

I cant believe frank still can't shoot (3-8 in a combine 40 mins ) one layup

I can't believe DSJ is out of shape confused, and still can't shoot.

Our biggest weakness is shooting and you bring back the same 3 guards (dsj frank peyton) who have proven in 100's of games that they can't shoot..

It is frustrating how little talent (or even viable nba starters) we have on this roster, and how little shooting we have. And how we don't have a viable PG. At this point, it is what it is, and I'll watch games hoping to see some sort of development from one or two of the young guys, but I know our only hope is the lottery.

How many times your going to switch the coach and keep the same players, at some point you have to realize it ain't the coach that needs changing.

Rainman says if we have better players, we’d be a better team.
Clairvoyance personified!
The only thing worse than watching knicks turn the ball over is reading your lazy answers.

BRIGGS wrote:The offensive fire power took a step back. We simply don’t have the guns. I’m looking at Washington

They have Bradley Beal and Westbrook at the guards position. Not to mention the stacked roster

We have two role players who no one else wanted.

I guess if the off season was a quest to be the worst nba team with no assertive plan — we have accomplished the goal.

I still think e should’ve gone after Woods and Nesmith— and possibly countered with Avidja when he fell. Toppin will be ok but this overall team is sht

Consistent time will bring consistent results. Problem is these guys don’t get to work together develop comraderie. With management change comes agenda change. Simple as that. When were Knox and Frank ever given the consistent time to thrive and to develop. One bad game and it’s to the bench. I have seen other teams they consistently give their top players the necessary time to develop. Knicks have this backward system where they favor anyone that walks through the door.

That’s how I see it to. I would love for this group to know we were rolling with them, starters with consistent minutes. I’m sure chemistry and an identity would develop. They all play hard. Maybe their ceiling wouldn’t end up being that high but you don’t get their best IMO with revolving lineups.
