Doesn't make sense for the Knicks to make playoffs.

I will take the over on that 7 days out of the week.
I'd take the over on ABCD's number 7 days outta the week, as well, in comparison to that.
We had a solid, successful season last year; parlayed our players' success into trading for Melo, and are now a few games into a shortened season as new players gel and we wait for major reinforcement.
:agreed:
I don't honestly see why people are flipping the panic switch and rioting against this team -- besides the fact that the zeitgeist of "MDA sucks, MDA must go, we will never win with MDA" has been building inexorably, and everyone is anxious to see us finally be and look like a complete team.
Unfortunately, with the worst backcourt in the NBA, and not a single legitimate NBA point guard on our team right now, that is impossible, until we get a point guard and/or the juggernaut portion of our team figures their shit out...and MDA is indeed in charge of that happening, and his success/fail will depend on how it all plays out...over the course of this yr.

I'm with you there!
Don't want MD on board anymore, though.
Baron Davis isn't the answer to this team's performing grief.

I agree but Stat could easily fake another knee injury. Nobody would question it
Then they could just start making sh*t up like Douglas reinjured his shoulder, Fields is playing with a broken toe...Melo's playing through elbow pain.
Dolan should make Antoni instigate a fight with Baron so that once hes healthy they can buy him out. We wouldnt want him back. And after the season fire Antoni

Only team in our division worst then us today is the Nets....what a waste of talent. Too bad we don't have a real leader on this team that says to the other guys "F$%^ Dantoni, lets play this way and win some games...Maybe Baron is that guy. From what i remember, no he isn't either. Maybe put STAT or Melo as the 6th man...lol

The Nets played without Brook, Humphries, AND Deron Williams. ALSO they were up a point in the first half.
The Knicks were that bad.

Doesn't make sense to get in the dance when this team can't dance.
We mad TWO major moves that were hyped up to be the moves that would make the Knicks elite.
This isn't premature. **** your hope. The problems these Knicks are having are the same ****ing problems we had with Crawford Randolph and Curry as our core.
Defense and turnovers. We're built to lose.
Time to destroy and rebuild. When Tyson Chandler, a role player is associated with apart of a "Big 3" you know your ultimate plan failed.

Dude seriously we suck major ass. At least when the Nets lost they lost to the Celtics. We lost to the freaking Bobcats...

What I've been saying for weeks, accept 2-3 bad seasons record wise, trade everybody on a big contract and rebuild through the Draft.

I think if we had a coach that runs plays and has a system other than stand around and pass the ball until someone's open, then our current team has the talent to flourish. Before the season we were contenders, that is until MDA got his hands on our talent and BROKE IT as ALWAYS! We need a new coach NOW!
It shouldn't take long as people are going to stop paying those high ticket prices to see this horribly coached squad.

I agree with the OP of this thread.This team isn't built to compete in the D-League. It's laughable how the Knicks couldn't win a playoff game last season, end up swapping one position player for another in the offseason and because of that one move the majority of Knick fans pick them to be NBA finals favorites. For the past decade we as fans have overhyped almost every move that the Knicks have made.
The truth is that the Knicks have overpaid stars that don't compliment eachother, a coach that should have never been hired to begin with and a back court and bench that are perhaps the worst in the NBA.
Baron Davis isn't going to be the second coming of Magic Johnson.He'll probably help the Knicks win a few more games but the Knicks will continue being what they are which is a sub 500 low seeded team. The sad thing is that there are about 15 teams in the NBA right now that have a better shot of winning an NBA championship than the Knicks do.

Oklahoma are the best example of how to rebuild through the Draft.
Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Jeff Green (who gave them Perkins) and Nick Collison were all drafted by their front office.
It's embarrassing and annoying to see where other teams, that were in the trenches with us 5-6 years ago, are now and we're still having the same damn issues we had 10 years ago.
We could have a starting 5 of:
Nene
Lamarcus Aldridge
Gallo
Ariza
Rondo
now, had we not wasted away our Draft picks.

Maybe not a championship team, but I think you get the point.

Didnt realize the pick was top 5 protected
Yet....with our luck we miss the playoffs and then we get the number 6 pick!
Good thinking, but the plan is too risky, think of Isiah's last pathetic season with us, we finished like 28-64 and that was the 6th worst record and then Chicago moves all the way up to 1 and then we get bumped to 7th
If the pick was top 10, I'd say do it
