The team needs to have a respectable culture this year. Whoever's on the team next season will be more prepared. The D'Antoni and Woodson era were bad cultures. Crappy systems, lack of good strategy, lack of discipline, favoritism happened so long. Giving it their all and playing team ball is what I want.
I don't completely agree.. the culture with dantoni here along with walsh was developing, we had amare and a bunch of developing young guys who loved playing in NY for all the right reasons..
that culture changed once we brought in carmeloser..
I find it funny how fans had no patience when it came to rebuilding the right way with those young guys,yet after one stint with carmelo, and now going on another max contract with a player entering the wrong side of 30, we are talking patience? who does that? who rebuilds with a 30 year old, player who has proven he can't win , doesn't lead and you give him a max deal?
I looked at the bulls last night and for the life of me, wonder if phil ever made an offer to the bulls. I would have offered carmelo at max( because we know that greedy fool only wanted his money) for Mdcermot and Butler..
how much better and balanced would the knicks have been? with our own pick this year..
Look around the league, look at our conference, it is getting younger and better, and we are talking about establishing a culture( again) around the same 30 year old loser... with his loser friends like JR smith..
the knicks looked lost last night and were completely outclassed!!!
And let me add, for the record, the guys we traded in that dreadful carmelo deal, are all important pieces of a denver team, that is young and deep... BTW. mozgov( the throw in piece to the deal) played drummond to a standstill.. 13/11 and Drummond is a heck of young talented big man!!
