A team with D. Rose, Melo, Noah, and Porzingis aint no lottery team. Ball movement is progressing now. We have a few young guys already to develop. Let's give them some playoff experience, or should i say, championship experience. We got a pick regardless. Let's go Knicks
 
I appreciate the sentiment and 2 seasons ago, I was in camp **** the tank as well. I just don't think this team can get it together. I was all-in on this roster the end of December and then they played the 2nd worst basketball in the NBA for 2 months. We haven't won 2 games in a row in 2 months.

We're not tanking, we're simply not a good basketball team and we'll more than likely play out the remaining games at a .400 clip. It's all academic at this point as to what lottery slot we'll have come June

Having Melo and Rose on the court playing defense when you have a one point lead with 10 seconds to go should be the legal definition of tanking

Did someone mention TANKING again?
The way we been performing as players, as coaches, as a president, and owner ..
Yeah We TANKING!

We have a decent roster of bench-players .. Quinn / Willie / Plumlee / Kuz / L.Thomas / Holiday / Sasha / Jennings .... the 8 players mention has 6 decent players to make a strong defensive 2nd-Unit lineup to give us the bench depth we needed to stay at the .500 range through our rough back to back schedule to give us some up n down games to keep us balance on having a 41-41 season .500 Team.
Here's the 2nd-Unit lineup we never seen on the court .. Jennings/Sasha/Lance/Willie/Quinn/6th man Holiday ..
So far what we seen from the Knicks performance in 2016-17 were to much Melo / Rose / KP / Lee repping a no-Defense-Effort plus a one on one offense for over 30 minute a night all season long .. no team-ball passes/forcing shots with plenty time on the clock .. no team-ball comunication running back on defense .. no team awareness on preventing switches on defense ..
How could we become the WORST defensive team in the league for 2 and a half months .. when we have the HOF ZEN-MASTER Coach of the NBA as our Knicks president ?? Having Phil Jackson as president of operation we should have the 5th best Coaching-Staff in the NBA after 3 offseasons at $36M rate.
Where's the head-coach? or assistant-coach? Why would famous coach Phil Jackson Tweet on Melo's lazy performance?
Yeah! We TANKING!
