Yeah, don't hold your breath on Porzingis being anything other than a part-time superstar at best. And us getting a franchise player through the draft is slim; if that were to happen, I think it'd take YEARS

It has been years now trying to rebuild through free agency. With little success. So...
Nothing to lose really.

guys like Big Pat, Admiral, Wilt etc are the rare exceptions.

So fingers crossed then.

Not gonna speak for mafra, but imo that would come down to good coaching, to sell Carmelo into that type of plan

Nah. He's too old a dog.

Sasha is solid. Give him time. You have top play Calderon and hope he will sort things out. They need to trade him. KP needs to get his feet wet. This season is -- no matter what they say -- about winning. This is not about Melo using "his window". He is there to put butts into seats and KP and Grant are there to become something they cannot be as of yet. There will be no success for the Knicks as long as Dolan cannot refrain from being 'hands-on'.

Dont let anyone fool u about Dolan .. Dolan will always b "Hands-On" when it comes to the Knicks.
Assistant coach Herb Williams maybe gone, but the $124M contract is 99.9% Dolan's baby.

KP n Grant will need all the playing time minutes Fisher could give them to gain experience in their rookie season.

I never been a fan of Calderon or Afflalo career talent or their chemistry with teammates in the NBA.
Calderon performance is 0-2 to start the season, if Calderon performance dont improve and he go 2-8 in our first 10 games of the season, i expect Phil & Fisher to DNP Calderon to sit in the doghouse until traded.

The Knicks has a potential 3-guard lineup in "Grant, Galloway, and Sasha" that could bring wins this season.
In Milwaukie the above 3-guard lineup with D.Will & O'Quinn took the lead from the Bucks late in first quarter to build a Knicks 12 point lead midway through 2nd quarter. Fisher did not put the 3 guard lineup of Grant, Galloway, and Sasha on the court together vs Atlanta Hawks. Without that 3 guard lineup on the court the Knicks didnt have a chance against the Hawks.
