It sure is. We waited almost 2 decades to draft what appeared to be even an above average NBA player (the last first round pick to sign a second contract with team was Charlie Ward! Bc Hardaway doesn?t count, we traded him away first).
We?ve been stuck in mud for 20 years, with basically 1 decent season and what do we do? We trade KP away on a wing and a prayer we could sign KD?!?
I think Mills actually thought Kd and Kyrie were coming just bc we are MSG and have an all-Black brain trust.
We shouldn?t have stretched Noah. That was mistake number 1.... and no way we trade KP.... make him walk.... Did NO regret letting AD walk for nothing?
They only way trade made sense is if Knicks walked away with 2 stud free agents. Otherwise, dealing KP would set you back another 5 years....
Hey, I get that picks matter. Last pick in Melo trade is a good PG (Murray).
Cuban makes same trade he did in Feb in July. We should?ve played out free agency and if we needed cap space, then deal KP. Call the bluff.... you think KP walks away from RJ? I doubt it. We probably would?ve been a playoff team with that duo alone.
But, personally, as a fan... trading KP and getting nothing in return was pretty much the last straw. I?ll stick around to watch RJ, but I?m almost over this team while Dolan and Mills are running things.
Even if RJ hits, Mills will sabotage his run here too.
It really is sad.
