Trading Ewing.
The Jordan Hill draft, where we just missed out on Curry and then passed on Lawson.
Right now, knowing we dealt away a lottery pick, that could turn out to be a stud this year. That pick, along with a lottery next year, could have been a key to our team for a decade. If Jabari Parker or some stud, goes to DEN b/c of us... And Melo walks... Yikes.
all very true, but especially this makes me very sad, indeed

Do you remember how hard I was pushing for Ty Lawson back in that draft?
Add Walsh picking up Billups option and then Grunwald using our only amnesty on Billups to sign Tyson Chandler. From this complete bungle we lost out on having Chris Paul and Chandler alongside Melo. Our organization and ownership has made many mistakes since the mid 70's. This is why we have ZERO championships in 40 years.
I do not think anything can top this. That had to be the dumbest move ever.
Forbes ranked the Knicks the richest and most valuable franchise in the NBA. You would think that they could win a championship with all the money they make esp after 50 years.
Dolan is a bonehead but the fans are also for buying the crap product the Knicks have been putting out there with pathetic teams over the years.
If the fans stopped going to the Garden and the Knicks and MSG started losing money maybe Dolan would get fired and the Knicks could get somewhere.
The New York Knicks aggressively court the presence of their celebrity fans by reserving six prime courtside seats for three V.I.P.'s and their guests called Celebrity Row, along with other excellent seats.
?If you?re an A-level person and we know the fans are going to go bananas when your picture goes up on the scoreboard, then there?s a value having you there,? said Barry Watkins, the Madison Square Garden company?s executive vice president for communications and administration. ?We think it?s a big part of the brand. Win or lose, it?s one of the reasons people come to the games.?
The Garden has an ad-hoc celebrity-handling team that determines who counts as a celebrity and how to pursue relationships with those people or their representatives.
The quid pro quo is to be agreed to be filmed at your seat for broadcast on GardenVision, while some agree to work for the Knicks' Garden of Dreams foundation, which helps disadvantaged and ill young people.
