He's 22. If you don't have the ability to rebuild around Porzingis, give up, because you're hard pressed to do a better job with lesser players than a super young KP on a rookie deal


build with what? Knicks not gonna be bad enough to get top 5 picks and wont be good enough to be in the higher seeds, nobody wins with just 1 star anymore.

The Knicks just picked up the option on the final two years of his contract in April. I'm wondering if he went public with the Prozingis trade talk to get fired on purpose and get $24 million more to buy weed, organic pound cakes and incense with. He didn't even have to orchestrate one trade or deal with free agency this summer.

:mymanknicks:

Good luck Dolan luring a marquee free agent to NY any time soon like anyone will forget what you did to Oakley this season.

Basketball teams can improve rather quickly.

Not that the Knicks are an easy fix, but even with an aging Carmelo, if you put a decent defender at the wing, they're a .500 team.
I know it doesn't sound like much but I don't think the Knicks are so horrible that trading KP is the only option.

Is there anyone that had been very or even mildly successful in the NBA or college that has not tarnished their careers by going to the Knicks?

At least in the last 20 years

  • Isiah Thomas - well we all know how that ended so badly
  • Stephon Marbury - well... It's not like he was successful before that so he doesn't count
  • Melo - not much prior success but the Knicks is that one job he'd leave off his resumé
  • Joachim Noah - :mjlol:
  • Phil Jackson - comes to the Knicks with the best resume of them all....oops
  • Amar'e Stoudemire (sp) - he started off pretty good but injuries and Melo killed his momentum
  • Billups - I'm sure he'd rather forget that one year when summarizing his career too
  • Mike D'Antoni - Dude was considered a genius in PHX. Went to NY and we heard he couldn't coach a lick. Leaves NY and he's back to racking up COY awards

shyt is hilarious :mjlol:

BTW there shouldn't be anymore doubt that the Knicks are the worst run big market sports organization in all of professional NA sports...

That is saying alot considering they share the same city with the Mets and Jets...

Somehow I am a fan of two of these teams...

fukk my life...:snoop:

I disagree with the Knicks criticism. The Mets and Jets are runned way worse than the Knicks.
