We weren’t tanking I’m a Knicks fan I would know
yal refused to use cap to sign decent players

a tryout for g-league talent and greenlights for all young players is tanking breh. just because the guys play hard doesn't mean the org is trying to win

the only two teams not tanking were charlotte and minnesota. maybe even throw in sacramento and washington

We brought in Mario Hezonja and Noah Vonleh former high lottery picks with potential and had a stacked rookie class. We are conserving cap space and developing youth.

That’s not tanking. This team was not coached to tank in fact counterproductive tank moves were made that had some of us shook in the season thread.

mario hezonja and noah are washouts :dead: i can't believe you typed that shyt up unironically

knicks held open tryouts with hasbeens, busts, g-leagurs, and expiring contracts instead of putting an actual basketball product on the floor. this is either blatantly disingenuous or downright pitiful if you believe what you're trying to explain right now

What the fukk are you talking about? What open try outs?

Being a young rebuilding team is not tanking nikka. We didn’t walk into this season tanking Porzingis was supposed to return. THJ started the season looking like a break out before injuries. Trey Burke was supposed to continue his play from last season. Ntlikina was supposed to improve in year 2. Courtney Lee’s neck injury lingered. We had a stacked rookie class to give reps to. We targeted free agents.

This is not the Pelicans sitting AD out in a disappointing lost season

Every young rebuilding team must be tanking then :dead:

THJ? Courtney Lee? Ntilikina? Stacked rookie class?

Ok, you're just delusional. Don't mind me

This isn’t about the Knicks or Lakers

I’m a Knicks fan I knew the possibility of not getting Zion was real. I expected us to get the 5th pick actually. I’m an NBA fan as an NBA fan, Zion landed on one of the worst franchises possible for the future of the league.

People think this stopped tanking because the very worst teams didn’t get him when in fact a disappointing ass, tanking squad got him.

I wouldn’t have gave a fukk if the Cavs, Suns, Bulls, Hawks would have got him.
All of this nonstop whining is absolutely about the Knicks and Lakers.

Ntlikina was a lottery pick coming into year 2 improvement is expected but nah we should have gave the bag to some veteran PG to try and win 3 extra games

Lee always been a solid 10/3/3 guy on playoff teams

THJ has always had potential as a scorer and we have big money tied into him but nah fukk it give another bag to another SG

Kevin Knox, Allonzo Trier, Mitchell Robinson by the numbers is clearly one of the best rookie classes on any team in the NBA this season

Foh

One of the most unique talents the league has seen was drafted by an incompetent franchise with absolutely no history yet nikkas are so dense they don’t see how this affects the future of the NBA especially in what will soon become a post-LeBron league.

A team that sat out Anthony Davis 4th quarters and back to backs effectively tanking won the lottery with 6% odds yet nikkas don’t see the problem.
