    Please just let us get a Top 3 pick. We're due for SOME kind of luck after the last 16 years of torture.

      I was around for that too (born in 1961). You had the Jets, Mets & Knicks all winning championships in 1969-70. And then there was the first Ali-Frazier fight in March 1971 - it was insane back then. MSG was truly the Mecca of basketball - it hasn't been like that since the Knicks last title in 1973. Yeah, they gave us some thrills during the 90s, but never closed the deal.

      As for the current state of this sad-sack, dysfunctional franchise, I've already accepted the fact that the Knicks will never, EVER be a legit, perennial contender with this idiot owner. Eventually Phil will tire of the MSG circus, you-know-who takes over, and the Knicks go back to being a laughingstock. Bad owners kill franchises.

      Why can't Dolan leave the Knicks alone like he does the Rangers?

        My old man graduated from HS in Nassau County in '70. He's a Jets, Knicks and Mets fan. What stretch for him, he said it was surreal. He probably thought he'd see plenty more success and titles from those teams during his life. Not so much!

        When I was a kid he always talked about those 70s Knicks teams, moreso than the Jets or Mets championship teams.

            Unreal. Just unreal.

            My immediate thought: trade down.

                I can't be excited about Mudiay because he's such an unknown. I hate risking a high pick on a guy like that, it's such a crapshoot. I feel like he'll be nothing more than an average point guard but we have all of a dozen games in friggin China to judge him on.

                The problem is every other team in the NBA knows that after #3 the talent level drops. There won't be nearly as high a demand for the 4th pick. It'll be interesting to see how Phil & Co handle this. We only had a 39% chance of landing one of the two bigs so it was far more likely than not that we didn't get one them. I'm guessing Plan B is to trade the pick but I really don't think we'll be able to get something valuable enough in return to make a trade.

                  Isn't the knock on Mudiay his shooting? Doesn't seem like a great fit for the triangle.

                  Trading down will be tough,

                    Knicks screwed themselves winning those back-to-back games near season's end.....those clowns couldn't even tank right.



                    I'm defeated and pissed off right now........

                      I knew this would happen when these bum *** losers started winning games right at the end, just to screw over any chances of landing a legit player. WTF.

                          But Isaiah is part of the Dolan team again. Everyone should be happy

                            Glad I missed the fireworks.

                            Shout out to Tim Hardaway Jr and Langston Galloway who thought they had something to prove at the end of the season and the staff for not even pulling the plug much earlier.

                            I expect Phil to walk away sometime next season.

                            As long as Dolan is at the helm, we'll never have any success.

                              Consensus on who we should take if we keep #4?

                              I mean, you have to take Mudiay.

                              I'm not a huge fan but believe he has upside.

                              It's just the Triangle and our stubbornness.

                              I can easily see them trading down simply to draft a player who "fits" the system.

                                Mudiay or whoever's left of the top 4 prospects.

                                We really can't afford to keep blowing these draft opportunities. I don't know how many times we'll have a top 5 pick because we love to trade them or compete just enough to be the best worst team in the league.

                                I will say that with the triangle, it should theoretically work no matter the personnel. It's just happenstance that Phil had the two greatest SGs in NBA history running it, but he was able to go from guys like Luc Longley and Bill Wennington to Shaq. It provides enough opportunities and options for anyone to be successful in it with the proper adjustments.

                                Unfortunately, our coach is Derek Fisher and I have no confidence in him evolving the triangle.
