What’s so particularly off about this is that the worst part of the last four years was that Phil was so impatient. He didn’t have the patience for a true rebuild and the team suffered for it.

Ignore the fact that he was missing 2 first round picks, had a lot of damaged goods he had to incentivize people to take (like Felton and JR Smith), no free agents of any value wanted to play in NY because we sucked, and the return on Melo would have included Boozer and a rabid press, and what you say makes perfect sense.

Proper rebuilds work. The Knicks have never done one. What’s actually stupid is putting yourself into a position where “just one all star” solves your roster when theres 12 guys who fit the bill and pretty much all of them are untouchable or are either more expensive than the Knicks have assets to get or are unwilling to come to New York with our current situation.

Tear this thing down, we’ve handled 20 years of bullshit, what’s 5 years more?

Thank God we have people in NY that have the stomach to sit through a 6-8 year rebuild process tanking and drafting 19 year olds without getting frustrated with the losing long before we are anywhere close.

KP is still 3-4 years away.
Frank is 4-5 years away.

Those were the only 1st round picks we had in the last 4 years. This year we’ll add another.

His form is fine, the shots will start falling.

Frank looks like the perfect triangle guard now, but we won’t know what he can become for another 4-5 years.

Well, some of us won’t…

it would be some sort of sick joke to all of a sudden move him to a position we currently already have 5 players for….

if hornacek or whoever decides to make that move full time… they should be fired on the spot…. there is no good argument for playing frank at the 2 now….
