I will not regret it all, Doug. This team couldn’t figure out TJ McConnell in a game 7, and he’s like 45 levels away from the final boss.

Okay

I still believe we need another shot creator and that’s the most pressing need for the team

With the money they will have to pay OG you would hope he could up his shot creation.

Haliburton is a corny frontrunner but he’s very good, the Pacers might be able to give the Celtics some problems without Kristaps. At least one of those teams is going to lose.

Our best players, in order, are:

Brunson
Randle
Anunoby
Hartenstein
Divincenzo
Robinson

Take three of any team’s six best players away, and they’re gonna have a tough time winning. Add in injuries that cripple the seventh best player (Hart) and eliminate the eighth best (Bojan) and it gets that much harder.

You can make the argument that the coach’s proclivities were a major cause for this, and you can also argue that some of these guys are injury prone to begin with. Both of those things are probably true to some extent. But it’s also true that we had some bad luck at a bad time.

I still believe we need another shot creator and that’s the most pressing need for the team. This offseason is the time for the consolidation trade. I don’t think we’re quite good enough to run it back and just draft a couple of guys late in the first to fill holes. We need another significant piece and that piece should be a shot creator who can allow us to give opponents different looks. Randle would have helped a lot in that regard but I’d like another scoring guard/wing who has some speed and shooting.

My entire interest in the NBA is now rooting for the Celtics not to win a championship with every fiber of my being.

Bitter end to a very fun season. I will look back on this team fondly, it’s one of the more enjoyable Knicks teams of my lifetime and most of the time it was a pleasure rooting for them. It would have been great to shut up Haliburton but we would have gotten absolutely rinsed by the Celtics anyhow, so perhaps this is for the best. Get everyone healthy, make a couple moves and try again next year, we’ve still got Jalen Brunson.
