Raptors need to drop into the Wembanyama sweepstakes. I know they're 10th right now and in the play in, but that team isn't winning anything. Plus they aren't playing near as well as a group as they have in the past. They've got some good vets that can fetch decent picks and returns (Trent Jr, FVV, Otto Porter, even Siakam if you want to take a big swing). Keep Barnes obviously and maybe OG to go with Wem or Scoot and you've got a very nice new young core. They're also a team that depending on what vets they send out and keep, could also nab Wem and be right back into contention with a quick rebuild. It's not Chicago or Washington, who should just blow everything up and start completely over and in a few years they'll be good.

People were putting them in that 2nd East tier after last year, I wasn’t buying it. The have little depth and not much size. One trick pony but like you said, the chemistry isn’t there-that is the main dilemma

Fukin Dolan

Oh really? Kinda funny coming from you as for a while your kept saying Thibbs was the real problem.

And remember you said multiple times because the Rangers have had recent success and Dolan owns them he can't be the reason the Knicks have struggled most of this century. Seriously WTF was that silly homerism? Still laugh about you saying that nonsense.

Facetious, look up definition.

I was being facetious.

Yeah sure you were. As long as you believe that isn't that all that matters?

Gonna give you a suggestion that I'm sure you'll ignore. Try being a rational fan for once, it might work for you. Everything starts at the top. If the owner ain't right his organization won't be right either.

There are plenty of rational Knicks fans. @Tai Chi≈Surfing is a perfect example. One thing for sure, you aren't a rational Knicks fan.
I think I made it abundantly clear how I feel about how the game should be played.

It’s very frustrating when you were taught the way I was at a low level and to see the way it’s poorly executed at the highest.

When you are a team that clearly cannot compete with a contender, and you try to play like one , it aggravates the hell out of me.

Yeah and what was your suggestion again on how you think the game should be played? Hopefully you answer this legit question because I don't recall what your solution was for the Knicks woes. I'd like to know.

"it aggravates the hell out of me"

Now that I can understand. Gonna try this one more time.

The players change, the coaches change, the GM's change, but the owner doesn't.

So if everything keeps changing except one thing don't you think that one thing that's stayed the same is the issue?

Told you this before but you don't wanna hear it. It seems to me that no all star caliber players wanna play for the Knicks because of one thing. I really think the Knicks will be jinxed as long as Dolan running things.

The West is deeper.

The 9th and 10th seeds as of right now are .500.

In the EC they are .484 and .434.
Dude...the top teams in the East are significantly better than the West and that's not even debatable. Who cares that the 10th seeds have slightly different records? By the way the 9th seeds are 15-15 vs 15-16. This is a dumb argument.

Fire Thibs! Especially after a 7 game win streak!
