Miller and brooks are both better than beno. I didnt think brooks was available. Mills should have been able to send beno to the spurs.

Does this mean I am not tuned in to the NBA trade deadline?

I actually want Denver to end up with the first pick- maybe then Dolan will learn.

Yup. That and Melo to leave without compensation.

Like he did from the Eddy Curry trade

they did the right things, no sense making a move just to say you made one.

Yes! I realized that as soon as I posted the comment - this owner has not learned.

I'll go with Bocker - that Melo also leaves without compensation.

Maybe then- maybe we end up with a top talent in 2015 through the draft and we spend money wisely on free agents that year as well.

Since when did hoping something bad happens (Denver loto pick & Melo leaving for nothing) to something you love(Knicks Team)become something a real Knick fan would say or be okay with? I just don't get you type of fans. I stopped posting for awhile and I think I have to stop again because fans are horrible now! I get that people don't like Dolan but hurting the Team is a unthinkable to me.

I agree. It doesn't make any sense. Sometimes it doesn't seem like a Knicks forum.

Every day Dolan owns this team, something bad happens to the franchise.

I'm hoping he hits rock bottom, sobers up, and becomes a 'smart', 'responsible' owner.

And what exactly is hurting the team? Denver getting our pick and it being a lottery? Pick has already been traded. Does the humiliation of having traded a first round pick (swapped) in the Melo deal hurt the knicks? its already happened. Its done.

I want this owner to wake up, 'sober' up, look in the mirror and realize that while he has been saying you 'Can't rebuild in NYC', that he has put out a worse product than if he had tanked and rebuilt exclusively through the draft.

This isn't open to debate, either. We have the historical record of actual wins and losses while Dolan has been the owner of this team.

And a person who fires a security guard simply because they did not recognize him, where that security guard does not have a frame of reference for recognizing him, they are a tyrant and a small person.

Dolan hit rock bottom when the coomieh intervened and had him hire someone other than isiah. The sexual harrasment suit and being the least professional organization in sports should have been rock bottom. Personally I have heard enough b s about the melo trade to last a lifetime. I want the Knicks to make the playoffs and for the first round pick that was traded to not be a lottery pick. I also don't want melo to walk to teach Dolan a lesson. I don't really get that logic but I know there is a lot of upside to cap space. The Knicks haven't done much with their cap space or draft picks for me to have confidence that they will make the right or better decisions. The owner is frustrating but I don't want to see the Knicks team not have success, have misfortune and look stupid in hopes that he wii change his ways. It all has happened before and it sucked. I just want the Knicks to win and get in the playoffs.

The pick to Denver is already gone; it doesn't matter if it's a lotto pick or not since it isn't ours. And the people who want Melo gone, even for nothing, don't view it as something bad; they believe that any contract we resign Melo to will be too large to ever build a contender around.

Are we sti trying to dictate to others how to be fans?

I think if people are posting that they want Melo to leave to teach Dolan a lesson and that they want the pick to be the top pick overall to teach him a lesson have a different agenda then wanting cap space.

Yeah. Post differently

The trade deadline is just a distraction. 2014-2015 set the stage for NYK ascendance or continued mediocrity.

Which way is up?
