My goodness! What can we do to end up with such a backcourt? Those two can shoot the ball, defend, and they both play with a silent edge.
Wowwwwww! I am so jealous of the warriors

My friends you had your chance. Now suffer for not doing the tank the way it was suppose to be done. Those extra wins in a BS season were totally worth it.

Curry was the pick before the Knicks pick.
What year and who did we pick?

2009 and we picked Jordan Hill right after Curry went to GSW. I believe Curry went 7th and we picked 8th.
BTW, DeMar DeRozen went 9th, one spot after we took Hill. The real donkey of that draft was Minnesota and the infamously moronic GM David Kahn. He had the 5th and 6th picks and took Rubio (OK, defensible at the time) BUT then immediately took another PG, Johnny Flynn (who is out of the league). What the F. Minnesota couldve added a Curry/DeRozan backcourt to Kevin Love (who was drafted the year before).

Yep, that's what happened. Tanking would have helped there.
He probably would have been traded by now. NY media has a way Of trashing talented players

And don't forget, the year before we were one pick away from drafting Kevin Love.

Kevin love is one player I am happy we did not draft. Offensively he is another Carmelo. Defensively, he doesn't exist. No thanks.
Davis has been good, really good, so far this season but, for my money, Curry's been the best overall player so far. Thompson isn't quite where Curry is but he's been a top 15, maybe top 10, player so far. It's worth noting, injuries aside . . . those guys are going just get better.

You gotta love the Knicks and their management. They are always winning championships in their own minds.

Watching the W Knicks tonight, I love the new management team. Signing Wear as an undrafted free agent was a great move. Getting Thanasis to sign a d league deal and not go t camp or over seas was a great move. Watching Thanasis tonight, he gets wear/Outlaws spot and Wear is playing in te County Center if he goes to camp. Galloway and probably Sanchez could both be rotation players. The big picture is good in my opinion.

Agreed the new management know championships. They know talent combined with system wins championships. That is why I hope they tank it and avoid meaningless wins that do the organization more harm than good.

Watching that game tonight was the best I've felt about the Knicks in a long time. There is more talent in Westchester right now than I bargained for. I see 2 or 3 of them on the team next year. Looks like a plan. I hope Sanchez pans out. I'm sure Thanassis will. If both do, we'd have a better frontline than we've had in eons. I was very impressed.

Curry was MDA's boy. Who knows what happens if we had gotten him. Too many variables. Might not have made the Anthony trade if MDA believed he was not the guy to use with Curry. Might have had some #1 picks to play around with. Still saddled with a diminished Amare, but we could have amnestied him since we never would have had Billups if the Anthony trade did not go down. Maybe Dolan accepts a slower rebuild with Curry developing along with other younger players we might have picked up in the draft. MDA might still be coaching here, for all I know.
Curry is a great player and I remember the disappointment I felt when we missed out on drafting him. It was when we had
and Steph would have lit it up under MDA.
One pick higher and MDA might still be here today.

Knicks1969 wrote:I don't believe in tanking, and I don't think that will resolve our issues. We need to solidify the starting five, and we need to replenish our bench. There is no way we do so with a top draft pick.
2009 NBA Draft
Stephen Curry 7th overall
2011 NBA Draft
Klay Thompson 11th overall
I think we drafted our future PF with the 50th pick, so you can get starters anywhere in the draft if you scout well. The higher the better of course. Still want that # 1 pick.
Melo + Thanasis + Okafor sounds like a frontline to me.
