I agree. Have to wonder if Phil will ask Jennings to come back for half the cost of Rose (with 75% of the production) and focus on other areas with his cap space.

This.

Randle looks like one of those young solid backup PGs other teams always seem to have and we never do.

I keep talking about positivity in this place. We need to speak things into existence. Say what you want but speak positively about it not negatively. You can't ask for something with negative words towards the people in charge especially when the person working is genuine in their work. Food for thought.

Positivity is great BUT I think its also important to be honest as well even if its not 100% positive. I mean if there were no criticisms then the knicks would be 82-0

You are fighting for your right to be negative. That's why I go off the deep end and guys get mad at me. You can be critical when it calls for it but you have to speak with a righteous tongue not a troll under the bridge.

See this is why i get upset with you. You are accusing me of fighting for negativity which is bull. Actually i consider myself a positive fan but i just try and be objective. If you notice im extremely positive on kp,willy,jennings,kuz, the courtney lee signing,the noah signing(even though i didnt like the length of the contracts),the hornacek hire and even melo for his olympic performance. Does that sound like a negative fan to you?

Everything is awesome. Everything is cool when you are part of a team. [Repeat]

It almost seems brainwashy, but if you digest what Eny keeps saying here, there is sound logic. No one really thinks "critical thinking" is wrong. Its just that there is such a culture of negativity surrounding the Knicks that it becomes easy to phrase even gentle criticisms with a negative cast. That perpetuates a cycle of self-fulfilling failures. Player A sucks cause we said he sucks. Not cause he really sucks.

In the attempt to change the franchise to a winning culture, there is somewhat of a trickle down theory that starts with places like this board. By resisting the urge to piss on the Knicks (or even just use negative words) when describing the team, you can affect a positive culture change. It plays out to people just reading the posts or talking about the team by the coffee machine.

Its seems a bit silly, but I get it. Choosing words positively can affect change by itself. Perhaps when the beat writers (who steal their article ideas from this board) see more positive language, they will embrace the culture shift also.

So, for me, I plan to limit my negativity to decribing Frank Isola's inherent biases and Marc Berman's feline-esque mood swings. All other writers have a clean slate by me.

Otherwise, I hope someone starts a Jennings pass video cause those assists are making me jump out of my seat. Bam. Honestly, Derek Harper was probably the last point guard that really had me hopping like that. Jennings' spins really remind me of DH.
