Is this going to be the basis for evaluating every decision? Why don't we just give max contracts to guys like Calderon? That will help make sure we keep getting high lottery picks.
You can't have your cake and eat it, you can't say we need to rebuild via high draft picks but at the same time complain when we lose. If we kept Lopez maybe we wouldn't of sucked as much, but then we'd have a worse draft pick. Now which would you rather have? What is the priority at this point- high first round picks or role players who help you win? You can't have both.
Really Dude? One of the reason why we are getting a high draft pick this year is because that trade backfire, that trade WAS NOT done with the intent of tanking, the high pick is a result of the Knicks poor season and VERY POOR DECISIONS.
So you'd rather we had a worse pick? What are you complaining about the trade for? Who cares if it backfired if we end up with a top pick?
Who’s to say we wouldn’t have a better draft position? That’s a poor defense since RoLo is not an impact player.
Now let me tell what the Knicks would have, they would have two players on a friendly contract (tradable assets) and a high draft pick. Instead you have over paid players and a high draft pick. See the difference.

We need to add top draft talent the next 2 drafts at the very least- if you love Lopez so much you can then sign him in free agency because he'll be a free agent by then.
I don't buy the "Rose got us a lottery pick" agrgument. Who is to say we wouldn't have been in the lottery with Calderon still running the point this year?
