YOU have to start somewhere.... nothing is currently happening that is that bad to continue to cry like a female k-9. We have plenty off things too feel good about... we still have a long journey but so far there's no need for the novela
why is he talking about tanking, that's a losers mentality.. I'm not teaching my kids how to be losers, cmon man we need to cut that out.

He's only 30. Seems like he has been in the league forever.

I have no horse in this race, but if you were to ask me what has more long-term value in the NBA, a potential top number one or two pick in a year they project to be very good versus a "mentality," I'll take the pick and not think twice.
Me, I teach my kid about having perspective, and seeing things in the long-term and not to focus on immediate gratification.

Why do adults put their weird obsession with winning in sports onto their kids- sports is entertainment, it's not worth messing your kids up for. Winnings nice, but in the grand scheme of things there are more important things in life
Why is Hahn pondering the news that we've signed Sessions?
Good pick up that fills a need. Specially with what was left. Not a huge difference maker as to our record but good cerebral decision. Would have been interesting to see how Perry would have handled the draft and Hardaway signing. So far he seems practical.

Seem to recall that he's not a great defender, but I'll let others throw out the stats to prove or disprove.

He's pondering if this is a precursor to another move.

this is a no other option signing, he shot 38% fg, and like 32% from 3..and has been on like damn near every team in the league
not surprised you are whining. Good signing to help mentor frank and baker
It's a one year deal. If he's bad or even terrible, we can just cut him. This should be a complaining situation for nobody.

Lol, it's 3 pages too late for that. But, I like the signing and I hope it means no Kyrie.

So ? - if Session's is awful can we just cut him on a vet min deal and sign someone else on the same vet-min type deal with no cap implications or are we stuck with Sessions for year?

You say that, but we won't win any less games than last year.
Want to bet? Once we're shot of melo (we aren't getting anything of significance back), we have a terrible roster. Our youngsters are going to need a few years.
Melo was one of our worst players last year. Virtually every combination of players was better with him off the court.
nothing wrong with this signing...Sessions has a pretty low ceiling but should contribute at no cost. Should be a good mentor to Frank.

he is terrible but he is much better than Baker so there is that

I disagree.....bakers value is having the defensive flexibility to guard multiple positions.....Sessions will mentor both Frank and baker on running the offense as a point guard. But teams pay more for youth and potential.....its a gamble.....same with Hardaway Jr. ...

I'm betting Baker passes him by next season. Baker does things defensively that NONE of our guards do and he was acclimating to the toughest position for a young guard to learn in the NBA. Some amount of perspective is needed when judging Baker. He's not a superstar type but he's going to be a very good team player.

This is all correct but you also have to teach them how to win. As difficult as it may be, you have find that balance.
In the case of the Knicks, if they want to build a "winning" culture, you have to start by trying to actually win games.
Session is solid if not spectacular. Good pick up. Now I hope they give Frank huge minutes this year. They should start him off slowly but by the Allstar game, he needs at least 25 minutes a game.

Which won't mean squat if you don't have the horses.
It's symbiotic, not horse & cart.
Let's be positive here folks.. low cost player who's a hard nose defender at a minimal cost. Takes over the Sasha role as 10th man which is fine.
