Lottery picks over last 35 years:

2005 - Channing Frye #8
2008 - Gallo #6
2009 - Jordan Hill #8
2015 - KP #4
2017 - Frank #8
2018 - Knox #9
2019 - RJ #335 yrs..10 lottery picks, and not one became an all star...wow
It is extremely difficult to develop in NYC, which is why I never had a problem of trading picks for "ready now" more establish players like a Sprewell or LJ. Players that you know have the work ethic and passion for winning and can shoot.
When fizdale said most of his young players are up all night playing "fortnight, call of duty and other addictive games" thats just additional distraction from all the other distractions playing in NY.
RJ does look like he has the best shot at becoming at least an all star, but we are going to have to put some really good players around him.
Trading all picks away does make it difficult to get anything to develop.
And what this method results? Getting a bunch washed out, one-sided, and bad character stars with predictable result of losing.
Firing coaches and execs, constant drama and totalitarian culture in the organization.
And finally complete moral and basketball bankruptcy and bunch of fans who does not have a clue what winning bbal is.

The team was already established. We traded a very good player in Mase for a very good player Larry.
We can’t very well improve the team one player for another, its multiple players for one.
The Chemistry was still pretty good. Larry was a good team guy. Starks was beloved but on the down swing and erratic. We traded a few players for Spree. IT as a very very good trade for us but it came with risks. Spree had his incident and was then we bought all that baggage to NYC. It worked out.
RJ seems exceptional mature young man wit intensity. Knox I have read noting but good work habits about him. RJ is a very complete young man. Kevin biology just might not have caught up to his professional demands but that does not mean game over for him. Could mean his is to blossom. Works both ways.

Just because Isiah or Layden did that, doesn't mean every GM/president will target those types of veterans..
That's like saying every GM we get will draft frank/knox type of talent

The knicks traded first round picks when they consider themselves to be a piece or 2 away from being a legit contender..which most contenders are willing to do.

Man F$ck all that it’s as simple as having a star pg to bring out the best in your prospects look at what JA is doing for Memphis with a bunch of scrubs .
Imagine if we had a star pg that’s why it’s still important to land in the top 5 of the lottery.
Mitch
Dot
RJ
Knox
Morris
Randal
Portis
Even frank
Would all be playing at top level with star PG play.
Get that PG
Mic Drop

He is as far as that roster is concerned. He is easily better than Bridges and Washington from the Hornets.
Does it matter that he s 7th in shots blocked per game despite his minutes?
Shouldn’t 2nd all rookie team matter form last season? Cuz his play after the alls star game last year counted to the honor.
Its not like he fell off the wagon this year.
1248 wants stars, but he wants them prefabricated.

If it was up to me as a knick fan i would have voted him in.
I'm just not surprised one bit that he didn't get selected.
He's just too one dimensional, and didn't add a single offensive move to his game this off season
Centers with no perimeter game is a thing of the past, which is why Drummond and Capela are on the trading block..
