The worse New York sports franchise by far is the New York Knicks. Tonight they must have anticipated that I was going to slag them off to the world and beat the hell out of the Timberwolves, but after the effort they put out on Sunday they had only one way to go..One of the reasons they stink is that they don't know how to draft. We have more no name players than anyone in the league. If you look at the Knicks history in the last 40 years, they have been comprised of great players from other teams and a handful of solid draft choices. Think about who the Knicks have drafted in the past 15 years and think about where are they now. The greatest Knick draft pick of course was Patrick Ewing and ever since Ewing, who have they drafted worth a damn since. Charlie Ward was a good player. Mark Jackson was a rookie of the year and then the Knick compound the problem by drafting Rod Strickland. Remember Kenny Sky Walker? How about Fredric Weis? The Knicks have had several years where they did not have a first round pick. When the Knicks were good they drafted late and it did not matter because they had a solid nucleus of players. Think about how many players the got in trades over the past 4 decades. Bernard King was my favorite Knick and he was a Golden st. Warrior I believe. Larry Johnson was a Hornet. John Starks was Golden St. Warrior. Charles Smith was a Clipper. Charles Oakley was a Bull. The point is we never drafted anyone worth anything except Ewing. Sprewell and Camby were Raptors and Warriors. This is a New York franchise. We charge over 100,00 dollars for front row seats. We have the best street ball courts in the world. What has happened to this proud franchise. The way the pushed Ewing out the door is a disgrace. No free agent worth a damn wants to come there. This summer there are so many great young talent out there and no one is talking about playing in New York. Do you really believe that Lebron is going to end up a Knick? D-wade? Stoudamire or Bosh? The Knicks need to have their management spend a baseball season with the Yankees and learn how to manage New York pressure. What ever happened to Mike Sweetney? Eddie Curry? Jon Wallace? These guys were supposed to take the Knicks into the future. They draft these European players that are supposed to do what? They play defense in Europe!!! They had NeNe and he is playing on playoff teams in Denver. Antonio Mcdyess was supposed to be another great star that was in this franchise. Stephon Marbury, Jamal Crawford, Jerome Williams, players who did what for the Knicks. The Knicks need to show that they have a plan. They think that they could just put anyone on the court and then they have a team. I remember when they got Allen Houston. He was the best player that fit into what they were doing. Then they get Sprewell to make things complicated for Houston. They played in the Finals against the Spurs and were too small to compete. S.O.S. Some one save the Knicks from themselves. At least we know why the Nets stink. They have no star players and just traded away Kidd, Carter and Jefferson. The Giants and Mets may not spend a lot of money on free agents in every year but at least the try. In the last 10 years what have the Knicks done? They have brought in high price coaches who cant figure this mess out either. We are in a new decade. I want a change and I want results...
