The Knicks' time would be better spent cleaning out their front office of egotistical members that make the franchise look more like a soap opera than a basketball operation before they seek to clean out players who display similar behavior.
Yep, the Knicks need a top to bottom cleaning out.
In the NBA, adding talent can change your fortunes quickly. Still, I think with some franchises, it can reach a point where you need to start over completely and grow something positive organically over the course of a few years.
Knicks are in a tough position, because they need to make the most of the last 3-5 years of Carmelo's time as a top scorer, but at the same time they really need to build some infrastructure, both in the front office and on the roster. The Lakers are in a similar spot, only Kobe has only a year or so left in his career, so they can afford to be half-in, half-out.
