I would definitely be willing to suck for the rest of the year if we could have a Porzingis.
Even sucking for the rest of the year would by no means guarantee getting a guy like that.
But yeah, I hear you.
Just remember, Knicks fans waited over a decade for a young savior type prospect like that to finally come along.
With any luck, we won't have to wait that long.
Of course not. If we got the number one pick there's no guarantee he'd be as good as the Zinger. He and KAT have proven to be special prospects.
The good news is that we're already guaranteed our own Porzingis in the draft. (By draft position I mean, no guarantee that he'll be as good.)
The question is whether we want to suck for the rest of the season to get our own Myles Turner. It might be as simple as trading away Isaiah Thomas.
I've never been a proponent of tanking. I've always advocated for contending while rebuilding. But I want this organization to commit either to contending or tanking. If we're going to try to win games, while developing the likes of Smart, Crowder, RJ, and Mickey, then we better actually win games. If we're not going to win a lot of games, we might as well lose a lot.
