Reporting with @ZachLowe and @RamonaShelburne: In meeting with management today, Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis expressed his concern with the losing, franchise direction and an uncertainty that a culture is developing that will enable sustainable organizational success.
KP has always been vocal about his displeasure about playing in a terrible franchise with no direction. Grabbing Knox was a good move, but Frank doesn't seem like he is gonna pan out. Hardaway is an average shooter with nothing else to show for, no play making, inefficient scorer, and this year he's shooting a dreadful 34.8%. You know the funny thing about THJ, is that people gloat and boast about his shooting prowess, but he's only hit past league average twice. His career average is 34% from 3P. That isn't good at all.
Mudiay was a nice pick up, but what is his future realistically?
The Knicks like the Bucks, and I remember someone here posted earlier about the Bucks long term vision, trading away draft picks, and recklessly losing everything for nothing; are literally following in their footsteps. Except Bucks got super lucky with Giannis, and are lucky to have convinced Budenholzer to come over and coach. (Fairweatherfan?)
They better pray Zion pans out, or RJ/Reddish works with their system. They desperately need help at literally every position except 4/5. (Really high on Mitchell Robinson, but I don't think his ceiling is as high as people think it is.)
Being a New York native, it's always depressing to see my Giants stink every year. Mets are on the right path, but the Knicks were a franchise that I always HATED watching as a youngster. It's always surprising to me how dysfunctional of a franchise the Knicks have been, and honestly they really have nothing to show for their past few years of being a terrible team.
