Knicks just need to forget about landing superstars in free agency altogether. Build through the draft and focus on player development.

Look at that graphic... Knicks Worst Win Percentage Last 20 Years. And People Ask Why Knicks Fans Are So Toxic And Frustrating 😒😒

[anonymouswillis]

What I can’t understand is why aren’t they playing the youngest players why is taj Gibson in the lineup whys Ellfrid Payton playing Knox should be playing

[StephenHSmith-mniq]

Why would you put faith in anyone involved with the knickerbockers😂😂

[Tomyohann]

As much as I hate Knicks fans because they're in NY and I'm a Wizards fan, I respect them for not switching their teams when a new team becomes good like the Lakers, Clippers, and Nets

Why Everybody Talking About Knicks Getting Big Free Agents & The Knicks Got Trouble Playing & Developing Young Players

First sign of hope is when he emphasized “PATIENCE!!!”

[juanogando]

i dont mind that lady who replaced molly.

[KD_SWAGGER]

I'll forever be a New York Knicks fan no matter what happens and I'm hoping the Leon Rose regime gives us a lot of wins!

[po-vbmm]

So knick fans should be like max and be a bandwagon fan? 🤯BS, I respect fans that stick with their team not go to the most popular.

[TheHman]

why doe ESPN still talk about the Knicks? Why don't they talk about teams that are in the playoff picture like Grizzlies or Pelicans

[roseorphee]

Look at the the move the Houston Rocket made to create space for Westbrock (trade clint capela) they surrounded him with four shooter.
Compare that with the knicks metch can't shoot, Randle can't shoot, RJ can't shoot, knox can't shoot, payton can't shoot, and Frank can't shoot.
Steve mill thought he put a competitive team on the floor.
This show complete lack of basketball
IQ.

[BLVCKOUT_]

We'll see how long Leon Rose will last in NY.

[michaelsherron]

We can only get better...Let's go KNICKS!!!

[Alkhemy]

I love how some of the lowlights of the knicks they show are the knicks vs the mavericks... two games the knicks won

[GenericMinority]

I was born and raised in NYC and I'm not condoning this Knicks foolishness until they (James Dolan especially) show they care about becoming better consistently. All that smoke and mirrors im not with it. Time to get to work. I'm not now nor will I ever be Knicks fan like I was from for the past 20+ years until they do right. I refuse to bandwagon as well. I don't care who wins unless it's NYC and they ain't winning nothing anytime soon.

[benmangrum]

The Knicks are a few years away from making the playoffs

[rsdhillon]

It can't be worse. Lol he said the same thing when Phil came to NY. Sadly? It did get worse.
