they have no 1st rnd. pick for this yrs. draft. sooo if they're tanking, they're not too bright.
but let's say they did. I don't think this organization would ever openly tank, it's NY they can't. this organization will never build through the draft, endure bad seasons(willingly) to develop young talent. they might on a minimal scale, but for the most part they'll always trade their young talent for established players(weather they're good or not) and build through free agency.
only way I see the knicks ever turning things around is if another team bails them out by making some stupid decision that favors NY. or a similar situation to Miami where a bunch star free agents get together to play there...and even then I see them screwing that up. glad i'm not a Knicks fan.
