I feel like the Knicks live on a different planet than everyone else
It's the wrong direction for the franchise...we should be tanking instead of trying to do the Miami / Toronto / San Antonio thing...but in a league where superstars are paid over 50M, 26M isn't bad for a starting PG who can be the third option on a contender.
And our youth desperately needs a starting PG, whether we end up building with them or flipping them for a 1st & 2nd option...though obviously the hope is that RJ is growing into that second option.
Luckily the east is so strong that we won't make the playoffs unless RJ takes a major leap, and this year we'll have the ammo to move up; the way we couldn't for Ivey.
