Re: How would you fix the Knicks?

This is how I would fix the Knicks

Number one is to hire an experienced, successful GM. Then you make it clear that the reshaping of the Knicks will take multiple years and the GM will have 100% ownership backing during the process. Next is to determine the core group of players to build around and, besides David Lee there aren't any for sure keepers. The Knick fans demand players who give 100% effort on both ends of the court and all aspects of the game. That means it is time to end the relationships with Crawford, Curry and Marbury. Fortunately there are probably a number of teams that would be interested in Curry and perhaps even Crawford. I wouldn't give them away but they don't seem to be capable of performing consistently at a high level on both ends of the court and are simply not winning NBA players. I think the new coach needs to set the parameters around which the team will practice and play , probably like Larry Brown did, and be 100% supported by the GM. If there are players who don't like that then get them off the team. Hopefully it won't take as long to turn around as some franchises took ( Chicago, LA Clipps ) or are taking ( Atlanta, Portland)
