Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 3668312, member: 2458"] I think Free Agents are far more likely to sign with a competitive team, or a team with the pieces to become competitive. Just having “NYC” and “the Garden” hasn’t been enough. Maybe things like that could be the cherry on top, but it can’t be your whole draw. Knicks just need to focus on drafting well and developing players and getting better now, IMO. If they’re able to look like a solid team on the rise, then you’ll have a far better shot at top FA’s, and if you get to that point and Thibs is holding you back, then make a move. IMO. Thibs is your “starter house”. Holding out hope that the best player in the league is going to come because “it’s NY” has been a false hope for a long time, and tanking for ping pong balls as such a long shot. Nets got KD and Kyrie because they had the foundation of a solid team. Same with the Lakers getting LeBron. They’d acquired and developed some nice young talent and had pieces. [/QUOTE]
