Jeff Van Gundy recently gave his opinion on the current Knicks, here is what he had to say according to the New York Daily News

There's no telling what Van Gundy could say tonight from Orlando, when he broadcasts his first Knicks game for ESPN. Breen will work the game for MSG Network. The Knicks certainly have given Van Gundy plenty of ammunition; they are 30-49, having long been consigned to their eighth straight losing season.

"The Knicks' record is what the record is and the record for the decade is what it is," said Van Gundy, the third-winningest coach in franchise history. "You can't spin that for anything positive. But the positives they do have going for them is an owner that wants to win and will spend money to win. They have an executive in Donnie Walsh who has proven to be an astute judge of talent and character and has put together near championship teams. And they have a successful coach.

"What they need are starting-caliber players. They have nice guys if you're talking about four or fifth starters or rotation backups. They've got to find a best player that they can build around."

Van Gundy's style is very direct. He'll mix in humor with pointed commentary but he's also loyal to the coaching fraternity because "I know how difficult the job is. My only comments about coaches have been positive."

 

I agree with Jeff Van Gundy 100%. The truth is as much as Knick fans want the Knicks to make it to the playoffs and be an above 500. team it is not going to happen with the current roster. It did not happen this year, and if we do not get a real star play next year it will not happen next year. There are many things that you can knock James Dolan for, but being cheap with players and the organization is not one of them. James Dolan is willing to spend money to put the right product on the court. Now it is up to Donnie Walsh to find the right star player. A winning team is all fans have asked for.  Knick fans want to return to the days that they can  finally be trilled to call themselves Knicks fans.
