The Knicks come into the week at 10-45 overall and they are the favorites to be the worst team in the league, even worse than the Sixers. Carmelo Anthony is done for the year and the team is made up of players that most of the fans don't know. Phil Jackson is hoping to break things down enough so that he can land some big players and right now everything has been mostly a mess. The team comes in as one of the worst statically in the league and they don't look pretty on the court either.
The Knicks are coming off of another tough loss against the Cavaliers and coming down the stretch Jackson is hoping the team loses as many games as they can. Okafor is the main target and he could be the next can't miss draft prospect and the Knicks desperately need him. The team comes in ranked 29th in the league in scoring and 29th in rebounding and they are also in the bottom half of the league in defense. The Knicks need to add talent and while they would love to get Kevin Durant down the line in 2016, that likely is not going to happen without some major improvement from the Knicks.
