On the Brink

-New York Knicks

Is there a current franchise in all of sports more of a disaster than the Knicks? Ok, the Browns dont count anymore.

Sitting with the fourth worst record in the NBA, the New York Knicks have some decisions to make as they try to build around Kristaps Porzingis. Will they ever trade Carmelo Anthony? Will they eventually fire Phil Jackson? Will they buy out Derrick Rose?

The Knicks are a few decisions away from mailing this season completely in.

-Phoenix Suns

The plan in Phoenix was to make a run for the playoffs this year and start to grow up, but it simply hasn’t worked out.

Building around Devin Booker, the Suns currently have the worst record in the Western Conference and there really isn’t anything reason for them to leave that spot.

The only reason I have them in this category is the fact they have the pieces to land a top talent on the market. But if they don’t, they will move into the ‘Bank On It’ category.
