Knicks Fall for the 5th time out of 15 Lotteries

Since the season has ended, the Knicks have fallen from a tie for 6th to 7th, and now in the lottery to 8th.  This looks like a 6 or player draft to me, so at this point I feel like the Knicks might get a good player, but unless Frank Ntilikina is available, they're not likely to get a "second piece."  I think Jayson Tatum is Kenny Sky Walker part 2.  The best the Knicks can now hope to do, is find another first rounder or two by trading Carmelo, Kyle O'Quinn and Courtney Lee - and put a cheap, tradeable cast around KP for the near future.  I actually think if they can dump Carmelo and bring in some young talent, they can avoid the lottery for awhile.  Btw, I think it is statistically odd that, though the odds of falling are always lower than the odds for moving up, the Knicks have now done it 5 times in 15 lotteries.
