The 2014-2015 New York Knicks' season was such a disaster it might as well have been directed by Roland Emmerich.
New York, guided by first-year head coach Derek Fisher, won just 17 games, finishing with the second-worst record in the NBA and the worst record in franchise history.
The Knicks front office has had to watch departed players like Timofey Mozgov, Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith and, to a lesser extent, Pablo Prigioni enjoy a long run of playoff success as they sit and assess how to salvage the franchise from the muck.
