Simple: they are a new team. They're moving into a new arena and have a new owner.

Besides, I don't like the Knicks (fans). They too elitist. Tawnbout some "you wasn't rooting for us in the 70's". In other words, Knick fans are a movement that's been around for generations off swagger alone. You can't bandwagon a team with a generation of fans unless they the Lakers. People will give you FOH look.

I'm still a Cavs fan and feel this super team shit will eventually kill the league. However, I might as well contribute to its' early demise by pulling for a team with a massive payroll and three superstars.
