A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[d3323]

Excuse my ignorance but where did this james dolan is a racist talk come from? Not defending the man, I honestly believe 100% percent of white people are racist but I need receipts on dolan. Yes he’s a terrible owner, but we have the blackest front office in the league. Yes he voted and donated to trump, but I think it has more to do with a billionaire voting for a billionaire because he knows he’s getting billion dollar tax cut.

Probably the Oakley shyt but I think that was more personal than a racist thing

This trade was stupid



Either way frank better be starting soon. Enough bullshyt

 

[Miles Davis]

I had a feeling, these dudes are clowns

You telling me there was no better offer for Willy. Couldn’t even wait till someone got desperate.

Yea there was a better deal. START him and let Kanter heal upI didn't even know about this Kornet and Hicks players being available so they could've played with Willy holding down the 5. Dotson and Frank or Burke could be playing while Frank at least gets to play earlier. Let Tim rest and just trade Lee and Quinn since squads are asking for them. Get some picks for THIS draft

We are going to have to discuss the reality of KP's extension considering what shape he is expected to be in moving forward.

This is something I thought Philly would be dealing with.



Last night and today has been a big clusterfukk.

Didn’t say Dolan was racist... I was just trolling saying knicks FO was trumpset cuz they didn’t want Spanish being spoken

I'm still gonna watch some games to see Frank's development with more PT and watch Trey.I. and B-EZ get buckets.

Gotta monitor the tank as well.

I don't understand the Hernangomez trade, KP just went down, minutes just opened up for him. He's making about $1.5M, was a First Team All-Rookie, a walking double double, is only 23 under team control. Why trade him? You gotta be more hard-line with those young assets. Look at Danny Ainge, right now he's demanding a first for Marcus Smart and refused to trade Terry Rozier.

Fam, that's the nail on the head. I always shake my head at what guys like Ainge or Morey are rumored to be asking for in trades but it seems like every couple of years they find some fool to bite. Even when they get left with the bag, they're just stockpiling assets anyway. That Irving trade is looking crazier and crazier...and he STILL has a gang of options.

Bro he requested a trade lol
Why are u guys ignoring this point
Hes not gonna suddenly wanna stay just because some dudes got injured. The team already gave up on him. He said yesterday he wanted out and the deal was probably already in the works.

Remember when marbury got benched for chris duhon and embarassed on opening night? Lol knicks said they werent fukkin with him. Then once they made some trades they asked him to play and he said fukk no lol

Same situation to a lessee degree. Willy was in the media guide and shyt as a player they were building towards and they benched him cause he was getting out played in training camp He was probably pissed off that they brought in kanter in the first place.

Last night and today has been a big clusterfukk.

Already, the Knicks looked likely to be able to create cap space for the summer of 2019, when Enes Kanter's contract will be up (Kanter has an $18.6 million player option for 2018-19 that he seems likely to exercise) and Lance Thomas' $7.6 million salary is non-guaranteed. By 2019, Joakim Noah also will be entering the final season of his exorbitant contract, which should be easier to trade at that point. Alternatively, New York could waive Noah and stretch his remaining salary, reducing his cap hit from $19.3 million to $6.4 million.

One more way the Knicks could create 2019 cap space would be trading shooting guard Courtney Lee for a player with two years remaining on his contract. I've suggested previously that Lee is a good sell-high candidatebecause he's making a career-best 42 percent of his 3-pointers. If New York isn't going to win next season, that's all the more reason to trade Lee now, because he'll become less desirable to other teams as he ages and his salary increases.

The other question the Knicks face is what to do with Porzingis himself, since he's eligible for a contract extension this coming fall. Though neither LaVine nor Parker agreed to extensions with their teams while rehabbing, Porzingis' superior track record of success and role as the face of the franchise suggests he probably will get a max extension from New York.

Alas, Porzingis' injury will make it difficult and probably impossible for him to make an All-NBA team (or win Defensive Player of the Year) next season and qualify to start his extension at 30 percent of the salary cap rather than the usual 25 percent for players with his experience.

You having a good time?

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

You having a good time?

To be perfectly honest, yes and no.

I hate seeing guys getting injured, especially promising young players. I've said it before, KP won me over, and I'm rooting for the kid.

But seeing Knicks fans all dejected & depressed is a little hilarious since I was clowned. I'm telling y'all, taking a break from Knicks fandom has been one of the best basketball decisions in my life

Why would someone get desperate for willy breh

 

[mbewane]

Couldn't even watch anything NBA related today after seeing KP go down, and when I finally come back online I see we traded Billy for damn near nothing.

fukkig Knicks brehs

I'm gonna be 45 and we're still be talking about making the playoffs or tanking

Get well KP
