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

what up, y'all.

excited for the season.

I was the first one in my fam born in the US. I don't take that shyt for granted in the slightest. Frank might be the most mature person out of this draft. Plus he's already played pro ball. I always do my best to not overrate or put too much pressure on rookies, but I want this nikka to succeed so much

The part about him making enough money at 16 for his mom not to have to work so hard hurt me a bit. Why can’t the nba have jr clubs like they do overseas?

 

[storyteller]

I know we all hate frank isola but today on PTI, he made it seem like a deal for melo to cavs was real close but lebron wouldn't commit long term so cavs backed out.

Anyone think the reason they wanted a long term deal was because BK's first rounder was involved? If it was, man did we miss a great opportunity. We could of ran into a possibility of having 2 top 5-7 picks next yr

Even two years ago when the first murmurs of Melo trades dropped, the BK picks weren't on the table. I doubt it was ever in play. Most reports make it sound like we were pushing for Love and couldn't even get him added to a deal. Osman was probably the best we could hope for.

In af

Let's get it

I predict playoffs with the cancer Melo gone. If they don't sign another aging has been like Marbury, they will make the playoffs easy.

Y'all will be lucky to scrape together 20 wins. The first team in 50 years to have potentially FOUR white starters.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

In.

Not gonna lie. Genuinely excited for the team this year. Not because they'll win anything, but because we got a young star for the future and some interesting talent, and it'll be cool to see a Knick's roster without a languishing all-star.

Porzingis team now

Wonder how long he's going to last

Because the NCAA has to pimp the young dudes first and get their cut

These nikkas keep with that unicorn crap while not seeing him struggle to demand the ball running with Willy/O'quinn, ennings, holiday, kuz/thomas
they don't remember him struggling and failing against smaller guards and throwing up ghastly shots and his poor rebounding and him guarding a stretch 4 and chasing blocks like an idiot, but you can't criticize his game JUST YELL UNICORN and sell dreams.

Run the team thru Willy and we will go places ASAP let KP do what he does best spot up from threes and be a taller Ryan Anderson

 

[KnickstapeCity]

This nikka legit might be worse than the nikka @Illuminatos.

Hoping for a top 5 pick like

Do you concede that Nowitzki was a valid 1st option?

Considering the similarites, you really feel comfortable dismissing Porzingis' skillset and drive because of what? His first 2 years in the league?
