Shows you how moronic our front office is. Like Phil didn't deal with Kobe, Shaq and MJ.
Breh you really comparing prime Kobe Shaq and MJ to 35 yr old Leflab? Come on fam. Phil has a point if we're being honest. It'd be different if Bron was 28, but mortgaging the future for a 35 yr old declining superstar instead of focusing on building a young core would be a mistake.

But if they already made their bed why toss the mattress out now? Y’all acting like we can’t get LeBron help and still develop the young players. If we land an impact player and assemble the right role players then we in business. It’s not like we have zero flexibility.

If this front office just can’t do it then yeah we should get what we can get for him but even a 35 year old LeBron gives us more of a chance than Melo on the Knicks.

So brehs, outside of the big name targets, which players are priority for next season?

I don’t mind bringing back some of last year’s groups. Rondo would need to focus on his 3 all summer, same with Lance, I can only see McGee in a backup role. Bullock would be cool too since he’s already a decent 3/D guy.

Is Ariza a free agent? How y’all feel about Brooke Lopez coming back? I personally prefer we get DeAndre Jordan on a good deal but that’s me. Who are the role players we should be targeting?

Out of the vets, I think McGee deserves another shot and unpopular opinion, maybe Rondo but hopefully Ball will be healthy and Rondo could run the second unit. I still hope we can bring Caruso as full time and not lose him. I'd be open To Brooke coming back but don't think he will end up here. Bullock I feel like didn't get a fair shot, still unsure, depends on how much. Still out on KCP tho. If we land Kawhi, I could see Danny Green coming here. We do need to bring in some shooters

I’m hype for the lottery....How high of a draft pick do y'all think it'd take to sweeten an AD deal enough for them to stop bullshyttin and do what has to be done?

I don't even understand that notion, I don't recall Melo ever having much pull in NY. Feels like they're going out of their way to show Bron isn't making decisions now. He's here now, he should be consulted or asked about certain decisions.


Melo didn't have pull but he had the no trade clause and they couldnt get rid of him when it wasnt working out. I think thats what they feel comfortable with when it comes to Bron. If we have another disaster next season they can trade him

Great point breh, if we get Kawhi then we getting Danny Green too so might not be no need for Bullock. Second unit of Rondo/Hart/Green/Kuz/McGee is solid especially if Hart and Kuz get their shots back.
