"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

[Lurk Angle]

Spurs get Branham and Sochan.

Rockets get Smith and Eason.

Pistons get Ivey and Duren.

All organizations that have won championships in the last 30 years. All organizations that have been competitive. All organizations that have recently struggled.

The Knicks actively choose to get no one so they can keep their books clear for Jalen Brunson.

This is seriously a joke of an organization.

Maybe in the next couple of years Dolan has a Vince McMahon pulled on him and he's forced out but that's wishful thinking

Until then this team ain't never gonna get there

Unserious ass franchise

In their defense. We tried to trade up in a shyttier draft and failed. What makes you think we’re gonna be able to next year?

Having 6 picks to package instead of 1, for starters.

I don't think I've ever genuinely felt embarrassed to have been a fan of this team before.

Using those picks to keep Duren would've made for an amazing deal, instead we use it to shed 8 million dollars. That's embarrassing lol.

Woulda traded 11 and 3 second rounders for 2 firsts and Jalen Duren...instead they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Knicks should have hired Nico Harrison.

Ny must have a sure bet in free agency. Which would explain why the don't want the guaranteed salary from a first rounder too.

How do you do a worse job than a half a sleep, high on peyote, senile Phil Jackson?

 

[RickyGQ]

So we had 5 potential firsts next year… trading the worst one to get rid of Kemba isn’t the worst.

Nico ain't Black now?

I think we're getting another from Detroit back, from the bucks I think.

 

[NYK Loyalist]

So they are clearing cap space and collecting picks for guys they have no chance of getting. What a joke

I still don't like it...but it's not AS bad as it started off. I'm praying they're trying to stockpile picks to throw at Dejounte Murray for that Jrue Holiday type trade (3 picks and 2 swaps in that case)...I don't think this FO does that sorta thing though.

The Denver 2023 was traded in the Kemba deal
