I'm really deadass. I have no interest in watching Brunson, RJ, Randle toss coins on who goes left first and who's leader.

I'm an Obi and IQ fan through and through.

If I'm Knicks FO, I'm giving this not even 2nd thought. I'll 🚫 their suggestions and not ever entertain Ainge ever again.
If we end up trading Obi & Randle's still on the team, Knick fans will go ballistic lol. I could really see ticket sales and MSG subscriptions taking a hit because of the fans disapproval

Knicks are the only team willing to match their price and he wants to be there, it's a pretty easy trade to make for both
Windhorst thinks it will be a historic picks haul. If we can keep all our youth i might be ok with 7 firsts or whatever. With the way this FO can find talent out their ass, still having alot of second rounders and a deep wallet, we can always buy our way into the late first or Earl second round.

Yeah, it's basically the Knicks and Jazz playing chicken. The best offer outside of New York is Tyler Herro and 3 picks max that Miami can offer (I think there might be a way for them to make that 4). The Knicks have up to 8 picks to offer plus a selection out of Grimes, Obi, IQ, Rokas, McBride. I can see arguing that Herro is a better value than any single piece but not a collective of 'em or even 1 of them plus all the extra picks.

So now it's just a game of, how much are Knicks willing to offer and what will Ainge be willing to settle for. It's gotta beat Herro and picks, but beyond that it's just a matter how willing Ainge is to enter the season with Mitchell on the team. If he wants to tank, he should be moving Mitchell asap.

Facts.

Me, my Pops and brother would never go to a Knicks game for maybe the next couple years, let alone even bring up a discussion about them.

I got the warriors as my backup team so I'm not stressing if the Knicks go full stupid on me. I need a comic relief team.

They'd try to cushion it by bringing back Melo...that meeting never made sense unless they were prepping to move one of Randle and Obi. I hope it was just precautionary though...well I hope it was because they planned to move Randle, but that's not likely.

Except it’s Ainge who likes to trade rape teams….. and yes I could have called it a robbery, but he is actively looking to fukk the other team over so it’s a rape.

He’s the Bain Capital of GM just liquidating assets and ruining teams on both sides. The Celtics getting to the Finals without him shows how good he is in small doses. You bring him in to destroy everyone and then bring in somebody else to build it back up.

Obi will kill if he's moved. He'd be for sure one of the players I'd put money on for most improved next year (Im putting money on Devin Vassell and Chris Duarte too).
I absolutely have to see Brunson and Obi play together. This bullshyt with Ainge is pissing me the fukk off.

I just wanted them to overpay for a OG level wing and see what this team could develop into….

They gonna trade it all for a short back court led by a guy who calls himself Spida….
