Lots of trash takes from Knick thread randoms in here, particularly
@Joe Sixpack and
@GhostoftheMan
Lots of double talk bullshyt, saying not to waste your assets but then clown the Knicks for not making moves or not being able to make moves vibes.
Knicks got the assets and can hold on to a decent amount of the talent they've accumulated, as well as the picks they've stacked.
It's a clunky roster composition, but it's more collective talent that the team has had in some time.
If having too many illfit pieces means they gotta reconstruct to make better, that's still better than not having the pieces to do anything of consequence.
I don't like the move, but you make the move and figure it all out afterwards. You take the swing. You move towards respectability and thin the fat as necessary so it works.
But you don't send all your youth and all your picks. A balance of picks, redundancies and youth is the move. That makes the trade work. That justifies the haul. You accumulated all these picks just for this moment. You saved those bigger, not so favorable contracts to ensure you have the matching salary. You make the move and don't bat an eye.
BTW, all that corny ass chicken little it's Melo all over again talk needs to stop, too. That Melo trade made us a top team for a quick minute before injuries and a horrible Bargnani trade. I'd make that move every fukking time. Not wait and hope for him to come in free agency. fukk that. Make the move.
In short, a lot of yall really need to shut the fukk up about this because your takes are trash.
Respectfully.
