That's it bruh..
Well since you want to turn this thread into that...who do you know that 100% WANTED to come to the knicks in that terrible situation they were in? I mean we ARE a top 3 market right? Surely there are numerous articles you can find for us on the internet of basketball stars saying they wanted to come here. Don't give me hypotheticals about how Melo was going to come here because of La La and all that other nonsense. Which scenario seems more plausible to you? Melo going to Brooklyn to play with an all-star pg and an emerging center in Brook Lopez...or come to the knicks and play with David LeeThat's it bruh. Embrace the truth, yall got a top 3 market and nikkas wanna be there. Yall might can't compete with Miami and L.A due to weather and quality of life (plus Florida doesn't have state income taxes) but yall are ahead of Chicago and everywhere else. Yall can convince yourself that Melo wasn't coming unless you gave Amare 100 mill but when that nikka comes back yall gon be begging a team to take him. Meanwhile David Lee is creeping in the mvp convo. Last week Steph was ranked 10th on the mvp ladder on nba.com. This week Lee is gonna be higher than that.
What has being in a big market done for the Knicks for most of the decade? Or the clippers since they've been in LA?
That shyt is overblown
Chicago was waiting for Lebron to make his decision. They didn't have enough cake for two superstars.
NY had a shyt load of capspace in 1996 when players like MJ, Barkley, Kenny Anderson, Reggie Miller, etc were all free agents and were all linked/rumored to being Knicks.
We ended up w/ Allan Houston & Chris Childs that summer
If Steph Curry was ranked 10th in mvp voting according to nba.com then why can't Lee be ranked higher when he's having a better season and carrying the team?nikka said david lee....mvp consideration HAHAHA....not just making the all star game...mvp talks
If Steph Curry was ranked 10th in mvp voting according to nba.com then why can't Lee be ranked higher when he's having a better season and carrying the team?
You can't compare your history to the Clippers. Donald Sterling is notorious for being cheap. You can't sign stars by being cheap. Now that the nba has revenue sharing he's not so cheap. The last time yall had cap space before 2010 Lil Bow Wow was riding a big wheel. Yall got the Garden bruh, yall got Madison Avenue. Yall the are the Mecca. You probably can't get the top guy you want but you can get top tier free agents. Are you honestly telling me that if Minny had Amare and Melo that Tyson would sign there because he wanted to play with them that bad Kevin Love is a better rebounding Amare and Rubio is a top 3 pg in terms of setting up his teammates but nobody is gonna okay a trade to play with them if they had any leverage like CP3 did. Why didn't Dwight put OKC on his wish list of places to go? OKC had a amnesty and Serge Ibaka to get Dwight to OKC. That nikka didn't put them on his list because he wanted to get to a large market like LA or NY. It ain't about guys wanting to play together, it's about where they play. Talk to me when a big 3 unite in a small market.:owerd:
are you really trying to tell Knicks fans that we dont know what goes down with our own team? There are constant instances of GOOD players who either used us to drive the price up for other teams but never intended to come here and players who never gave a first thought to coming here in the first place. I USED to be one of those Knicks fans who thought players would be lining up to come to NYC only to realize that our laughingstock status was a barrier that most couldnt get over...much like the Clippers
you caught up in numbers....get caught up in life.
