Last 18/19 NY Knicks season transmission: "F*** all the haters from you to SAS" See y'all in '20

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

Glad this shyt is over with brehs. Sad the marquee free agents didn’t come but let’s move on.

Bruh, who did "they" "run off"? Can you and anyone else with that bullshyt narrative please stop?

Knicks have had shyt contracts seemingly for decades because they've had horrible luck with injuries and misfit personnel. Organizationally, front office has been shyt, giving out horrible contracts and with the little talent around, I'll fitting complimentary pieces. Outside of trading Ewing damn near 15 years into his tenure as he was breaking down and Phil Jackson fukking up specifically with Melo, after giving him the no trade clause to begin with, they haven't "pushed" anyone out.

Porzingis, in a year that he couldn't even fukking play, was mad from the sidelines that the team wasn't making moves to win in a year they clearly needed to lose, pushed new managements hand because of what Phil did, because he was either too stupid to realize what needed to be done for the bigger picture of the team, or wanted an excuse to leave because the tram wouldn't give his injury prone ass the keys, trying to act like a martyr of competitors when he was out the whole year and couldn't help.

THIS management hasn't pushed anyone out. THIS management is just starting. There is no realistic standing to claim the organization pushes away players that want to be here. It's fukking ridiculous and completely baseless.

This management also didn’t accomplish anything

At the end KD will be 32 coming from a torn Achilles and Kyrie has proven to be a horrible leader.

Maybe we dodged a bullet.

This is my boys stance. I don't think it's wrong, but my concern remains around the narrative that the Nets are the better organization to be with despite a fairly comparable history in the last decade (3 playoff berths for the Knicks, 4 for the Nets). Knicks or Nets getting both, there is high risk with mercurial guys with injury histories, particularly in the NY media market. But that perception from the last big free agency run in 2010 hasn't changed and I see that as significantly more problematic than missing out on KD and Kyrie in a vacuum.

If they stay the course and the youngins show growth we'll hopefully be where they are 2 years from now, if not further. But right now? Serious fukkin problem.

This thread tho...

Anyway, the writing's been on the wall. This just made it official. There aren't short cuts in rebuilding. Stay the course and don't commit any long term money to nominal pieces. Build a team of players that compliment each other and keep developing, try to grab a few extra assets with the remaining cap space. Perry and Mills have been trying to keep things level headed; that twitter thread above shows where all the gas came from.

As an aside, I've seen some tweets mentioning that we're landing Reggie Bullock...now that's one move I'm not fond. But we'll if it's legit, wouldn't be the end of the world and probably fits with my main goal of no long term spending.

We really have no other choice. Hopefully this ends with us having a surprisingly good team in a few years and maybe even upsetting the KD run Nets in the playoffs (since that would be your typical NBA fukkery that the media would eat up.)

This management hasn't been around long to accomplish anything.

Marks been there since 2015
Perry/Mills late 2017

Team is on a similar trajectory as the Nets were in terms of building culture and youth and assets. It's too early to start saying they haven't done anything, this was there first chance to do anything of significance and a team in the same market 2 years ahead of the curve got it instead.

All the rumors and speculation was right. KD was going to the Knicks

Knicks roster is when it came down to it so he went to the NY team with better assets

I think Cook can play, to be honest... wouldn't be a bad pickup

 

[Columbo]

The very worst thing our front office can do is panic. That is what all these fools want us to do
