I always give Simmons props for being a real game changer and inspiration as a writer...but his NY hate and Boston bias is part of his personality and I revel in the moments where he's mad about something like this. I'm petty like that.
never thought my fandom would be tested but this shyt is just all bad
the dude didnt wanna be here fine but this is the deal we choose?
i thought with perry and co in charge the team wouldn't make drastic decisions like these
whole year has been about patience, now our future is based on fantasies

When put that way, I'm less angsty but this move is a huge gamble and requires the Knicks to get the number 1 pick

Dog...it got rid of Tim and Lee.
It opened up a 2nd max slot.
What other trade for Porzingis gets rid of our 2 most unmovable contracts and frees up space for 2019?
The trade in theory comes down to trading Porzingis for some combo of KD and Kyrie/Kawhi + having our top 5 pick with future picks to come. That's the intention behind it. That's what no other team had the combination of offering. We went from pairing a potential question mark in KP with 1 superstar to being able to sign 2 established superstars.
It's a homerun swing.
You've been one of the most consistent and level-headed Knick brehs in here. How you don't see where there is an actual benefit to this trade is baffling to me. The benefit is a seat at the table come July 1st, no matter how intangible it may be. It created an opportunity we didn't have before.

I don't think there's no benefit. I just think the benefits could've been maximized with a different team. But that's obviously just speculation on my part
@bravaDo
I respect you trying to talk @JMurder off the ledge.
The thing is, he is worried that if we strike out in summer 2019...we will become the ultimate & permanent laughing stock of the sports world. It'll be an embarrassment big enough for a serious setback in regards to how serious(or not so) free agents & sports analysts take us.
We absolutely need to sign a superstar this year. Everything indicated that 2019-20 was the year the rebuild would start to pay off because of the incoming talent & much more developed youth.
It's disheartening to consider the prospect that we are going to have to be content with another 3-4 years of being the worst team in the league.
Again, I'm much more optimistic now but those are still good reasons to be scared.

My bad, let me say one more thing about KP & our options. In order to have a satisfactory trade, the Knicks would have to satisfy all of these requirements:

- The other team in the trade would be confident enough to think KP will be able to be healthy and produce.
- KP would be willing to make public his intent to sign with that team long term.
- The other team would have to be confident that KP isn't blowing smoke up their ass and dip.
- We had to get something in return that allowed us to be in a lucrative position.

I'm a Knicks fan I know better than to be optimistic about anything 
Nothing good is coming from this trade. Pessimistic Iron man from here on out
We have our hopes on everything going right this offseason. Lol
Watch us get the #4 pick again and Steve Mills burying his head on live television for everyone to see. Karma is real and the Ewing trade is what did us in. We need to do right by him to lift this curse. Let’s sacrifice a goat and make curry goat in honor of Ewing and hire him as head coach before the draft lottery.

I legit was 
yesterday when I heard the news KP was traded. As news came in that he wanted to be gone and was posting shots on social media , I came to realize even tho he was our Unicorn 
he had to be shipped. Was it the best deal on the table idk, but it did leave us with flexibility cap wise and we can still roll with the tank. All in all, we are really banking on big FA coming here and our track record is not good on luring superstars. It's up to the Front Office cuz if we don't get anybody on that superstar level, we lost on that gamble

This is the snake-iest statement I've seen from a player in 2018-19. Wow.
I'd rather Kemba.
I'm going to be forced to support who we have on our roster...shyt is going to be so fukking weird to root for DSJ but I'm going to do it. And rooting for KD will be...awkward for me.
The fact that execs are scared should also give us hope that they feel like we’re a competent franchise. If we were a joke like the media pretends we still are, the execs would be confused. “What do they know that we don’t” tells me they at least somewhat respect the acumen of the front office.

I honestly haven't looked but besides Dallas' 1 year deals I honestly can't think of any teams that would offer a comparable package with this idea in mind.
But my main thing was being concerned that you didn't even see the potential long-term benefits. Sounds like we can at least agree there's potential for something major here - any and everything else from there is speculation and hope till July on our part.

I hear that. But in my mind, you don't make a move like this without having an ace in the hole. This is a big dikk move, word to my nikka @KnickstapeCity
