I'm not saying they should be elitist, but yeah...... be elitist. Kemba on a 5 year deal for what? Playoffs? nah man if they miss out on Kyrie and KD. Go and get a 2 year deal bad deal and a Draft pick/Rookie. DSJ looking like he could be a starter good PG anyway.

Also DJ is definitely worth a second round pick maybe even a 1st. I just don't know who would do that deal......
I’m not dying on the kemba hill but he could be paired with someone in the future or Zion if he’s legit :yeshrug: all I’m saying is stop acting entitled there are options outt there for the future . Just let things play out :yeshrug: but I want KD KYrie just saying stop being so negative Brehs we got options

I’d love to keep DJ around as a mentor, plus he just seems like an all around good dude. What’s his contract looking like?
If we don’t trade him by deadline, and he wants to stay with us I would love to have him.

But the main targets are the two max contracts, and if DJ wants to sign and we have money left over a 2yr/15-20 mil contract would be good

Saw this on realgm:

You need to legitimately quantify this even further to fully grasp what happened.

Kyrie Irving and the NBA's superstars are going all-in

Rival executives were salivating over the possibility of the Knicks securing a commitment from Durant and another star this summer, only for them to then have to find a way to create the space necessary to actually sign them. Some thought the price for doing so could be up to as many as three future first-round picks, which fits right in line with the roughly $18 million to $20 million rate per pick the league has essentially come to when determining the value of a first-rounder to dump salary.

So the Knicks had a choice: use their young players and draft capital to create the space to pair two stars with Porzingis, or use Porzingis to create the space -- and add additional assets on top of it.

And, for all of The Garden's spin Thursday that this was about Porzingis declaring he wanted to leave New York, in reality, it was the opposite: The Knicks, rightly or wrongly, clearly were not convinced Porzingis was worth offering a max contract this summer. No player in NBA history has turned down a max contract offer coming off a rookie scale contract.

So the rest of the league thought this was the same ole Knicks doing whatever they could to satisfy a injured KP to stay. So they expected that they were going to get multiple picks for taking Hardaway and Lee from us.

:patrice:
The more I read about what/how this went down the better I feel. KP said he was going to introduce a Poison pill on top of all the fukkery too. I actually think a lot of teams were surprised not that we didn't offer them KP, but that they were preparing to rape us on deals this summer.
