The Sixers are 1.5 games behind you and aren't even trying, I don't understand how this just doesn't register for yall, they didn't go out and sign a washed center for max contract in the offseason to compete now.
The Noel trade was terrible, but they are insulated from a move like that because of all the moves they've made that got them extra picks. They have the right to swap picks with the Kings this year, they also get the Lakers pick if it falls outside the top 3, if it doesn't then they get their unprotected 2018 pick, then they get the Kings 2019 unprotected pick. These teams do not have similar situations at all
the Sixers can cut Randle because they have a PG already, and they could draft or sign another.
I'm coming to the conclusion a lot of you just don't have any understanding of other teams in the league outside of the Knicks.
Young players are given slack, guys who are 28-32 and not making the playoffs while their fans proclaim that they are better than - Kawhi Leonard are going to get the gas face. There is a Melo vs Kawhi Leonard thread where a lot of #Knickstape lookin extra funny now.
