yeah, as I sit down with this trade, we overpaid. leon rose was his agent. aaron mintz is his agent now who is randles agent. he's best buds with brunson.
big time nepo move and keeping in the house.
kinda gross.
he's a solid player but we're caught in this birds rights trap...because we gave up a first for him...so we're gonna commit to paying him anywhere from 16-20 million cause we like paying for mid.
financially it'll make no sense we keep rj, and we'd be hard pressed to pay iq if he's even here. theres gonna be some consolidation over the summer...cause financially this is just mediocrity we're signing up for.
well maybe not mediocrity...but I dont see us really competing with the big dogs of the east in a 7 game series
he's a good player and helps us immediately...to what level? maybe a second round team. I dont see much beyond that

Good post, this would’ve been a much better move if we already had that superstar player on the squad

And I don’t want to commit to paying hart that much, especially not over IQ

This.

Knicks are still one all-star level player away.

Getting Hart really did nothing for them :coffee: I would rather try to make it work with Cam.

I hate to admit it but the Knicks should have traded for Mitchell when they had the chance.
There’s a nice gap between Hart and Reddish.

It’s no making it work with Reddish he’s mid.

I think what this team has learned is that we need to use some assets to secure the team before we get the star. If the suns had 3 extra protected firsts, you better believe Brooklyn would have asked for them too. But instead they got literally every pick they could. I really like where we are and have one or two more picks to get another piece before going all in with RJ and contracts.

I just hope it’s gonna be someone better than Paul George, who’s still my prediction for the next star available. My long money is on Luka… gotta let Kyrie do his thing…

I like where we are.

I understand the doubt because of the use of the protected first.

I'm okay with losing it.

Slowly but surely, this team is building a nice little foundation.

All of the moves we've made have accomplished one very important thing...

We are no longer the laughing stock of the city, let alone the league.

NOW, we can move towards using the large number of picks and excess of players to try to get a star.

Simmons, Bridges, O’Neale, Crowder are all in ongoing discussions. Crowder could go to the Bucks, O’Neale to Cleveland, Bridges to Memphis. Bridges is up to 3 firsts if moved.

I know I’m in the miniority here but I still don’t want to trade Barrett. I still believe there’s something there.
Not on this roster. I believe we can't have him and Julius on the same roster. It can't work. I believed the same with Carmelo and Stat back in the day.

"Nets Culture" :mjlol:



KD just never wanted to openly admit him and Ky signed there cause they were too soft to handle the weight of being stars on the REAL NYC team :wow:
That's exactly it. Fukk KD, Kyrie and the Nets.

Nets fans did all of that clowning and they have NOTHING to show for it. They can wallow in their sorrow.
