Welp, apparently God hates the Knicks.

If it wasn't already apparent

No way he comes here if he leaves but wonder if you can get in Klays ear now... pairing Kawhi and Klay would be nice too...add in AD and that’s not a bad trio of young 2 way guys.

KD to the Knicks is over.

His career is done and if it's not, he's a year away from being not the player he was.

At this point, I'm not 100% sure the AD trade happens either. Unless the Knicks have some magical insight into the mind of Kawhi.
Why would AD want to join some depleted bum squad? He could stay in NO for that.

I suspect will be seeing a tweet any day now that states: "AD has narrowed down his choices of team to The Lakers"

I'm not wild about either player. Not totally. Not the greatest draft to be #3 in, other than a team has it's main choice among a lot of guys who are sort of like each other, talent wise.

Sign D’Angelo Russell & Julius Randle
Trade Frank & Dotson for Picks

D’Angelo Russell — Dennis Smith Jr.
R.J. Barrett — Allonzo Trier
Kevin Knox — ???????
Julius Randle
Mitchell Robinson — Luke Kornet

I’d rather Russell over Kemba since the age disparity is huge. Kid still has growing to do and pretty near elite.

Kevin Knox is going to take the next step. And RJ Barrett will also be a scoring threat right away. That’s a playoff team.

Pray and pray hard that RJ becomes that star we’ve been waiting for.

Yeah, his FG% was only off 70% from his lifetime average.

Kobe was also 3 years older and dealing with a Knee issue as well, so it's not exactly apples to apples, so that could be a thing in Durants favor.

these are not negatives.


some of us knicks fans want the knicks to do well; we don't just root for a certain player.

lol he wants the knicks to trade 2 of the 3 players who actually play defense, AND start knox?


i'd rather watch a 7th grade basketball than that lineup.

I been saying it from jump but come the fuq on. Feels like dude was a Knick already. Surround the kids with some expensive role players and call it a day unless Kawhi is on the table,

treammill team is the Knicks in the early 2010’s

That’s a young squad. And we would still have tons of picks. Randle and Russell are borderline stars, RJ will be a star, Knox will be a threat, and Mitch gonna be Mitch. I’d like it *shrugs*
