I am fairly unbiased. Do Knicks fans feel like they have a better situation than Brooklyn because of the cap space or because of current talent on their team? Management? Coaching? I just want to know. I am being unbiased and upfront.

THey'll get 2 maxes very easily if they need them. Harrel and Lous contracts will be very easy to move.

None of the above, but NYK plays in the most famous arena in the world and that trumps all.

The Nets are an afterthought. It’s like Jersey saying they a strong tourism program, so folks should vacation there instead of NY. Definition of 2nd rate. It’s not their fault. It just is. If you were really unbiased, you wouldn’t have asked.

They can stretch Gallo and have it.

I think the stage is much bigger. The cap space is easily available. There are a few links to the Knicks and KD. We have a shot a top pick which could be Zion. More assets to use to build around KD/Kyrie.

They are not trolling. It’s a sincere conversation, just not about coming to the Knicks.

It's a long shot that this years sh*ttiness gets us Zion and you're ready to do it again for weak odds on another player? That's next level dedication.

It seems like a fraud. How is it you can't hear a single word they say despite Kyries animated movements? Not a single word can be heard from a guy who appears to be yamming away like dudes outside of a bodega. The commotion from the passerby's isn't even loud but these 2 guys in an arena hallways can't be heard? Not buying this.

Better than signing broke knees Kyrie and ending up with a treadmill team. And next years draft isn’t weak like this years fyi.

They’re at 59.6 if they waive the cap holds of the impending FAs

Lou Will has a 1.5 mil guarantee so adding that 6.5 back puts them at 66. They won’t even need to do that IMO. Someone will straight absorb him to be their 6th man and they probably get a small asset back. That would put them at 67.5.

They’re a “someone taking a flyer on Jerome Robinson”
move away.

I don't think they're coming anymore. Let's not fall for the bait. There's a secret team and we're the diversion

THey can stretch Gallo's salary as well. 2 max's is not an issue.

Yessir. But if you can keep him to pair with say, KD & Irving, why not? Or even use him as high end trade filler along with those assets / prospects for another
superstar?

If it’s not a 10 year max, they’re already there with just waiving Lou.

LAC has some options if ppl want to sign.
