What's Boston's rationale for being so hot & heavy for KP and not Kuzma. Gives them the option to deal Brown and in the meantime, they can try to revolutionize it with 3 forward lineup. Why not who cares about height, especially since KP has taken a big step back on D still right (didn't see him much at all)? Brown is big and plays defense. Could get away with it. Kuz just better than KP.

People say Randle a C. Then JB could play some, mix in RWIII. Kuz I think is really a better weapon than KP.

Kuzma opted out and is supposedly looking for $30MM/year on his new deal. They are in a trial period with KP to see if it works out before commuting long term

Knicks front office hasn’t been horrible. But it’s annoying that teams that are clearly better than us still value the draft more than us. Knicks back to back years don’t use a 1st round pick. That **** should be fireable in itself. Wasted a 1st on josh hart and traded a lottery pick for a bunch of fake non conveying picks.

Hindsight is that last time this team had a lottery pick they blew it on this fat **** leon roses little kids client and wasted it.

Everyone complaining about the trade last year where we gave up a lottery pick for future firsts… you’re dumb. If we don’t do that trade we don’t have the space to sign Brunson, which was a franchise altering move. Let me know when Jalen Duren or the kid we traded to OKC become franchise altering players….

If we don't overpay for mediocre vets, we have the cap space to sign Brunson and don't need to use that pick to clear cap space.

Problem is the front office who did that. Put themselves in the position of having to trade their own pick cause they handed out awful contracts that everyone knew was fuggin dumb .

It’s not like they were savvy and navigated out of someone else’s mistakes and bad contracts and capitalized by getting Brunson.
They did that sh*t to themselves
