Crowder really is such an unlikeable player. You can seriously tell his peers can’t stand him. I used to like him, before I knew the type of antics he pulled.

They hypnotized Rivers at halftime and told him he is playing the Jazz....

So Austin Rivers couldn't outplay Elfrid Payton over here on the Knicks?

We could've given him Elf's 10 minutes per game.

i'm leaning in the kawhi camp, you can keep everyone on the roster while adding him.

Kawhi isn't leaving LA to come to NYC

Because of "Load Management"(which did him no good) and weather? Miami aint looking so "hot" now. Whatever, we're not looking for dudes that value comfort over competition.

He would've been fine in the Payton role. He gets to start. If he plays well, he plays more minutes. If not DRose gets most his minutes. His ego would be ok if he was a starter.

Elfrid is just a lost cause at this point.

Maybe his uncle can pursuade him to come to NY.
Like it or not he is the best available if he opts out.
All others have to be trades.
In reality I doubt he would play for Thibs.

Lol Portland didn't put in a player to secure the rebound in the event of a miss which is what they want.

How dumb is that? It came down to that play!

Yeah I doubt it too but really this is a great situation for him...but he might already be satisfied with the rings he already has....

Jokic is the best player in this series and nobody is even close to him, Team Lillard looking for answers.

AusKnicksTape · Post #277 » by **AusKnicksTape** » Fri May 28, 2021 5:31 am

lol Kawhi is not coming to NY. :crazy:

Also he's already hit his pinnacle. He's got a couple years left of peak form max. 2 at absolute max.

Pointless. Better waiting for a free agent in their prime in a couple years. Donovan Mitchell would be great.

Lonzo
Spida
RJ
Randle
Robinson

Quickly
Burks
Draft Pick
Obi

Donovan Mitchell's extension hasn't even kicked in yet.
We are looking for options next season not 4 years later.
Kawhi was just rent a player with Raptors.
He might feel differently joining Knicks.

I agree that this would be a great situation for him. I just have a tough time envisioning him coming to the northeast. It's so cold, damp, and miserable here during the winter here. His family is in LA. He's from LA. I dunno.

Typical Melo. Too little, too late. Of course, you'd be riding an old horse like him.
