Me too. The bulls are clearly the better team

Good. You two can go root for the Bulls. I'm sure their bandwagon isn't full yet.

I could give two f*cks about the Mavs either.

if we had chicago's roster people would still be calling it a treadmill since they're locked into it until 2024 or 2025, have traded multiple first round picks and aren't going to win the championship

im kidding. just disappointing to see a team like the Bulls be much better than us. they upgraded their talent while the Knicks went for mediocrity.

The Knicks are trying/tried to split the difference between competing at some kind of level now, while retaining the ability to make a big upgrade.

The Bulls said f*ck it and decided to upgrade to a team they'll have for the next 4 years.

Knicks could have done that and I'm sure by the 70 game mark we'd hear nothing but that they are riding a shiny treadmill.
I'm not sold the Knicks idea will work out. In fact, since it's the Knicks, probably not.

Also helps that the Bulls had a prototypical wing to build around while the Knicks have Wandle and Stiff Robot.

I like the Caruso pick up too.

I've defended resigning Rose/Burks/Noel and the plan they seem to be following, but now I'm starting to wonder if this is just more Scott Perry bullsh*t, modified by Aller's skills and Leon's desire to make a big splash.

F*ck a Scott Perry. I wish they fired this freckle faced f*ck, but they extended him.

here’s the thing though, do we really have the ability to make a big upgrade? if I’m a GM, I don’t exactly see a package of Kemba, Fournier, Burks and trash first round picks being enticing.

I’d even argue that the Bulls can trade Lonzo/Derozan for a true super star with the way they’re playing. I think they’re in a much better position than us. They’re winning and have players living up to their contracts that can be used as trade bait for a real difference maker.

This has been covered a lot. Their value is next year as expiring deals.
But, the Knicks would still have to offer players that generate some interest. I'm not sure if Obi, IQ, Grimes do that (if you figure the Knicks are keeping Randle and RJ). I'm not sure the Knicks ability to offer up 3 picks that fall in in the mid 20's helps. Or the 3,492 2nd rounders. But this seems to be the plan.
Maybe they know something via WWW. Other than it's a good thing to sell Dolan on hope for for a few years and get paid big $$$

We’re basically banking on Wes and Leon to have some secret connections cause our trade assets are ass

The Knicks role players are useful and not untradeable, ESPECIALLY when they'll be expiring. Which, unfortunately is in 1.5 seasons - next season's deadline. But I've always had some doubts that a package of mediocre youth combined with mediocre 1st round picks and a Danny Ainge\Sam Presti sized bundle of 2nd rounders nets anything decent.

There are a lot of Ball & Lavine fans here I thought?

They’re good. We’re good. We’ll see who’s better by year end.

The Roster Construction Villain strikes again!

they’re not untradeable I just have my doubts of it getting a true difference maker. i guess we’ll see

I thought this team was good. It is most certainly not good.

It might be good after a theoretical trade that happens most likely halfway through next season. We shall see.

As I stated to melo, I'm not sure how mediocre youth, mediocre 1st round picks in the mid 20's, and 9,318 2nd rounders nets anyone great, but hey, maybe WWW has some intel on someone.

I feel that Scott Perry has been emboldened by having Brock Aller as a henchman.

My hope is a good team needs depth so we give them Burks & Noel.

We won’t look so mediocre over time. That’s my guess. It’s a long NBA season. I’m not a fan of a lot of the moves they made this summer but I don’t expect the team to be bad. Maybe I’m wrong

Yup. Mine too.
