Tell me Edwards is better or the big guy Wiseman, ok.

But LaMelo would be the best point guard we’ve had since before most of you/us were fans of this team.
Stop acting like we do good basketball here.
Lonzo is balling. Remember back in the days like two weeks ago when everyone was kinda coming around to the idea of Lonzo? Now he’s looking like a cornerstone.

His brother is light years ahead of him as an attacker.

The kinks will be worked out. His dad, I ain’t even gonna get into that hypocrisy but his dad is having no effect on either other than making them pretty good kids.

The kid would set the garden on fire. Fuq your analytics. And TMZ. Fuq YouTube. Fuq all of what makes you deny what your eyes see.

He’d be pure excitement in MSG. On OUR side.
He’s a MAGIC JOHNSON LEVEL PASSER.
Knox and Mitch, do you know what he does for them??
Dudes wanting to come play here would be a real thing and no not cuz of Johnny Mac and Leslie Jones.

We still trying to find a damn Oakley tho.

Y’all cut that damn basketball snobbiness out.

Ooooooooo get ready boys


This statement GUARANTEES the Knicks won't draft LaMelo, if they have the chance.

Y’all realize Mark who’s on tv, Disney...
Has never spoken to any of the noise?

As a Blackman I’m not being a sucker to the narrative.
The dudes that played for him loved him. As a man and coach.

Kinda apples and oranges but even with Kyrie.
Do people know/remember what a sports bad guy looked and sounded and acted like? And what bad meant?
This kid gets covered like he’s Hitler.

He does himself no favors sure but they treat him like he’s Lawrence Taylor off the court.

I kinda hate that. But whatever.

So the only talent in the nba=tanked for picks?

Nah man. That’s lazy. There’s no MJ and Scottie, Shaq and Kobe, Miami Cheat, GS dynasty.

So that way of thinking is archaic. Toronto. Bkn last year.
The Clippers were good last year. Utah. New Miami. The list goes on. Houston built without landing a top draft picks in forever. There are ways to assemble a winner.
It ain’t cookie cut, especially not now.

We fans. These guys are paid to know how to do this without banking on the infinitesimal chance of a 19 year old physical genius dropping in their lap every other generation and calling that a strategy.

You WISH they do. I'd like them to draft LaMelo as well (depending on where they pick).

But he's like a hot brick to them now. LaVar reminded them EXACTLY why they were going to shy away anyway.

That's been the Knicks company line for the past 2 decades, and it's never worked.

The difference between the Knicks and those other teams is they had talent, and we don't. So if you can figure out a way to get talented players, then you should apply for GM of the Knicks.
