You loved RJ
Hated RJ
now like him again

lets just hope good things happen to the knicks in the future. I mean it doesn't even have to be KD and KL...just don't make stupid moves that would hamper this team in the future. But lets get big Fiz into those meetings and start to sweet talk them.

I never loved RJ :lol:

But yeah I am just hoping for the best. The worst the Knicks can do is sign Mudiay/Rozier. As long as we don’t do that, we should be fine


he think about it like this if KD and KL come that means they have no replacement for DSJ right now :o

good for you

Frank also becomes more valuable as a defender with this team. Win win for all sides :P

Kawhi should understand Durant's plight the most since he just went through missing a chunk of time himself. Not saying that would be the reason, but we should be able to relate quite a bit.

Frank
RJ
Kawhi
KD
Mitch

Now that would be a tough NY defense type of team. DSJ-Dotson-Knox-Kornet-DJ makes an interesting bench.

I think KD and the knicks are trying to get Kawhi to come

I don't think there is a chance KD is a clipper...that makes zero sense for him and his brand.


This was exactly what I was thinking when I saw that the clippers were one of the 4 teams he's giving a meeting to, but then again, I didn't see him being a Warrior either. So who tf knows. There's also the fact that the Clippers are the 2nd rate franchise in that town. Besically, the Nets of LA. But again, who tf knows what KD is thinking. :dontknow:

You could turn it around... and say KD + KL putting down LBJ and the Lakers, and turning LA to Clipper city.

If they want to go to LA then I am down to help them out by taking Gallo's contract for some assets. I think Gallo would be a good fit at PF for our team and would love to have him back.

It's taken, what, 7 years? But the Clippers just aren't spoken about as a joke franchise.

But they were synonymous with a joke team by themselves, then the Knicks joined them to pair up, then the Clips found respectability and it's never gone back.

Eventually the Knicks "joke franchise" tag can go away. But it'll take longer than it actually takes to not be a joke. At least a few extra years.

I'd do that too but for 2 first round picks... in like 3 and 5 years.

It would. But if we're talking legacy, bring championships to NY probably beats that.

They'd still be playing in the Lakers' arena.

I honestly think a team of DSJ/Frank-RJ-Kawhi-Knox-Mitch could make the playoffs in the east. And maybe have KD come back towards the end of the year.

It took removing Donald Sterling as franchisee, and getting Steve Ballmer for them.

I thought the turn was earlier, when they fired Baylor as GM - meaning, the turn had started. But Sterling getting the boot was the final piece.
