If we're allowed a meeting this time with KD that's a win in itself.

Fizdale can sell snake oil (pun intended).

Idiots.

Hornacek, tossing another one back in a bar somewhere: "tAnKinG iS bAd kArMa!!!!"

I’m not even mad cause I like knox’s Potential but I’m a little annoyed that we didn’t hear **** about the knicks moving up to get him.

I really do hope we have some overdue good karma.

I think moving up from 9 to 3 was a little out of reach for us unless we were willing to throw in KP

9 to 4 wasn't as bad of a move because the Grizzlies would be, theoretically, more inclined to trade down as they aren't starting a rebuild like the Hawks, and had a bad contract in Parsons we could've used as negative value. Hawks really wanted Trae, and we couldn't guarantee he'd be there at 9, so that's a dealbreaker
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.

Believe when I see it, imagine people are taking notice if Knox coming around, our supertank and flexibility. It'd be tough for any FA to scoff at NYK w KP, Knox, Ja/Zion, and rest of the group. Insert a KD in there and that's a long team that'll be tough as nails to defend

Those comments are not too kind.

Someone said the Cavs, Mavs, Suns are better spots than the Knicks.

This is the first time since I can remember were we had this good of a shot at the #1 pick. If we don't get Zion Im not going to freak out, if things remain as they are, we'll have a more than solid chance of nabbing a stud. Barret or Ja Morant would be damn nice conciliation prizes.

I swear this guy has that douchebag face that you just want to punch but turns out he is the nicest guy in the world... still want to smack that smirk.

If we had fox last year we’d probably still have won too many games to get Doncic and with both of them we definitely wouldn’t be in play for williamson right now because we’d easily make the playoffs in the east this season. But I get your point :lol:

Fox in NY would be too lit. Part of me hopes we trade for Markelle and he becomes the reclamation project that pays off the most. If Fiz could fix him we'd be set at PG for years. Guy was an absolute beast in college.

Damn, you know all those guys who love to predict that our players will suck compared to X player and then show up every time they have one bad game and spam these emojis :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ? I kinda know how they feel now.

DSJ will look very nice on bench in a few years.

I dont hate him for this, I hadthe same look on my face when we dropped down two spots - that turned out to be a blessing.. But I dislike him for the Timmy signing, but as a person he's alright.

I don't watch the Mavs so I had no idea he was struggling to play with the rookie

KD cares about "accountability", Fiz preaches "accountability", KD to NYK.

And Merry fcking Xmas you filthy animals.

Bill Walton is the greatest.

https://theathletic.com/729620/2018/12/24/meet-the-nikola-jokic-admiration-society-a-fraternity-of-former-nba-big-men-who-wont-hide-their-love-for-the-nuggets-mold-breaking-center/

When you see someone like a Nelson Mandela or a Martin Luther King or a Mahatma Gandhi, someone who sees the future before anyone else does, knows how to get to where they need to be, where they want to be, that is Nikola Jokic. Happiness begins when selfishness ends. In a game that has been taken over by incessant dribbling for yourself, Nikola Jokic is such a breath of fresh air. And it’s his imagination. Watching him play basketball is like watching Bob Dylan come up with a song.


When you watch Nikola Jokic play, you feel good about life. You feel good about the world. You believe that tomorrow is worth fighting for.

If tanking is your set goal you can achieve it even with the likes of KD, Brook and Harden as Thunder did or Embiid, Simmons and a lot of top picks as Sixers did
