I wouldnt sign JJ to that deal but he was really good last year.

Lol this is your breaking point ? Man come the **** on

The f*cked up thing is that we still have Courtney Lee here for 3 more years. He's our starting SG. So Timmay is going to come off the bench?

Wouldn't you deal him first and then get Timmay? Doesn't make sense to tie up all this money on SGs when Baker and Frank are our only PGs. And Baker is not really a PG, and we don't even know if Frank can even play PG in the NBA yet.

I agree 100% but we have seen way way worse

this. right now he has a lack of burst and he is 6'5 so naturally he does get stripped by quicker PG's. we are putting a teenage kid in a position to fail. we need him to share the back-court with someone that can cover his weaknesses ball-handling and slashing, until he matures more physically.

Tim is 3 years younger than Holiday.

Watch us attach a draft pick to trade this dude in two years.

People are killing this move, but Hardaway is a kid working hard and rally improving his game. I wouldn't be surprised if he a late bloomer that reaches all star potential

The point that affects our development the most...we have now made it clear that Frank won't be playing off the ball at all which may be his best primary role and then being the secondary ball handler. Should've just gotten Hill.

Melo is dealt (some kind of trade that brings back harkless/picks)

and Lee is traded for picks.

then I might be able to see the THjr signing because he can score and asking KP to do the entire scoring load with WHG is a bit much. So I would at least understand that.

I just hate giving that to one dimensional players like timmy.

Well Lee and Melo will be moved. My fandom hinges on what the deals look like. If they are trash I am out for a while. Cant handle this crap anymore

They reallt no though. Did any of you even watch the Hawks last year? Timmy willed them to some good games and a few wins. Yall still stuck in the past.

You're so right. Knicks fans should buy Prozac by bulk. They hated the KP draft. They hated Phil. They laughed at Willy. At Baker. Some called Dotson a rapist. They hated picking Ntilikina. Now they hate that Phil is gone. They even hate themselves.

In any other context, it's probably unnecessary due to this.

This legit may be the night I decide to make it my life goal to buy the Knicks. I'm not kidding. I'm only 31. I think I can get there in 20 years.

I'm going for executive right now. I'm going to grad school for this. Lets make it happen.

In a positive light, THJ grew a lot as a player last year. Still offensively minded, but we'd have him during prime of career.

Nice man. Go for it. Rutgers?

How? He f*cking played 17 minutes a game in the regular season! He actually had a worse year than the 2 years he played for us. Someone said he played 33mpg in the playoffs. That just makes me think of one name ... Jerome James.

He's not even anywhere close to what we need. We have Lee and Dotson looks like a legit steal. On top of that, Doncic and Porter Jr are both wings in next year's draft ... which we were SUPPOSED to be tanking for. :banghead:

Baker isn't really even a real PG.

Our SG rotation is potentially: Lee/Hardaway/Baker/Ntikilina.

Our PG rotation: Nobody :lol:

Or imagine Chasson Randle as our PG bringing up the ball :eek2:

anything other than this would be illogical. If you want a sub 25 year old team. Then move these guys...

No!
He's a DOWNGRADE!

Holiday played defense and passed

Hardaway just stands there waiting to get a dish so he can jack up a three

God i hope hes improved significantly
