Where did I suggest tampering and trying to "convince Luka" at this very moment?
I simply suggested we plan ahead, continue to develop youth and be frugal with our cap spendings in the hopes to land Luka or another player who is actually great in the somewhat distant future.
Nothing I wrote was wrong or incoherent. Actually, it's the obvious thing to do, even if the end result isn't Luka or Zion in a Knicks jersey. But you dummies will bitch and moan about RJ's efficiency, Obi's ball handling and having pick #11 in a lackluster draft, beg the team to trade it all for Donovan Mitchell, and then blame Dolan 3 years from now when it's another colossal failure.
Man, some of you come off like the most sexually frustrated dweebs who do nothing but sit around being depressed about the Knicks. The mere mention of anything positive happening for this team sends y'all into a tailspin of pessimism and angst, where you all piggy back off each other's quips until everyone is arguing amongst themselves again lmao. It's remarkable.
I stand by this post. Luka is the next generational talent, similar to the way LeBron took over the league. We are in the biggest market, with the biggest fan base and the brightest lights. Luka thrives in the big moments. He's the guy. If 4 years from now, we have cap space and a really good roster with a quality 2nd and 3rd fiddle, it's nowhere near out of the question. Just look at that Mavs team. It's unreal how far he's taken them already, and I have no idea how they're going to continually improve the team around him. It's very possible he's frustrated enough to leave for greener pastures when his next contract is up.
