Since someone brought up Duren, I think we should re-litigate the 2022 draft night

We originally had the 11th pick, we traded it for 3 future 1sts, all conditional, two of which haven't transferred, the other was the 27th pick in 2023. So far, not great especially because the other 2 firsts are Washington and Detroit picks, both heavily protected

We then traded the pick which ended up 27th in 2023 (became Nick Smith Jr., too early to judge anyone here) along with 3 future 2nds which became the 39th, 41st, and 53rd picks for the 13th pick

So far, we sent out the 11th pick, a future 39th, 41st, and 53rd pick for 13 and two future heavily protected 1sts

We then traded pick 13 for Milwaukee's 2025 pick (protected 1-4) and to get rid of 1 year, 9 million dollars of Kemba's salary

So to sum up, we traded the 11th pick, a future 39th, 41st, and 53rd pick, and a 1 year, 9 million dollar contract for Detroit and Washington's 1sts top 10 protected for at least 3 more years and Milwaukee's 2025 first, top 4 protected (and if it is in the top 4, it goes to Nola and we get nothing)

It shouldn't be Jalen Duren we're talking about, we also missed out on Jalen Williams, Mark Williams, AJ Griffin, and Tari Eason to name a few. All would be key rotation guys

And before we get into the "we had to trade a 1st to get rid of Kemba's salary to sign Brunson, Leon is elite!" Leon is the one who gave Kemba that contract in the first place, same with Noel, Rose, Burks, Fournier, Hart, and DiVincenzo.

I'm sure Harden won't cause any drama and act like a professional! :roll:

and it was very obvious kemba was finished before we got him. the guaranteed 2nd year on the deal was ridiculous.

it’s like binge watching a show on netflix, finishing it and now stuck trying to find the meaning of life since there’s nothing left to watch

Just checked -- LaMello 11 for 44 in 3 games. His BEST game was 3 for 12. And LaVine, aside from one good game vs Det (19/33) is 13 for 47. 40% on the year even with the Detroit game. Thank G*d we got JB.

And "very good player" Towns is 20 for 54. Averaging 15 on 37% FG shooting. Are all these guys sucking because they want to be traded to the Knicks? Or do they just plain suck? :dontknow:

You gotta remember what it was like in those dark days with no pg. At the time it was Kemba or more Elfrid Payton. We were desperate. DESPERATE!!!

I didn't like the two year deals for Noel Rose Burks. Fournier was a guy I wanted to trade for when it only cost a 2nd, Knicks said no, then gave him that ridiculous deal SMH. Kemba I'll take the L on. He was horrific

I knew it... they will try to package whatever draft capital to get an All-Star level player. I could see Lavine or DeRozen being available if sh.it hits the fan.

I'm afraid that it will be enough for Embiid to stay where he's at. Maxey is rapidly rising, Embiid is a top 10 player and you acquire an All Star. Why wouldn't he want to stay?

Those dark days lasted two decades! We had like 22 different versions of trash at PG in that span at least!! Brunson is God like in comparison!

I would go OG if I were them. They can find random 3PT bombers.
