it became cool to be a net last february, but they went ahead and traded the guy that carried them to the playoffs.

in summary, durant is butthurt and has a fragile mind. new york media/social media will eat him alive.


Just so you know, you come off much more butthurt than anyone here.

Yeah right you've lost 50 games every year five years in a row. KD said why your team is bad and no free agents want to play for them and of course you don't listen.
Will this year make it 6 years in a row?



Last 5 years Nets have averaged 29 wins a season. That includes last year of course. Knicks have averaged 25 wins per season over that same time. Point is, both teams have been very bad, save for last year's Nets team. Pretty sure the Nets have lost more games over the past 10 years as well. That's his point. This idea the Nets have been this cool, up and coming team is a little bit of fiction. They had a very nice year last year and landed two FA's, but for KD to say it was always the Nets is very hard to believe for many reasons.

I think I must be old because basing your professional career on being cool is kinda sad to me. Kids these days!

I think it's a good sign for the Knicks. Nets went from a Billy King laughing stock to a nice destination in a very short time period. Knicks continue developing the young players and improve they can become "cool" really quickly

Yup. As you saw with the Nets, all it takes is one .500 season where you get crushed in the first round to right the ship. Knicks are gonna be just fine with the young players and flexibility they have.

But the talking heads said him and Kyrie to the Knicks was as good as done and that Deandre Jordan would stay with them.

I actually like how he interacts back. Not usually what he says but just that he interacts back and forth. Dude just jumps right in the convos like no big deal.

Your team has been better than .500 twice in the past 10 years the Nets three times. Right now Brooklyn is the it team I understand if you feel a way the superstars have chosen the better team in the city.

After Drafting Zion as well. Instead ended up with Morris bouncing balls off heads.

The media/casual fans thinkng Zion to the Knicks was a done deal reminds me of 1997 when the same kind of people figured Tim Duncan was headed to the Celtics.

It's like they never took a math class or missed the day when they went over probabilities.

Nets win total since 2009-10: 300

Knicks win total since 2009-10: 324

Both teams have been horrible this decade. That's literally the only point that's being made. People seem to forget so easily just how terrible the Nets have been this decade. blueNorange was trying to make this point that the narrative of the Nets being cool to the younger generation just doesn't make sense. This isn't the say the Knicks are cool, but if you use any sort of logic in this situation you'll come to the conclusion that KD went to the Nets because Kyrie went there. It doesn't take a lot to figure that out. And guess, what, great for the Nets! They can do a good job and the Knicks can also, but the narrative from KD rings hollow if you just do the slightest bit of analysis.

That and he's wrong about the younger generation since Rich Paul today said that AD was focused only on the Lakers and Knicks.

The image of Dolan is the issue, but considering he doesn't do anything with the team anymore we are rolling with Perry. If Dolan was active we would have been trying to trade 10 picks & Mitch Robinson and Fizdales wife for AD so we can treadmill it again. (See Melo trade). Would be nice if Dolan never opened his mouth again though, even as I am happy he doesn't manage the team anymore. We are making much better decisions with him out of it.

Oh so you're not counting my point about them losing 50 games 5 years in a row..

Not only have the knicks been bad, the knicks have been a laughing stock and a joke of a franchise. Nets too, but most people didnt care to laugh at us like they do the knicks, which is KDs point. You guys have a lot of work to do to remove that stench of being a joke. Notice KD said “now the nets”. He never acted like the nets were always a better team.
