How is that a Shams L?

Begley already backed up the Shams report.

The Knicks are always secretive with their injuries.

As usual, a lazy, selfish chucker. Big for no reason since he's soft on the boards.

Ant man, Jaden, and that great supporting cast has to carry Randle every night as he holds the team back from reaching their full potential. They can't wait to dump him.

Knicks have a better record than the Wolves who were in the WCF last year. Sorry Wolves no trade backs!!
Why do people continues to bring up this subject that most are fully aware of since he joined the Knicks other than noobs.

And now, let's get started!

Begley is NOT a Knicks insider and never has been. As for Mitch, I will wait for the Knicks to give an update. I'm thinking he should be back one month from today. No later. I also think the Knicks will STILL go after a center and keep Mitch around. Just a matter of who and when. The sooner the better.

Agreed, being a JB fan. He has saved the Knicks from eternal oblivion with Randy.

He obviously bet on himself while we were betting on him. People say we should have offered him more years but, was he willing to do that? I don't know. The results seem more likely that he was waiting to get healthy and get paid. The timing sucked for us but, we are the team that revived his career. He got healthy here and jetted the first chance he had.

Maybe he didn't want to play for Thibs in the role Thibs was using him in. He said he wanted a bigger role and he wanted to win. He would be winning here but, apparently the role wasn't what he wanted to do. The HC didn't win him over enough to stay and take a chance getting hurt again playing too many minutes like he did the entire time he was here.

It really changed everything about this team. Now he's talking shyt about us? Fuq him. I hope he never wins anything.

You should blame OG for demanding the max and not follow Brunson's example to be able to keep the core. He single handedly cost this team to be able to offer the same offer as OKC had made to steal him away.

No. This is false. We offered him the most we could because we didn't have his full bird rights. We couldn't offer him one cent more. OKC came in and basically doubled what we offered and he took it and ran. It has nothing to do with anyone else getting paid. We offered 17.5 and that's the max we could offer. OKC offered him 30 and he ran outta here,

I get it. I'm just hating him for doing it TO US. :lol:
Mikal has been playing better of late for the most part. He's not a superstar but, the pick package we sent out makes it seem like he is. That could be a problem in the future.
