Maxey needs to run for the hills. That team is cooked Embiitch and PG-1 Knee are gonna be in and out of the lineup the rest of their contracts.

Embiid and PG will be expendable if they draft Flagg.

If they get Flagg.... they will be useless and albatross deals they won't be able to move for value. Just like they are now. Nothing will change in that regard. Hoping NOP gets Flagg. Keep him out of the East.

Yeah, I want him out of the East as well. It will be a bit difficult since every team in the EC below the Heat is tanking.

If the Pacers beat OKC it is going to force the Knicks to win 1 of the games that they have against Cleveland, Boston and Detroit. Indiana has nearly the same type of remaining schedule that we do.

NO landing Flagg would be a disaster for the NBA. NO killed the Zion hype almost as soon as they got the first pick in 2019, and the same happened to AD years prior.

That franchise is an absolute graveyard.

Brooklyn winning the lottery would be a dream scenario for the NBA. Flagg would be a cash cow there.

Do you really think I give two turds about the league? I care about what is best for the Knicks. Cooper Flagg to Brooklyn? No. Cooper Flagg to any of our rivals is an absolute no. Cooper Flagg to a terrible franchise in the West? Yes please. Not Utah either! Then we get him when he asks out and only wants the Knicks. Which would be phenomenal for the league! Forward thinking!

Have the Nets ever drafted a franchise player? Coleman, K-Mart and Lopez do not quaIify. I doubt the NBA would even allow such a generational talent to go to a second rate organization.

I hope Detroit somehow faces them. If they stay in the first seed , Detroit can see them second round if they advance.

I even think Cleveland is more likely to choke in the first round than we are.

Agreed bro, we legit cannot move from this seeding, the bucks are probably the only team we can beat right now in that seed
If Cleveland faces Orlando in the first round, oh what a doozy

Brook Lopez

Lopez has had a very solid career at his position, but I could never consider him a franchise player. Didn't the Nets give up on him when he was at the prime of his career?

just watched Lakers - Grizzlies.
LAL getting Reeves outside the draft is looking like one of the best transactions this decade. dude is a baller and already a top 3 options on a contender.
I see MEM going out in 5 games in the first round.

LaMelo back in the lottery and surgeons office, tough times if you're a fan of bum PGs who post empty stats.

Times are tough for sure but I can't imagine how hard it would be to brush my teeth or lay my head on my pillow knowing I actively root for a front running dork who shoots like he is flinging poop off his hands in a pacers jersey. That has to be rough as hell.

I wouldn't know, the only PG I root for is number 11. I however understand that Haliburton is the antitheses to LaMelo, and the Ball kid represents everything wrong with the NBA and society at large. The lesser of two evils, and a direct slap in the face to you and Greenie.
