There’s no way they’re getting rid of him. Plus what’s the point they’re not gonna win anything next year with Tatum out? I doubt the new owners want to pay two coaches.

Dude I get trading KP, Jaylen, Jrue etc. Trading Tatum makes no sense

We are not trading Tatum!!!! Don’t even know what his injury is. Ugh please please please let it be something else!!

After next year when it's brown and white carrying the team you'll be singing a different tune.

Next year it’s a tanking year. I think softzingis is not getting enough heat. This guy’s so soft and illness he has. Does he have a respiratory illness?

If Mazzulla gets fired I doubt he gets another HC job for a long long time.

Being down 0-2 when you have homecourt advantage was just too much to overcome.

Thank you for G1, 2024 Finals, but I'm ready to move on from KP.

Oh man, this might be it for Al + Tatum.

You can trade Brown. I just don’t get your logic but whatever

What exactly does a 29 year old Tatum coming off a missed year for injury do for you?

Brown is gone within the year. This ain't about brown.

Man, the game's whatever. There was a chance, but the Knicks made shot after shot in the 4th quarter, kudos to them.

i just hope Jayson Tatum's ok. Now and going forward.

It was a miracle we got as much as we did out of him to be honest.

Perpetually injured guy who we got cheap and simply cannot survive the rigours of an NBA season.

Correct.

What does Tatum coming off major injury do for you? Especially when you've unload brown, KP, Hauser and Horford from the roster.

They’re not gonna trade tatum. The guy’s injured. 29 is not old. We don’t the injury but let’s keep in mind Durant came back strong and he’s much older.

He is in his prime, give him a superstar player to play with like Giannis and we are contenders again.

JT gave it all he had - 42-8-4-4-2 & great D.
First team All NBA game.

Derrick had a great first half & then Brunson scored about 50 on him in Q3 (he is a midget sized Paul Pierce & ELITE AS HELL - a pure scorer & clutch as hell).
Otherwise JT had no help.
And Brown was pure & utter garbage & sabotaged the team. Same serious flaws for 9 years.

G-d Bless Jayson.
Looks like a very serious injury.
Not going out on an orthopedic limb as an endocrinologist.
Pray for a season ending severe ankle sprain & not an Achilles.

There will be countless posts about how to redo the team.
And I am not participating except to say that EVERYONE + moron Joe except for JT & probably Derrick is for sale - assuming Jayson can even play next season. Brown must be gone especially.

You guys take care & have a nice summer.

Ten years away from being a contender again.

Hope Brad is good/lucky with the lottery next year.

White and JT are best buds but White will get a decent haul in a trade

1 1/2 years?? A 35-year-old Kobe Bryant tore his achilles April 12th and returned in 8 months, on December 6th.

Should have taken even more time off. He didn’t look good to me.

It's not about his health. It's about the timeline.

Love to know what this team looks like with Tatum in two years and 4 of your current core pieces are gone.
