Ill fight to the death for og.

Been trying to figure out a way to get KG banned since he went down the dark path. He has been razing the quality of the board with his egregious slandering of the greatest knick of all time.

Towards the end of RJs tenure he truly became one of the most unbearable Knicks to watch on a night in/night out basis that I can remember. The day he got traded for OG was like an indescribable high yet I somehow recall it like the deal happened yesterday.

His lack of effort on defense was abhorrent.

Not to mention his lack of overall talent was just so disappointing from a 3rd overral pick.

Speaking of the dusty robot, Toronto is gonna trade him. They tried to dump him in new orleans :lol:
The Raptors, thanks to the aforementioned pressure, are generally expected to be active on this summer's trade market, which could establish RJ Barrett’s $27 million salary as a key element to any forthcoming salary cap math. Sources say Barrett was indeed discussed with New Orleans during the Raptors' trade conversations that ultimately landed Ingram from the Pelicans for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk and one future first- and second-round pick. Between Barrett and veteran center Jakob Poeltl this summer, Toronto could get to nearly $50 million in outgoing salary relatively easily.

Aight a more serious pitch for Build a Franchise. We got an opening for Houston.

Guys on his roster: Cade Cunningham on a nice rookie contract extension for 3 more years, Brandon Ingram kinda overpaid but he's expiring in a year and you can re-sign him for much cheaper probably, JJJ as a key free agent, Ausar Thompson and Kel'el Ware on their rookie contracts, GG Jackson and Jaylen Wells on some nice 2nd rounder contracts.

Next steps: Houston has one late 1st and a few 2nd rounders. Also has a pivotal FA where he has decide what to do with JJJ. He has his 1st round picks going forward, if you want to rebuild. Andre Drummond, his backup center, is also expiring.

It's really fun setting lineups, making trades, getting to know people around the league, scouting players. Franchise is in a good place and you got Cade as an upcoming stud.

Return to New York Knicks
