FWIW guys, Rudolph is only doing his job, it seems crappy to do it like this with the timing and all to us, but it's hard to really hate him knowing it's his job.... still...

I think the Clips would much rather have CP3 than Dwight tho. To be perfectly honest. More of a competitor, leader, perfect player to pair with Blake/Jordan. If they can get both, obv they would....but I def think CP3 is before Dwight on their list. He would be if I had their lineup too.

I just want to know what the hell Otis and the rest of the organization are planning to do. Are we going to go forward with Dwight or trade him? Are we going to fire Stan? Are we going to try to make a move for a big name player?

So many questions that NEED to be answered.

I seriously think that takes the clippers out of the running. You never know what that Minny pick looks like (especially if rubio blows up and a slim kevin love).

That 13 yr old kid its me (31) and I would love to see that guy saying something like that to my face I can give him my adress right now if he want just told him this ... If he is a knick fan why the F he writes a magic article in this bad times like this.

I obviously don't agree with those personal attacks, but he's making matters worse by responding to them.

I say we go kick his ass, and on the way back, swing by Weisbrod's and finally finish the job there too. Who's with me?
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Man, I just read the last 10 pages of this thread...I've never seen more doom and gloom in one thread. There's a lot of overreaction over no action.

Also, I can't hate on Rudolph for writing the truth...I do find the timing questionable coming from a Knicks fan
