Berman: Only one way for Knicks to keep KP around

[3toheadmelo]

I bet it doesn’t.
Especially when he wears a Knick uniform.

We don’t even have max money.

Look for a trade and 30 wins.

We just lost to the damn Bulls and have 1 road win all year but these mofo’s think they are playoff ready? FOH.

Keep being mad at actual NBA players and coaches for wanting to win. Keep being mad at experienced professionals in the FO who want to keep their franchise player happy, build a culture, and nurture their young players by allowing the process to unfold organically.

Keep having absolutely no spirituality and no grasp of reality all at the same time.

Keep on keepin on. You're just another angry sports fanatic yelling at their TV while the world keeps turning.

Knicks will be fine ignoring the advice and demands of fans like this.

STOP FUQING INSULTING ME. I’M TIRED OF IT.

mfer still comes at me too... i don't know what his problem is anymore. he needs a damn hug

[TheGreenArrow]

We are closer to being a playoff team than we are a bottom 5 team

How can you say this when we have only 1 road win all year??

You wont feel the same way after January.

Nah, I'll feel the same.

Even with a more brutal schedule coming up, as long KP is healthy, our win total will still be somewhere in the 30's.

Like I said, that's closer to playoffs in the East than a top 5 pick.

I disagree, i dont think this team is reaching 30 wins. Not until they can prove that they can at least be a decent road team. Which we are not.

We shall see though.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

This season is win/win for me

If we're not going to tank/rebuild through the draft, then we need to go all-in this offseason into acquiring KP's sidekick. The two obvious names being Paul George and Demarcus Cousins. Personally, I prefer Cousins because he fits better next to KP as it would allow him the bully down low while KP can operate on the wing where he seems the most comfortable. Then the following off-season 2019, we can go after Kawhi Leonard or Klay Thompson. We can shed Noah's contract by then by adding picks to it.

Acquire them with what?

Bill. Cut that **** out. It's not only a personal attack but it's coming from a conversation that you weren't involved in prior and discussing somebody's personal matters you have no knowledge of. Last warning.

[taj2133]

have you guys looked at the standing lately we are in 8 place right now and look at the bottom teams behinds us are much worst then we are. We could make the playoffs by default that would be perfectly fine with scott perry, steve mills, jeff hornseck, and james dolan it would be better then the last 4 years off disappointment.

Its also wack, because he singled out Greenie FIRST from all the other posters who are saying the same thing.

Looking at our cap space, it's feasible we can open up one max slot this off-season by shedding Lee, Thomas, and Quinn. In 2019, it may get tougher but if we can shed Noah, Baker, and perhaps Mcdermott, we should have enough to sign another top-tier player.

KP won’t complain when him and Doncic dominate the NBA for the next decade

greenie puts up with a lot of sh*t at all times. no matter what you think about what she says, she sticks to talking about ball. and people respond often by talking about her.

our chances to get doncic are like less than 1% since he is def going #1 in the draft.

i don't know if he's DEF going #1 though. he has competition with bagley and ayton. bagley is killing it and ayton just had his best game 29 pts/18 boards . woj said gm's are still talking about ayton going #1 despite his motor problems.

doncic does seem guaranteed top 3 though.

[dakomish23]

The Philly model isn't the only way to rebuild.

The Warriors are proof of that.

GSW is an outlier

How many teams have won a championship in the last 30 years where none of their top 3 players was a top 5 pick?

Good luck replicating their model

well that would be stupid. Doncic is 18 yrs old avg 17-6-5 on good %'s in the clear cut second best league in the world. Marvin Bagley is doing his against st francis, boston college, and south dakota...bagley still a top 3 pick, but Doncic should be a lock for #1 in my opinion...its not close.

He’s the ideal scenario. I think we need at least one more piece to add to the core.

We have KP. So that wouldn't be us either.

Unless you are requiring that the team in question had to draft that player, then Kanter would qualify for us as well.

We just need other talented picks and smart decisions to fill it out.

i think it's close
ayton with a good motor is better than everyone in the draft
bagley is putting up historic numbers. who cares if it's against bad competition, no one has put up numbers like that ever

and plus when was the last time u seen a european player go #1? i don't think it happens.

You brought GSW up

Maybe I misunderstood and you meant to just say there’s more than one way to skin a cat
