He always does that. The Knicks never do any wrong. Phil didn't now Perry doesn't.

Have a feeling Knicks dangle one of the 2nds in a KOQ or Lee deal to extract a 1st or young player
they are not getting a first for kyle by adding a 2nd...there were like 10 teams interested in willy and this was the best they could do. the market for kyle is not gonna be as good. he is what he is and you have to pay him.

Re: WHG traded to hornets for O'Bryant and two 2nds
it's one thing to accommodate willy's request, but after yesterday, you could have just played him instead. you'd figure things would have changed, but this team is led by people from ownership on down, who aren't very smart.
he's 22 years old. he might not turn into anything, but what are you risking in not trading him exactly?

Welp, I go away for a few hours and now this.
Good. This team and fanbase doesn't deserve homegrown players. I like it. Trade Frank next.

Re: WHG traded to hornets for O'Bryant and two 2nds
jeez reading these posts makes it seem like we traded away patrick ewing
do you guys realize how devoid of talent we are that we have a 40 page thread on WHG. Not saying he's not going to turn into a potentially nice player but jeez, we really have 0 talent on this team it's **** sad

I'm fine with that. I think current version of Kyle is way more useful as a long term backup big than WHG will ever be even if he does have some annoying weaknesses...

Re: WHG traded to hornets for O'Bryant and two 2nds
I'm sure I'll find this, but I thought it fairly impossible the Knicks would f*ck this up, but they did. They got their two 2nd round picks recovered from Willie and some scrub ass PF. Yay. I'm sure he didn't get playing time on Cha because they are so loaded at the PF position though.

OKC fans are willing to give us T-ferg if we just take singler and abrines....so if we take back a semi suck deal...we can get an asset...its what we should do.

I have never seen you criticize the organization ever. This isn't an Internet tough guy fight I've never been that way. I in a way let you go on your optimism because it's your trademark but you're being silly right now. Per 36 last year of 15 and 13. There's no upside to this deal at all. Perry himself called Willy part of the future, now he's a scrub? Jesus man.

The fuq do homegrown players matter if they aren't good?

Shump = not good
Landry Fields = not good
WHG = mediocre at best
Frank = tbd
etc. etc.
