Yeah Kanter is a cuck now


It would feel dirty and I would always feel that way if we win because LeBron came here. I don't like him. I don't care how great he is. I get how crazy that can sound but, I just feel that way. It would always be reported with that slant too. That he saved us. Fuq that.

I can't knock people who would be ok with it but, with all the trash he's talked about not coming here and our players etc....I just don't like it. Look at Kanter slurping his knob now. Pathetic.

I would rather build from the ground up and add a younger FA Star to add to the mix. Even if it takes longer.


I feel exactly the same way :nod:

James also told the Plain Dealer: “I’m happy for Fiz, obviously. He gets an opportunity to showcase what he’s about. So, we’ll see what happens. Obviously, I don’t speak for the Knicks at all, but I’m happy for Fiz.”

Lebron energy is always wonky about NYC. No way in hell dude is coming here. Ioncare if Noah is stretched/traded, KOQ/Kanter opt out, Lee is traded for an expiring, etc.

Dude ain't feelin NYK.

Dolan would give LeBron a key to his bank account if he would ever sign here. Might even give him ownership stake.

Actually, it's funny how LeBron has had his problems with Gilbert in Cleveland. James Dolan would absolutely bend over for LeBron.

Y'all thought Carmelo was bad. ****, we haven't seen the worse of it.

To me KP's future is not so bright that you don't deal him for Kawhi and LeBron, essentially. Yeah it's yet another abandonment of growth in favor of a short-term plan, but so what - Kawhi is not old and your long-term plan is only as good as the guys you are banking on.

KP is going to be good, Spurs can make him great, but I don't have that much confidence in that happening here.

Also then you use some other assets - the pick, something else, to add a third piece. That team won't be guaranteed to be ahead of the 6ers or Boston, far from it, but it does put you in the running for ECF at least. Kawhi healthy is better than anybody Bron has ever played with besides Wade for a year or so and maybe Kyrie for one playoff run.

Unload some other assets for a guy LIKE Beal if possible. Then you have an instant team.

I'd like to keep Frank with Bron if that happened. Frank could really thrive next to him I think. Probably need at least another shooter and some size but I'd go with Kyle on that squad.

Kevin Love is garbage. The dude's game is pathetically embarrassing and so is JR of course. Just a footnote but it is relevant to the overall calculation here.

If Bron ain't interested, then we keep doing what we're doing and hope for the best.

Lebron has accomplished all he need to accomplish. It's no such thing as ruining his legacy. He's not scared of New York. The media is everywhere, radio is everywhere, fans are everywhere. This crap about oh such and such can't handle New York is bull. Bottom line is players avoid New York because its an overrated franchise, with horrible management, and the players get traded away and bashed and no one says **** about the organization. The franchise doesn't put players in a position to succeed so you only waste your career when you come here

Bron does make some putdown comments about the Knicks, and some of that is deserved. He definitely seems focused on disliking the Knicks. I don't know. Who knows. But I do think there is a thinner line between love and hate lots of times.

Probably has more to do with our 2010 approach with Walsh looking crazy in the wheelchair, Phils comments towards his crew, Dolan handling of Oakley, and Knicks mishandling of Carmelo. He always showed NY the place love, but his hate seems solely towards the Knicks organization.

Lol at people supporting the signings of likes of Jack Sessions but rejecting LeBron

If anything he will accelerate the rebuild as it forces you to clear the deadweight in cap

If Lebron were to come to NY that would mean bye bye pick and KP.

He can't. At least not to lure him to come as a player.

Agree that he can't mess up his legacy. Winning with the Knicks would be a pretty great final act.

Not sure about him being totally comfortable with the media. He is definitely a bit thin skinned but he's figured out how to contain that. He's also so great that the media wouldn't crap on him much.

Why does this thread still live?

Those last 70 seconds, Randle in a nut shell.

Awful 2 for 1 3PT attempt when we are up 2
Doesn’t close out on Sabonis --> open 3
Takes another side step off balance 3

We got sucked into the Randle vortex where all good feelings go to die.

The still image looks cringe-worthy enough.

I cannot bring myself to press the play button.

I would pay this man out of my own wallet just to opt out.


The blue dot is there to cover up Bron's tiny weiner in his mouth. You are better of not playing it.
