healthy AD is easily top 5. discussed as 1.


kd
kawhi
giannis
lebron

he's not better than those 4. at 5 it becomes more of a contest. curry, harden, davis. i don't think i would take davis.


I know Curry isn’t the all around player those guys are but he’s more impactful than maybe all of those players (closest is Kawhi)

He is a top 5 asset since he is 26 and just entering his prime years. He does it all. No glaring holes in his game.


that i can agree with. some of the guys better than him are older.

technically davis is better than both curry and harden but they both impact winning more if you ask me. i'd like to see the stats on late game scoring for ad. i don't think he has that takeover ability that they do. it's just easier for guards and wings to do that than bigs.

healthy AD is only in a class with KD, imo. he has surpassed lebron. kawhi is close but not quite (and i am a massive kawhi fan). and giannis is getting there.

AD is a complete terror and it's been easy to forget with how the past season has gone. he and KD are the only true dominant, unstoppable players in the game. giannis will get there, but not yet.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

NOt to quibble but it looks like it’ll be 30 days

We draft him, sign his rookie deal, then after 30 days trade him

if AD comes to the knicks - with or without KD - he will be in the final running for mvp next year

There was absolutely no shot AD was ever going to even consider staying

Said in another thread that Kyrie to Nets is happening. Also have a strong source. Hilarious option, but whatever.

Maybe this will precipitate a Knicks trade for Anthony Davis soon.

If we have money to pursue Morris, then that means we may be expecting to trade for AD into cap space, and not signing a third MAX player.

So Morris is either a backup in case we don't get Kyrie, or Pills knows Kyrie isn't coming.

I think Morris is a backup in case we cant land AD and Rosier is a backup in case we cant land Kyrie. This goes back to those initial reports weeks ago about us having interest in them two
