I said it earlier and I'll say it again:

A whole lot of people DON'T want the KNICKS to succeed and are behind and in front of the scenes doing everything in their power to keep us down so they can continue the "Knicks are a joke" storyline. So, just prepare yourself to hear a bunch of BS stories for the next 3 weeks and don't let every tweet or hint scare you into believing what you know is schitt.

Keep up if you can. He made that tweet the same day the Nets make more cap space. And now Woj is talking about the nets being a more than viable option for KD teaming up with Kyrie. Would not be surprised if they wanted to join the Nets all along.

Literally not what’s said at all fam. Go to the previous page. Everything you talking is misquoted.

Woj said that if KD wants to play with Kyrie, the Nets are more than a viable option (his opinion). Then he says Clippers are also interested in Durant but by himself (they don’t care for Kyrie).

BIG difference from what’s claimed to be said.

I watched the clip. What this all means to me is that the Nets really in the running for them. And like I been saying for a while, I would not be surprised if KD joins the Clippers. People thought I was crazy when I said that a while ago.

What I’m saying is that Woj is not breaking any news here in this clip today.
His opinion is that the Nets are a viable option for KD/Kyrie.
In my opinion, the Knicks are more viable.

He also said Clippers will target KD....well duh. We knew they were. Warriors are in it too. Lebron & the Lakers will call too. Hell, I’m sure Mark Cuban will try to at least get a call from Rich.

I hear you. I just never thought KD would ever join the Nets but this looks like a real possibility now. I’m kinda shocked lol. Free agency gonna be crazy.

Holy crap. I'm quoting you too DowNY cause we all in this together. 3toheadmelo, mad spiiinn

First of all, Woj says that the Nets HOPE that Kyrie can be like a Pied Piper for FAs. In other words, they don't have any guarantees on anyone else after Kyrie. And even Kyrie himself isn't a lock, just a team he's suddenly now interested in.

He sais the Nets are basically now an option for the Durant/Kyrie combo. Not that they're favored. He also barely mentions the Clippers as another spot, and like Dow says, it's a given.

Woj is pushing the Nets here as an option, not as a guarantee. I even think there's a strong possibility that Kyrie spurns the Nets. Seems like smoke.

Why is it assumed rich posting “keep up if you can” means that Durant is going to the nets.

Couldnt that mean. The nets made the trade and he’s taking a shot at them, like taunting the nets saying
Keep up if you can
In reference to Knicks landing Durant and New York is about to be the biggest thing

How different is this than LeBron going to LA. There where such overwhelming information about LA with other stuff scattered in especially at the end. But if you look at all the information objectively over the whole period leading up to the final decision it was overwhelmingly in favor of LA.

Now there can be last minute change of hearts and minds for sure. But I think the groundwork has been heavily laid in favor of NYK. Anyone else is more up in the air but KD to NYK is very high percentage IMO. And we'll probably hear more once the series is over.

So be it then. Tank again next season, and keep building through the draft.

Spree2Houston · Post #2040 » by **Spree2Houston** » Fri Jun 7, 2019 6:09 pm

lol KD's dad is a lifelong Knick Fan. One of his closest friends, Royal Ivey, is an assistant coach on the Knicks. KD's more closer to him than to his own brother. Durant is also the Godfather of Ivey's daughter. Kevin Durant got Royal Ivey that job.I won't even start with the other connections. KD is coming to the Knicks lol. They've been prepping for his arrival for a year. I was never sure about Irving ever since the KP trade. If we knew Irving was coming, then why did we target a PG in all of the KP trades? It made no sense to trade for a PG then sign Irving in the off-season. Irving also grew up as a NET fan so it makes sense that he would be interested in going there.

Maybe the plan has always been pairing Durant with another wing like Butler or trading for AD. Kyrie was never in the Knicks' plan.
