Offseason Thread: The Waiting is the Hardest Part

[DowNY]

Kd is in Ny and his people posted I love Ny. Brooklyn is in NY too lol

Soho > Dumbo

[god shammgod]

is kd being in ny even news though ? i assume he's been here the whole time since he had surgery here. my man has a scooter for one foot. i doubt he's flying cross country a lot right now.

[K_ick_God]

Maybe KD's brother is the one organizing his meetings. If so that probably puts a bad taste in the Knicks' mouth

[Knicksrule2k4]

Is Al Harrington available for the Room MLE?

Free Candy!

So what, he got on the subway.

[GEOLINK]

Seriously, F*CK THE NETS.

Can they go back into f*cking obscurity with no draft picks and no future again? I miss those days.

Of course our timeline had to match theirs at the same exact point.

I'm getting this vibe from this board...so I"m confused

1.) we get KD - sh.itttttt Knicks gonna Knicks SMFHHHH

or

2.) Nets get KD - this board will get maddddddddd salty

You know it's a fair point but the Achilles is a big thing. He'd have to be part of a team where he was like 15-18 PPG and a senior member who hits some important shots. Like a more offensive Iguodala.

Maybe he comes back pretty good.

But get him or not get him ... I don't buy this stuff about "He's really tall and he can shoot" ... then why isn't Steve Novak still in the NBA? Shooting is lift, elusiveness and movement, quickness by microseconds. That's all affected by the Achilles. Let's be real.

According to the fairy tale authors on this board, KD being 7 feet tall means he will just jack shots over everyone regardless of the achilles.

The other thing I do not like at all about KD is he very publicly publicly made it clear he wants to GET PAID. I hate guys who do that. It's so lame. Hey fella, you're one of the biggest stars in the NBA, so it goes without saying you'll get paid so I'm don't need to hear about you feeling entitled to the most of the most after taking a little discount to play in GS. Fk y'all, you got your rings playing there and plenty of extra $$$ as a result of that success. So up yours with your need for green. We all need green you dumb MF.

I cannot stand this as well. What was the difference between the money if he resigned with OKC instead of taking the paycut to ring chase? It can't be that much. I know the contract was less. But he got rings, more exposure, and viewed as the best player in the world.

They think it's a respect thing. Like, "hey, next time, when I'm not ring chasing, I'm going to get what I'm worth. I can't have John Wall get paid more than me".

I can deal with a MF as long as his vanity is behind closed doors so all of the public juju gets funneled towards the success of his team. MJ has been called a miserable bastard by many people, but all I remember about him was him playing his butt off and winning, not talking about his wealth or lust for it. At the end of the day, the book on him was he was a winner, not the guy with the biggest shoe deal of all time. I already survived one of these me first guys in Melo and I'm now wary of how I'll respond to a guy like KD and I'd rather not find out.

MJ went through his "pay me" phase too. Pretty sure he publicly threatened to join the Knicks if the Bulls didn't pay him

Not news but seeing is believing and has some emotional content. KD could be in a wheelchair there and people would be impacted by KD roaming Manhattan.

If he was in Brooklyn that would have been quite a blow.

I kind of doubt too many people are yelling at him to join the Nets but who knows.

Which one of you was supposed to return this van to the rental agency?

[Chanel Bomber]

Both teams striking out would be so beautiful.

I honestly hope it goes haywire for them again for trying to steal an off-season from us.

It's like the little sister that doesn't get attention and has to wear makeup to attract n*ggas.

[El Poochio]

Multiple sources throughout the NBA believe Irving is leaning toward signing a four-year, $141 million deal with Brooklyn once free agency starts Sunday.

DSJ dunk over Uncle Drew needs to happen next slam dunk contest

[Knick4Real]

Or at least that's what most of you just spent the last dozen pages saying... AND FREE AGENCY HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET!!!

I can't wait to see how some of you have to take back some of your slanderous words and comments when free agency goes differently than the naysayers and doubters are predicting.

AT LEAST SAVE SOME OF THE "I Never Wanted Him Anyway" COMMENTS UNTIL AFTER AN ACTUAL DECISION IS ANNOUNCED!

Are you aware he ruptured his Achilles?

Yes, KEVIN DURANT ruptured his Achilles. However, there are other top free agents besides him -- yet posters are still predicting we get NOTHING, which, IMO, is kinda silly to do at this point.

No decision from ANY free agent has been announced. I suggest we at least wait for the real thing rather than spend hours reacting to rumors that sway with the wind.

And learn to pass like Larry Bird. Shoulda thought of that before.

Don't remember that, but you might be able to say those were negotiation tactics whereas KD was very forthcoming a year ago that he wasn't taking any more discounts and he wanted every penny he could get which was not about negotiation. It rubs me the wrong way.

He can move around the court on his scooter though

I already got what I wanted from this offseason. So, do your worst, interwebs, media clowns, and backpages. You can't hurt me.
