Offseason Thread: KD and KL???

[Sark]

Fiz has the same type of talent? Interesting.
They ended up on the same couch the Knicks were on by June though.

He did in Memphis. Still managed to alienate the whole team, and get himself fired.

Sounds like a reach. The team stunk after he left. The management chose 1 player over winning with Fiz. That same player got traded a year later to a championship team.

It's more of a reach to compare one coach that has made the playoffs 5 out of 6 years, and another that has a career record of 67-116.

“I’m a Knick fan. I grew up in NYC [Upper West Side’], but I’m a fan of whatever team KD’s on. My No. 1 team in New York City is the Giants … and St. John’s. I’m a big-time Met fan and I have a lot of respect for Brodie”

Meh - would rather just roll it over at that point... take on salary for a future pick...

He’s way off

All this optimism about our chances in FA, about Mitch, about our young players, about Fiz... I don't know how some of y'all keep doing this to yourselves...

Let's keep our expectations low and let the FO keep building around our young players. We're just not ready. Maybe in 3 or 4 years we will be, and that's alright.

100% this. I never thought we were getting KD or Kawhi, and didn't want Kyrie without KD or Kawhi. Butler and/or Kemba would have been nice in theory, but we were never even rumored to have a chance for either. So be it.

We have the beginnings of a decent young core now, not to mention have a bunch of picks and huge amounts of cap space moving forward. The only additional thing I want/expect from Knicks management this summer: don't **** it up. No panic signings, and no trades for other people's garbage (unless it's an expiring).

HE'S NOT A CENTER!

He is a Center.

he's an energy big and a really good one at that. You really think he can be a "starting" center in the NBA?

that was my point. He has limitations which wont let him start against bigger guys. Off the bench he's great where positions don't matter because there aren't many backup legit bigs so his lack of size is irrelevant.

If you have a KP at the 4, you can start him. Other than that type of player, he’s an elite 6th man.

kawhi would go from one of the most beloved now to most hated player if he joined the lakers. seriously. he could go anywhere else and it would be ok. go there and you're gonna be number one on the hit list.

We should just adopt a Universal Basic Salary for all players, so guys can play where they want

Man you still would have a young core after the signings plus all your damn picks

yes but KP is technically the 5 because he will be used for rebounding and rim protection. Two things harrell struggles in especially if we was tasked to defend and play against 7 footers all game

I would rather stab myself in the mother **** eye 17 times in a row than to listen to Sark post another comment about how miserable we are. WE GET IT. You hate the coach. Hate the roster. Hate the front office.

Sark you better chill..seriously why you gotta be so negative Sark- we are in a much better place...

[NevaGivinKnixUp]

All I know is I want my chips with the dip! Gimme Kawhi and KD baybeeee!

I'm down for no salary cap, especially when there are owners like MJ down there is Charlotte refusing to pay out.

I agree with Sark most of the time but this had me rolling.

Why 17 times

cause Sark is unwavering and relenting with his view

Montrez still a Center

[Fury]

What makes Montrez better than Randle?

[DowNY]

He did in Memphis. Still managed to alienate the whole team, and get himself fired.

Maybe we should hire Larry brown again

There's an ignore button for a reason.

MJ not scared to pay. You see how much he threw at Batum Marvin Zeller? YIKES. They’re just not good enough to go in lux tax for.
