That just seems a little silly to me. That can't be a reason lol


It does probably suck, having to drive an hour there an an hour back. KP used to have a house near the practice facility.

I bet Dolan owns 100 buildings that could come down and replaced with a new facility too.

It does all seem so simple. Dolan is really out of touch, not unlike Trump. It comes from growing up with that much wealth.

Edit - Don't forget, the sports part of the business is being spun off, so all of this could fade away pretty quickly. That might be a high level way to fix all of these issues.

Said it before, we need a new practice facility. New location and updated


I have a suggestion. Let's use this one, since we own it.

As of right now, all the headlines they are getting is Knicks V. Nets. Unless they make headlines on their own, I don't see it. They still have to get the Knicks in there somewhere to get views/clicks.

Just look at the Clippers and Lakers. While Lakers sucked, Clippers had PC3, Blake Griffen, and DeAndre Jordan. They made the playoffs consistently. Were both LA teams and even shared the same arena. Yet, that city was still primarily Lakers.

Nets made the Finals....back to back, and STILL we were the talk of the town.

That’s mind blowing to me.

KD, you done **** up.


I didn't know we could quote someone from another thread that was locked? How did you do that lol

I was in the process of replying to you and then the thread got closed so I just copied :lol:

Barclays was originally going to be a much bigger and better project, but then the financing fell through when the market crashed in the Great Recession. So they scaled it down. Eerily similar to KD. He was going to go to the Knicks/MSG but then he tore his Achilles, Cray Cray Kyrie talked him into BK, and they scaled down the plan and settled for something ... a little less ambitious and grand.

Sad!

Maybe the Knicks made Dudley the 1-1 offer instead.

I wonder honestly if the Lakers taking him now is a sign of how confident they are. Otherwise why do it? It certainly won't close the deal. If anything it might turn Kawhi off.

I don't see how Duds is still getting paychecks. That's farfetched.

Jared Dudley retirement body @ss still got our name in his mouth. Suck a diq Bitch. You don’t know chit about New York culture. Not sure where you from but here we don’t diq ride. Lebron could team with D Wade in his prime in Brooklyn and it will still be knicks town. Stupid ass.

Nets will likely struggle with attendance again this year. There will be an initial bump and then it will level off again once Kyrie misses his usual 15-20 games.

I live in Bk and the Nets are not a hot attraction. They might get some band wagon fans but that’s it. Maybe actual Net fans would start coming out from Jersey. But they not taking knicks fans.
