Knicks need to stay patient. I can see things falling apart for the Lakers this next season and AD opting to leave. We don't need to give up crazy assets like the Clippers did for Westbrook.

At least the Clips will still have a 1st round pick every other year.

You were doing so well and then you added Steph and Klay. I love the Kawhi and PG combo and think they're gonna be great players who play both sides of the ball but Steph and Klay already have that something special thing and it's been working for years.

My opinion of Curry has diminished since his recent finals showing. I also factored in possible injury rust/decay for Klay.

That doesn't even come close cap wise. We would have to wait until Dec 15th to trade enough salary to make it work unless we went with a bunch of the guys on the team from last season and RJ in the deal. Then it can be sooner.

If I'm maxing a guy both offense AND defense need to be elite (near elite). Westbrook is that kind of player and oh yeah he rebounds and passes too.

Hes the best 'possibly' available player right now. Even better than Harden who doesn't play defense.

How long you think he'll last, his raw athleticism is what makes him elite. He's on the other side of 30


LeBron is 35. I'd say 4 years.

Maybe, history says it's more likely he'll end up like CP3/Melo/Amare rather than Bron.

Don't forget that Steph was also shooting/playing with that hurt finger which kinda gets in the way of shooting. Curry is a beast.

100 percent. Would not take Russ for free. This is an absolute Isiah-era Knicks move. Just embrace the rebuild.


Yep this exactly like signing Steve Francis or trading for Eddie curry lmao
