Remember when Westbrook ball hogged like crazy and shot the ball 43 times in game 6 last year when they lost to Utah.... I’ll pass

Westbrook makes his money off of his athleticism. Not his shooting or playmaking. His age and time will lead to his decline physically. Trading for him could’ve a mistake. Westbrook is made to win now not three or four seasons from. Now when our young team develops . If he had a 3 ball it would be worth going for

He might be the only one that gets through Westbrook.

Older players tend to be stuck in their ways. Pops already working on Demars game... I know y’all hate hearing this. Look at what Jason Kidd did with Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson back in the day. We should help facilitate a trade sending russel Westbrook to New Orleans to pick up Lonzo. His passing, size and defense alone makes him worth it. This team is going to need a facilitator the way RJ tunnels on offense... passing is contagious Lonzo can set the tone for us. Make our young team an exciting one

Keep Lavar away from this organization before Dolan befriends him for life.

Think of Lavar as a Checks and balances type tool for Dolan’s nonsense . Say what you want but Lavar spoke out on Magic Johnson and the Lakers when they had problems. He caught a lot of heat and ire fromthe media. Only to be proven right when magic stepped down. Lavar Shutting up dolan alone would be worth bringing Lonzo into town

I dont see OKC moving Westbrook to Miami. They own the Heat 21 unprotected and 23 protected 1st now. Would have to be a great trade.

We need to build something up. And I don’t mean this trash bag attempt at competing now with mediocre bench guys.

Play the kids. Live with the results.
Asset acquisition via salary dumps / selling off pieces.

Our time will come if we follow this path.

We have yet to do this.

That 2023 protected pick becomes unprotected in 2026. Maybe they can get it unprotected in 2023 :dontknow:

The knicks got to start winning and actually go to the playoffs and i think knicks have a good chance to go to the playoffs this coming year. The east top 3 seeds this year will be sixers, bucks, pacers but 4-8 is up for grabs. We already know the raptors will not make the playoffs they got 3 vets won't be motviated to go to the playoffs and they all make over 20 million dollars gasol, ibaka, and lowry.

Saying you think that the "Knicks have a good chance to go to the playoffs" and "we already know the raptors will not make the playoffs" is just dumb. makes us knicks fans look stupid. dont you dare post stuff like that in the general board.

Raptors will be just fine. Ujiri knows what he's doing. They played great without Kawhi. They just have to add depth to their bench and replace Green. Both are very achievable. Most expect Siakam to improve. Lowry is a great regular season player.

Lowry making 34 million dollars and got his ring he not going get big contract next summer he isn't going to give two chits next year. Marc Gasol making 25 million got his ring not going to care about next season not going make that same amount of money next season. Also gasol doesn;t like when team is going to be noncompetitive team look what happened to grizzles his last couple years he play like chit. Serge Ibaka making 21 million dollars got his ring is going to play like dog chit there no reason for him or that raptors team to play well at all. They also lost danny green they won't make the playoffs there going to rebuild.

Return to New York Knicks
