Most casual nba fans don’t understand the severity of that but we will all find out
It wasn’t severe enough for your fan base to continue to claim KD will sign there up until June 30th. Should we bump the posts? I still have them saved for the laughs. Just like Laker fans last summer.
This is the funny part. They act like they weren't 100% sure that they were getting both KD and Kyrie until July came around and everything blew up in their faces. Then all of a sudden dudes do a complete 360 talking about "we never wanted them anyway".
These are the same dudes who got triggered when I had that avatar with Kevin Durant in a Knicks jersey and reported me

!! funny af
Funnier part is that we knew with as much certainty as we could Kyrie was coming well before July 1, and many of assumed KD. Netsdaily was a hot bed of insider scoops including one dude who was 100% right for several weeks leading up that Kyrie was a lock and KD probable, since you never know with him. His narrative fit what happened 100% and he was even banned multiple times, until the mod at ND unbanned him since he was hearing the same.
Tides have turned. The city will probably always be a Knicks town when it come to fan support/#'s but the clear #1 team in town when it comes to free agency and respect from top to bottom is Brooklyn. That sounds so much grander than it is, but it's only because the other team in NY is the Knicks. But in a market like NY that is huge. Clippers and Lakers are pretty much on even ground when it comes to free agency, but I think this year proved the Nets have the edge in NY pretty clearly.
I made the switch around 2000 from Knicks to Nets and oddly enough I jumped ship at the right time as the team has been toxic from ownership to the court ever since. How they treated Ewing was the beginning of the end for me, and how Dolan treated another Knick legend Oakley I think influenced players and those around the league recently. There is no respect for their players. Ask Melo, Ewing, Oakley, KP, etc. I didn't need a free Kidd jersey to switch, but I would have taken one gladly. Just saying, Knick fans. You'd still be repping a NY team, with players you wished you had in June, a better team on the court, better coaching staff and performance team and perhaps most importantly better ownership, even though Tsai is new he has to better than Dolan and already owns multiple sports teams.
