Knicks treat their players (ex and current) like dirt and didn't secure any top FA meetings. Ask...Ewing, Oakley, Kanter, KP, Melo, D.Jordan, etc. Ever wonder why none of their legends work for them? Things may change if Dolan sells.
Net fans do not care if the Knicks have more fans. Nets are simply the better organization top to bottom and all that matters.
This post is unbelievably misinformed (forgetting the KD "always Nets" thing which reeks of BS for a number of reasons).
You do realize that arguably the best Knick of all time has been broadcasting Knick games for decades, right? That Ewing is so hated by the team that he just represented them in the lottery. Allan Houston has worked for the team since 2008. John Starks and Larry Johnson also officially work for the team. You're just clearly making stuff up to fit your agenda.
Listing De'Andre Jordan as an ex Knick who got treated like dirt? You were serious when you put his name in there? The only reason he went to the Nets was because they found 10m for him. He had nothing but good things to say about the team on his way out. Listing Melo when they gave him a massive contract with a no trade is also pretty laughable.
Again, tout the Nets, they've done well, but now you're just blatantly making things up about the Knicks. The Nets are talked about by Nets fans here as if they are the golden franchise of the NBA, despite their best player having a career threatening injury, another FA signing busted for PEDs, and one of their best young players arrested for possible domestic violence.
- Our “best player” is ahead of schedule by 3 months...pretty good for a career threatening injury.
- Chandler was suspended for taking a product in May...before he even was a free agent. The PED results came out
after he signed.
- Kurucs will be disciplined but his arrest has no barring on our team beyond his own mistakes. It probably means we sign Melo or something
We’ve dealt with D’angelo being cited for weed before free agency. It comes with the territory of New York but none of that is changing the hardworking, team first and unselfish culture instilled with Dinwiddie, LeVert, Harris, Allen, Pinson.
That’s an agenda post, FYI.
Wait, are you saying MY post is an agenda post, when the person I was responding to mentioned Knicks treated badly and De'andre Jordan in the same sentence? Saying none of their legends work for them when I named four off the bat?
Saying Kurucs will be disciplined but his arrest won't have any barring on his team when every single Nets fan here touts Kurucs as a building block? Minimizing the severity of the accusations? It means signing Melo who has not been a good fit anywhere for the past 4-5 years? That Melo? Good luck with that.
Also, show me where KD is three months ahead of schedule, whatever that means. Once again a Net fan here absolutely minimizes the potential effect such an injury has.
Talking about culture and saying Russell's bust for weed "comes with the territory of New York." It's you and other Nets fans who are making things up or minimizing facts to fit your own agenda. It's clear as day. The Nets is the team right now with the drama surrounding it, good and bad, not the Knicks.
THAT is an agenda post if I've ever seen one.
be real. You want the worse from this Achilles injury cause he’s a net. If he was wearing Blue and orange you’d be preaching something different like you was before free agency and I can go pull all of your posts being hopeful for KD even after his injury
