off the rails...he is the single worst contract in the game.

Even you know that's not true. Westbrook for all his faults still actually produces and hasn't had a losing season in like 10 years. Wall and WIggins are way worse.

I'm not saying it's a good deal but this is your MO when the Knicks are rumored to do something you don't like. You go off the rails

it is worse becaues it does exactly that...makes us just good enough to never get a pick worth a damn and never good enough to win anything important.

Wiggins would still potentially land us Cade

this mf'er is 32. 3.2. 3!2! No one changes who they are at that age unless it is because their body breaks down. At which point Brodie will be completely useless

Yeah, and he's already better than the Wilpons.

He's actually already done something - fired the entire front office and installed the very respected, knowledgeable and successful Sandy Alderson back as President. They will fill out that front office with smart, qualified baseball people and ownership will let them do their job.

As opposed to the old Mets/current Knicks which have a history of hiring ownership sycophants, friends and relatives over more qualified individuals and have ownership groups that consistently ruin anything remotely good.

We have a whole new front office as well though shouldn’t they get the same benefit of the doubt?

Leon Rose is James Dolan’s friend, and we still have the same owner. So it’s not really the same thing.

But they have been given the benefit of the doubt.

If they make stupid ass moves like Russ or whoever then that benefit is gone.

I mean idk Russ is still one of the best players in the league if we keep all our assets then I’m indifferent on it but we give up anything less than randle then I’ll agree with you 100%

Westbrook would help the Knicks get to the playoffs in the weaker East.....the 7th seed.... only to get swept by the Nets.

KD and Kyrie will dance on the Knicks logo and an irate Dolan throws everyone out of the building, bans all fans forever which won't be a problem because the pandemic kept them all out of MSG anyway and they don't want to be fans anyhow so MSG will become the destination arena for tourists to watch their hometown team play.

They literally have made no moves.

Oh.... you mean they have no track history in NBA front offices at all?

What has this front office since they’ve been hired that makes them amazing?

Doesn’t seem like a difficult question.

CAA delivered us this guy.

this screams the marbury type trade.

everyone was like damn we got marbury for nothing but it turned out to be horrible for us because you have to take on his contract.

I am torn between Hawks, Utah, Denver or Pelicans.

And then the monstars show up at msg again and drain the Knicks of their talent and Dolan will try to find a way to sign them all to max deals

I'd take a prime Marbury over Russ any day of the week :-?

Just a year ago there was a team who decided to trade cp3 plus two first round picks and two pick swaps for Westbrook. Getting him for free because he demanded a trade doesn’t seem nearly as bad in comparison to that
