Hyped? What are you 90?

I'm sorry would you like me to used "lit" or "turnt" instead?

I'm saying where in my comment was I acting hyped? There was literally no excitement in that post unless you're 90 and get excited over nothing.

I wish but as long as Sam Presti is around there's always a way to get rid of a contract without having to give up good players as long as you have draft picks. Graham would be an absolute great get for us though. Maybe we can send them something in the deal to help make that happen but just to take on Batum and/or Rozier i don't think we could get him.

I am not complaining at all. The only thing that can make it better is us being used as a dumping ground for picks. #Trash4Picks

Meanwhile I’m worried for these kids and how it effects them

I'm not worried. Sure losing lots of games doesn't sound fun, but it's better than watching mediocre scrubs take minutes away from them on the rotation.

At least they can get opportunities to develop and if we really need a "veteran", that's what those end-of-the-bench guys are for once all of the other FAs have been signed.

we haven't ruined the next 2-4 years with stupid signings and we've set ourselves up for the best possible position in a loaded draft next year and posters have the audacity to be bent. unbelievable

It not best scenario at all though Melo it’s the only scenario right now and it’s fcked up

It’s a pretty damn good scenario all things considered. Past his prime injury prone Gordon Hayward just got 120m. What would be your alternative? This years FA class blows. This years draft was meh (well, TBD for Toppin). Next years FA and draft classes are loaded. We have multiple picks and loads of cash. Why spend stupidly this year? Leon isn’t sleeping. He’s biding his time.

I still can’t believe I’m going to watch another Knicks season as the losses pile up and wondering how good RJ and Mitch could be if they had an actual point guard

DO we have an updated list of the teams that are tanking?

We should take on Zeller or Batum for picks.

Not going to lie, I wanted FVV and Harris but once I seen these contacts, I did a complete 180. Happy we haven’t made any of these moves.

Draft, Free Agency, Trades. We can always make a trade. We still need to improve.

Randle for Batum and a pick you say?

Post #1039 » by **Deeeez Knicks** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:19 pm

if we can get a lightly protected or unprotected frp i would even do Bullock for Batum + pick. Put our Presti hat on and get the best pick possible!

Guano · Post #1040 » by **Guano** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 7:20 pm

and we might have to stop referring to Gordan Haywood as "racist haircut" for signing with the Hornets, eh

he passed up playing for ol' Hickory High - didn't see that happening at all
