this is why you just can't look at the advanced stats and think that tells the story

We knew he didn’t have sources because he’s the one that floated the Randle for Conley to the masses. Now we know his basketball opinion in a whole should not be taken seriously.

If he is trying to say the team was poorly constructed, Payton was one of those poorly contructed reasons Bc he can’t shoot you dumb ass. Stop talking. Frank is a better shooter.

the only thing that can slightly ease the pain is randle gone

It’s more about Payton returning means that the same issues that the Knicks had on offense last season will reoccur this season. And since most people (not me) watched almost an entire season of it, they don’t want to have to rewatch it again.

Do you think Thibs is a competent coach? If the answer is yes, than same players don't mean same system. We signed him for next to nothing when guys are getting 20-30 mil on multi year contracts to be backups. Worst case is we suck again. WHICH IS WHAT YOU LOSERS WANT ANYWAY!!!!!! :lol:


Im not sure what the system has to do with players having the same strengths and weaknesses and defenses playing them knowing what they are. Like no system is hiding 5 players that can’t shoot.

That is up to Thibs to work out. This isn't the same exact team and you are assuming that no one on the team got better at shooting over this long stretch of time. All of you just want to work yourselves into a frenzy before a single second has been played yet.

You always hear the OGs talk about how some guys are in it for the money, or just to put up numbers. Losers essentially. Elfrid Payton is one of those guys. He doesn’t play the right way, he only plays for his next contract. That’s why his teams always got better after he left.

Fraud.


I don't think so. I think he plays the right way. That is the reason coaches like him.

He plays to win. He doesn't play to develop rookies.

But in the current NBA, it's crucial to shoot and be able to finish. Payton is awful. He cant evolve. He is a lost cause.

Although, if the options are Teague, Rondo, Lin, its better to trust the devil you know.

Elf is a really bad combo of ball dominant can’t shoot makes stupid plays.

He’s not a playmaker — he’s a dribbler.

He can pass but not in a helpful way. He could care less about the Knicks. No way I accept this move.

Might be time to hang up your podcast. And just as you were trying to monetize too. Shame.


that shocked me. my guy thought he was running the athletic for a second.


Another lack of judgement. Paints a picture.

lol y'all whining over nothing, get over it. it's a 1 year deal.



Rondo would actually bring something to the team
In development for our young guys and a smart player

Elfrid does 0 to help us. He is selfish player that won’t be here long term. Wont help develop anyone besides his own stats and chit bag randle.
Along with a wack azz haircut

So yes. Dunn or rondo for 2 years would have been fine by me.
The whole 1 year deal thing and keeping cap open is cool. If you are a team that people want to play for. We are not that team. As showcased by the last 10+ years of free agency along with last year seeing Durant and kyrie give us the middle finger

you're justifying over something ridiculously silly.

a 1 year deal is 1000346030634060340450470 times better than handing out multiyear deal to mediocre players.


We could of drafted a PG instead of trading down
Could of traded for a young PG with potential.
No we do some basic B%%* move and sign elfrid Payton.

That is ridiculous
How do you expect Knicks fans to pay money for failing basketball seasons. No you don’t have to overpay for a veteran. Use your brain and get some new you g guys with potential to give your fans hope. There is nothing to build off of with elfrid Payton. Nothing

Maybe it’s Anthony Davis’s dream to pair up with Elfrid.

How fun... Seems like the Knicks aren’t prioritizing RJ’s development again. He’s not even a bad player but just the worst fit. If him and Randle end up playing buddy ball again I’m just done on the season before it starts.
