For those that wouldn't know, I've been a fan longer than some have been alive. Anybody remember John Gianelli?

It's easy for some of the naysayers to complain about the front office and say players don't want to be here because of them. But never think for once that the players don't want to come here because of YOU!!!

Examples?
1. The treatment of Stephon was disgusting and Dad was so pained that he suffered a heart attack at MSG from the boos raining down on his son. He of Brooklyn and Abraham Lincoln high school.
2. The booing of DSJ during his family crisis was painful to watch.
3. The treatment of Patrick during his later years was pathetic to watch. Don't believe me, Google it.
4. Mark Jackson was chased out of NY, he of 4th all-time assist and our very own: Queens, St. Johns etc.

That's just some of the few I can remember. Ask yourself before comaplaining about me, if the players around the league don't keep that in mind. Don't be delusional, because they do, trust me. It's not only the bright lights of Broadway but also the dim lights of some of the fans.

SO go ahead, blame Dolan, blame the front offices, coaches etc. and keep ignoring the fanbase's treatment of their own homegrown players.
I just hope we can get behind Obi and give the young man the posiitve energy he needs to bring us closer to the ultimate goal.
But know what? Given some of the posts the last couple of days and past experiences, I have big reservations.


No one knew that DSJ's stepmom had died when he was booed. He was booed in the celtics game cause he played like garbage (in that game and every game before, including Pre-Season while Frank was getting DNPs). It wasn't until the postgame that some journalists had started reporting their was a death in his family. If people had known he obviously wouldn't have been booed

It seems the plan is going to be to play the young guys and hope guys like Frank/DSjr/Knox can develop and increase their value either to keep them or trade them

Is Ingram worth throwing money at? RJ-Ingram-Obi-Mitch is pretty serious when they all get their run in

Have they been living under a rock for 20 years? This has been the laughing stock franchise in the NBA while having the most loyal fan base behind it and we can't be critical about the direction of this poorly run franchise?

People have every right ot be skepital especially since the same things seem to be repeating themselves early on.

I don't even see that much whining to be honest. People just need to talk their ****, I guess.


correct, people think we should just accept a signing like Payton or a 2 way deal like Pinson. If this is truly a development year these 2 have no business being on the roster outside of there CAA connection. Which people rightfully have an issue with.

Its called Nepostism


No fans should definitely whine for 100+ pages about giving Elf a 1 year $5 mil deal or signing a player to a two way contract... :lol:

Payton
Burks

Randle

To the FO, vets=wins. And the primary goal this year is to win as much as possible to attract free agents next year. Therefore, all the non-vets will have to be benched because development happens by watching other guys play.

we complained in game threads and post game threads and draft threads about Elf for the past year - it's bizarre to think that wouldn't continue when he is resigned.

MaseInYourFace wrote:I’m actually chilling. I wasn’t on the boat to waste a whole bunch of money. I would love to trade Randle but worse case he stays and we try again at deadline. Payton is a limited player but it’s one year at low money. I think signing Pinson is a waste of time and could be used on a more talented player. These are shaky moves but not worth getting super upset about either.


Good post and this is where i'm at as well. Didn't want Elf back at all but not gonna cry about 1 year at $5 mil and truthfully he actually had some good games for us last year and think he was our top guy with throwing up the nice lobs to MRob so will be fun to watch both MRob and Obi getting the lobs next year. Would rather those lobs come from a real PG that we can actually look at as our future PG but for the rebuild i'm good with whoever wins the starting job out of Frank, DSJ and Elf. Hoping it's Frank.

This off-season has been a huge reminder to me that you must get value for your superstars. It is tough to bring someone here without one or two of them. That KP trade for cap space was a ridiculous plan. We had no guarantee or anything locked in to do it. Aside from the recovering reputation as a franchise. We need to be smarter about moving our franchise players. Still can’t believe we didn’t bid on Jimmy Butler

Just a massive failure, we should have had Malcolm Brogdon as part of our contingency plans, but they had nothing but KD & Kyrie as their plan. Just think of how different the outlook would be for us if we had Brogdon at PG.
