If Mitchell forces his way out, we'd be the ideal landing spot. We'd have to send them IQ + Obi + loads of picks, though. And even then, they'd probably want RJ + Obi + loads of picks, instead.

Mitch
Randle
RJ
Mitchell
PG: Lonzo/Brunson/Brogdon/Paul/Conley/Lowry

Bench: Rose, Burks, Frank, Noel

Yeah... we'd be legit contenders for a couple years.

If you're gonna say stuff like this, you gotta at least make an argument for it

"I know basketball and you guys don't" isn't an argument, it's your opinion

It's wrong, of course, but it's a free country, you're allowed to have wrong opinions about basketball and your own intelligence.

It’s effeminate for one to be emotionally attached to athletes. Brown is a better player than Randle and Barrett. If you don’t agree, cool. If you think shooting threes and having a stylish haircut matters, cool.

They can have Burks back since he fits their window, I'm keeping IQ

The 6MOY surprise announcement was really dope

Clarkson and Ingles seem to have good vibes

Didn’t Mitchell just sign his extension? We’d have to move heaven and earth to get him here

Is Donovan Mitchell better than Zach Lavine?

He's obviously won more, but he's also had better players and coaches around him since he entered the league.

That's what the Knicks were last year...

Wow, how dare a rookie not carry his team to a championship...

So are you just going to ignore the fact that RJ averaged 18 points with an elite 3PT percentage?

The NBA is not the G League, you either can ball or you can't. He's not a star and will never been a star. I know you kids like three pointers, but it is nothing more than a trick shot. NBA game today is watered down and full of spot up shooters. Anybody can average 18 if given the number of touches, that doesn't make them a star.

Just saw this shyt you posted. Don't do this to good folks. It's not going to end up well for you.

Anybody can average 18ppg on 44/40/75 shooting splits on a playoff team? Okay, now you've lost credibility.

Actually, I disagree. He lost it with his first post.

Good thing you're aren't a GM. So far those two players aren't proving their worth. Knicks will lose this series against an average Hawks team.

Do you intend to talk shyt to every good poster on this board? Don't do it.

This is great, I hope the Bucks demolish them in 4.

Jaylen Brown wasn’t even the best player on two ECF teams. He’s a good 2nd-3rd option.

If you think Randle or Barrett is better than Brown, then you don’t know basketball. At least Bulls fans knew Nate Robinson and Bellineli weren’t stars/game changers after one good series.

I see what you did there!

I'm 6'5", you wouldn't say that to me in person, dweeb. Go practice your three point shot with your analytics sheet.

I’ll bust your 6’5” punk ass back up your mama’s vagina bitch.

It took until now for Brook Lopez to get a normal haircut.

What's wrong with being effeminate?

Cant imagine being so insecure in your hood that being a fan of a a player is considered "gay". Truly a new low at knicks realgm I havent seen before.

Yep, very insecure.

Effeminate doesn’t mean gay, pick up a dictionary. You shouldn’t care if someone doesn’t marvel at three point shooters, role players and non difference makers. Not everyone lives in a video game.

keep it real - you and I and everyone else knows what you mean when you're saying someone is "unmanly". And in this context of rooting for a man on a team we can infer wtf YOU are implying.

I mean, I think you shouldn't care about a stranger on the Internet thinking you're effeminate. I don't, but clearly you do

Which is pretty effeminate, when you think about it. Which is totally fine, I'm not gonna judge you for that.

Miami gotta tank

Blitzkrieg raining down on the Heat. Buckskrieg.

Post #1759 » by **K_ick_God** » Tue May 25, 2021 12:12 am

This is great to watch. Heat thought this would be a close one and they're being dismantled and embarrassed. Go Ant. Prove me wrong.

Laughing more from this than any post since the Green one self destructed.
