forget that even, who is giannis joining that he would think he's better off here than on the bucks anyway ?

Yeah it's absurd the amount of fantasizing going on here. We have the assets for a pseudo star that another team is looking to get rid of in a rebuild (CJ McCullum, maybe). Trading/FA will not save us in the short-term.

what I'm saying is it's not about Boston or anything rational even. It's about Giannis and what he wants. 3 firsts plus 2 swaps is the real trade, and thats a given at this point for any star. Jaylen brown vs, RJ and IQ is less important to consider. The players go where they want. for example, I'm sure NOP could have gotten more from another team but AD wanted the Lakers end of story. I just used Giannis as an example not that I think he's looking at the Knicks.

Well, Butler looks pissed in Miami and he's been praising Thibs and the Knicks, he loves Thibs. IF he actually demanded a trade with the Knicks on his short list, I do believe we would have the assets to trade for Butler. And we would also have cap space to sign Kawhi if he wanted to team up with him. 99.999% chance that doesn't happen though

with butlers contract I want picks :lol:

I'm not the biggest Sexton guy, but if Thibs can turn Randle from a big stats, losing player guy into a winning player (in the regular season, at least), then I'd be willing to give him a shot with Sexton. At the very least, he'd be what Payton's 3 fans and mother thought he was for us this year

Don't want to give up a ton to get him though, it'd be a gamble on him working out.

the knicks needed randle to continue to look like a star to attract another one. he didn't. if that's still the plan now it's gonna fail.

The question is is that player worth what Sexton might cost?

I bet it was KD who texted SAS

You think real alpha star players think they can't force Randle to a complementary role? These betas texting Stephen A just exposed themselves.

Agreed. The big guys were always a long shot, now longer.

Nope. A guy with more of his play style who can help him transform into what he needs to become. Derrick Rose.

I hope we give him one more season, he imparts more defensive mechanics or whatever and we move on from him. His stubbornness and inability to think on his feet was completely exploited by Nate. No coach is easier to scheme against.

snadler · Post #778 » by **snadler** » Thu Jun 3, 2021 4:49 pm

If what Stephen A says is true, then Rose and WWW obviously know that as well, there is no front office more connected than these 2, and "if" its accurate than they might consider letting Randle go...we will see

Lot more concerning questions about our future. Can we still trend upwards? Sure can. But there is a little more uncertainty about what we have then about 10 days or so.

You can always tell members of the Closet Kenny Club by statements like that.

McMillan sent doubles at Randle and overplayed shooters. It's the exact same thing the Heat did and no master class in coaching.
Thib wasn't "outcoached" by some wide margin.

The fairly sh*tty roster was exposed.

Sorry Frank didn't get any minutes. That doesn't mean Thibs sucks. It means Frank sucks, as he has through like 18 coaches now. Unfortunately. I was really rooting for the guy. He'll probably put it all together on some other team. Specifically the Mavs, so the prophecy can be fulfilled.

Stop gap option and figure it out in 2022 is my guess.

Payton it is.

Well, he's probably Burk's replacement.
