It's not that hard. You just need a brilliant GM like Sean Marks.

And being a fortnite addict. Remember that article that came out that said Fizdale was upset with him playing so much. Unreal

Seriously. I'm old school. I like my players addicted to cocaine.

Schit even Miles looks great

He averaged 18 PPG as a starter on 50/41/85 splits. We passed up a lot of good players for Knox lol

We have to build up the Knox hatred on here.

I mean, next year, with Frank and Payton gone, it's his time in the spotlight.

Its just that he wont get enough playing time to be hated and no one is begging for him to get in the game except for the odd fan that thinks he will hit 5 threes in a row lol

Knox will get traded together with IQ, Obi and Mitch.

It's not that hard. You just need a brilliant GM like Sean Marks.

Jarrett Allen - 22nd pick by Nets.....they properly developed him.

Dinwiddie - 38th pick by Detroit...traded & waived 2 years later.... Nets signed off the scrap heap and properly developed him.

Caris LeVert - 20th Pick by Indy...traded to Nets two weeks later for a PF and properly developed.

D'angelo Russel - Acquired from Lakers after they soured on him, made a leap in development first full season with Nets.

All young players, and all were pivotal players in Nets 6th seed playoff run, only to fall 4-1 to the Sixers.

Nevertheless, it was the overall professionalism of that org, their playoff run, and the development of those "pieces" that made the Nets so attractive to Kyrie and KD who clearly wanted to play in NY.

Russel then became a valuable piece for GS in the transaction that would send KD to the Nets. The value of those other players later enabled the Harden trade as well.

Knicks have fallen light years behind the Nets in every aspect of running a franchise...but it looks like they're finally headed in the right direction.

Wonder if Doc Rivers will put Ben Simmons or Thybulle on Trae tonight. It was insane that he didn’t in the last game and was fine with Danny Green. Doc is so overrated

If the Hawks put the Sixers down in a 0-2 hole tonight, you can wrap it up, and somebody is getting traded after this series.

He should. Put those two on him (either or) and then trap him hard with the occasional switch just to keep them guessing. Funnel shots to Solomon Hill or Collins and stay at home with Bogs. Attack Collins and Trae on defense every time down. Should be an easy W.

Watch the Knicks make a play for Ben Simmons... We'll bring star power back to the Garden one way or another... Who cares if he's useless outside of 3 feet.

but a treadmill can only take you so far

People are really SIMPLE. KD and Kyrie did not sign with the Nets to play with Dinwiddie, Jarrett Allen, and Caris Levert... How many games did KD play last season? They can talk all that S*** about a culture change at Barclays, the plan was always to add Harden to that core and surround those three with a bunch of 10 day contract, vet minimum scrubs.

KD and Kyrie just didn't want to do it here... and the reasons were probably more personal than anything else. Psychological... A Dolan-owned team isn't a great look, he has a history of being overbearing (euphemistic phrasing here)... KD and Kyrie run the Nets organization with zero intervention/impositions... It's their blank slate.

Miss me with that "culture change" s***.
