Westbrook is better since he becomes the 3rd option


What does that mean exactly?

He's going to be a spot up shooter? Lebron is going to drive, collapse the lane, kick it out to Russ and then Russ is going to drive into the clogged lane?

This is what everyone said when Russ was paired with Harden, and that was a complete flop.

You do realize if we had filled that hole with Paul we would have beaten the Hawks. At the end of the day you can't wait for everything to fall into place. He upgrades Randle and RJ and IQ instantly, thus he is greater than his individual production. For 2 years that's enough. You can't really project beyond then anyway





We do not beat the hawks that is false narrative. We overachieved with one year vets and took advantage of the regular season. I don’t believe that same team will finish top 6 Hawks, phili, bucks, nets , bulls and maybe Boston is better. The hawks didn’t just bears us they destroyed us and exposed us for what we really are. Which is over achieving defensive team. We need to built gradually and don’t rush it. Hell no to Chris Paul, Lowry or Derozan


Any reason you chose not to respond to my post where I addressed you directly?

It doesn't matter what we want. We're going to get whatever trade this FO can engineer. And if they can't pull off a significant acquisition tonight don't be surprised if they do sit on their hands and keep building. But at some point they're going all in on starphucking. You know it and I know it. So you and I may want a steady rebuild and we probably won't get what we want.

TRADE: The Cleveland Cavaliers are acquiring Minnesota Timberwolves G Ricky Rubio, a 2022 second-round pick and cash for F Taurean Prince, sources tell ESPN.

Door opening for Sexton to be dealt?

Knicks are silent - but lot of folks around the league saying they're hearing from them ("Why, hello Wes..."). MSG is airing a draft night special at 10 p.m. where they will focus on ... Sexton? Duarte? Various Kentucky players?

if the rumors are true that the Knicks are going after older, more ready now draft players + trading picks for middling role players, than yeah, I'd question the direction of the team


This front office has been nothing short of solid and has placed us (Knicks) 1 year ahead of schedule. Why not take advantage of the progress and shoot for the second round or more.

IMO, we need shooters, hopefully Reggie comes back in an off the bench capacity/starter fill-in, a backup center and point.
Ross would be solid, TJ Warren solid, a few other vets would be great. The Bucks without Bobby Portis' contributions probably would have had a different outcome.

Also, to be honest Duarte would not be a bad pick, becuase he can shoot the fkn rock and he's a dam tough. New York will love his grit.


Ross is 30 and only has 1 yr left on his deal. maybe I'd trade Knox + a couple 2nds, but definitely wouldn't part w/ a 1st for him. doesn't fit the timeline of this team



I didn't know he was that old? Thanks for the intel.

Nah, I'll roll with this team, with a sprinkle of new young talent. 1 more year of development and I'll be good.

Can someone please explain to me what they mean by this player doesn’t fit the timeline? What’s your understanding of the knicks timeline? Aren’t they trying to build on being a top 4 seed?
