I still don’t see any issue with that though. He was a rebuilding team, he had to do it cause nobody would take him in a trade. What’s wrong about that?


I'm literally just answering yours and EZ's question about what Deeeez and I are referring to:

Its a baf like move where you throw some compensation and have somebody buy a player out

That’s fine, but what does it have to do with open bidding?

Another thing. I actually like the fact that Rose, Kemba, Fournier, Noel, Robinson, etc are not the most durable. Maybe even brittle. Cuz it ensures at some point the kids will get legitimate chances to make the rotation and also, at worst if the perfect storm hits, we'd still have a shot at ending up in the lottery despite not having any intentions to tank. Which could end up as a blessing in disguise.

Long story short, we are in solid shape either way.

Knicks fans are the worst!!! You wanted demar for 85 million and mad at kemba for 8 million. Are you all nuts?
FYI to the people that don’t know anything Kemba has a better defensive rating than demar. Oh and he passes and has range and dribble...


I swear some of you just shouldn’t be knicks fans

Nah, team tank is elated. This is one of those moves where people celebrate now then ask why were giving up 114ppg during the season.


I want Kemba to succeed cause he's from NY, but this is the type of move that can backfire big-time. So it's welcomed with open arms.

Backfire big time? sorry, I'm not seeing that. Lowry, lonzo, cp3, derozan, almost anything else that was out there had more risk.



Yes, backfire because our backcourt will be bad defensively and our PG rotation is ancient while one of them has been having knee problems the last 2 seasons. The Heat, Bulls and Suns have top 20 players to insulate them from their moves, we don't and if Rose has to start cause Kemba is out we're out of luck.

You can see a chance that the Knicks are a better defensive team than the other top teams, Randle doesn’t choke, the young guys are involved and contributing and we have enough veteran scoring to compete at the top of the East.

    Trea still kills us but you can't double Randle like they did and completely take him out

    Wow I hadn't looked at the stats yet. 37.2% from 3 on 8.3 attempts per game over last 2 seasons. I figured with his injuries he was more down around 34-35%. That's huge!

    Think of every single time payton was left open and bricked 3 after 3 or literally caught it and didn’t shoot.

    Then think of having a better catch and shoot person and go get his own shot player in Fournier instead of bullock and tell me this team isn’t an upgrade. Is it winning a chip no, but am I ready to say let’s go see the hawks in the playoffs again. Hell yeah.

    Let Trae learn to try and cover kemba. And if not kemba Fournier. And if not Fournier Barrett. Trae ain’t hiding on defense this time around

    didn't randle just make the playoffs with payton as his starting pg? When has lavine made it? Is lavine your top 20 player? Derozan isn't a top 20 player and his teams have better net ratings when when he's off the court

    I don’t think so. This is the type of the move that actually won’t backfire big time. Trading picks to pay Derozan big money is type of move that can backfire big time. This is a move, at its worst, is a slight improvement over what we had in Payton



    Why do you all keep mentioning DeRozan? None of the regular posters here wanted to sign him.

    Our backcourt will be bad defensively, just how bad is up in the air.
