In fairness, the media misreported how we were doing the Rose contract at first. It looked like we were out of cash when we actually used his Early Birds and had some "mystery player money" lying around.

Drummond in Philly is such a bad fit. If this was 2K Simmons and Drummond pick and roll...but wtf lol I'm glad Philly Toronto and Boston all became relatively weaker. We made the best improvements even thought Nets impressed me with their draft picks. The Atlantic is ours tho.

No back-to-back games for Kemba. I hope McBride is ready for some minutes.

Hield is a negative asset you receive a pick not get one

Yo, this mothfkr the Herd gave EVERYONE an improvement grade but the Knicks. The fk?

This Knicks hate is real and STILL they talk about our bad long terms contracts. Even though the contracts are for 2 fkn years guaranteed. :nonono:

Tell you what fk these guys, I'm putting the Knicks right up there with the Heat and Hawks to battle for those 4,5 spots again.

Fck Leon. Kemba fell onto our laps. You make it seem like Leon performed some hocus pocus.


Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Leon had us in the position to take advantage of the situation and he fell into our laps. No hocus pocus involved, just good decision making resulting in a rare positive outcome for this franchise.

So much of free agency is “luck” and being in a position to take advantage of a good opportunity when it arises and for once it benefitted us instead of some other team. Hopefully a good positive sign for the future

Terrific news, if this was announced first, then all the signings second, we would be giving the Knicks an A+ for the off season.

Agree.

I would like to see what Miles can do at the point or defending shooting guards.

It would be nice if Quickley worked on his point guard skills as well.

Wonder if they gave Rose any indication whether he would start. He doesn’t seem like he’d care, major credit to him. Seems like it might matter to Kemba and he’s the one on a discount. Either way seems 50-50 with minutes.

Negotiating a buyout takes time with millions, upon millions on the line. So you know Kemba's team was definately talking with the Knicks during the process. Funny that the Knicks waited for the Lakers and others to eat up their money.

Come on, you don't think the Lakers wouldn't have jumped on the Walker buyout? The Nets? For $8million? Of course!
