Getting kemba & Fournier w/o giving up assets was good for them


They had like 60 mill in cap space. I thought they would try to bring in Kyle and DeMar.

But if I was a Knick fan, I would have been disappointed with their off-season. Who knows if Kemba can play an entire NBA season. Fournier certainly wasn't a difference maker for the Magic, or the Celtics. There's no way the Knicks are positioned to be a legit contender, unless they can use their salaries to get the next disgruntled superstar.

If people want to watch their favourite players, if that's what brings them happiness, who is anyone to say otherwise?

....Scottie's impact has been underwhelming. That's the best thing I've read all day. Scottie is better than everyone behind him in the rotation, so yah, we're a worse team when he's out. Regardless of what your numbers say.


I don't care, but why do some feel the need to trash our team and say "blowout L" because Scottie is out? I also don't feel like reading all of these "not watching" posts because one player (albeit the most exciting one on the team) is doubtful to play when I know most of them will actually end up watching the game because they ARE fans or, even worse, not watch the game then make assumptions from the box score if we lose.

I didn't say Scottie's impact has been underwhelming. He has been either our best or 2nd best player via the eye test. What I did say was that his impact stats tell a different story and we have actually been better with Scottie on the bench. They aren't "my" numbers I'm pulling out of my ass. They're readily available to anyone on virtually every NBA stat-tracking website. I'm not making things up.

...so you do care
I don't care if people watch the game or not, but I do care if fans are trashing our team and being douchebags. Big difference.

Let's hope that this is like the time Nurse said Dragic would be starting and Gary ended up being the starter.

Just skim over it, the game thread is full of hot takes.

Fred is awful, OG can't create, Precious has pancake hands, Trent is hot garbage who can't defend, etc etc etc

Most people are kidding enjoying the rollercoaster of emotions that comes from fandom. The boards would suck if everyone had the same opinion

Quite painful. I've never 'sprained' my thumb, but I did break my thumb twice playing basketball when I was younger. It's one of those joints where the pain / swelling can linger for a long time

I want to see Champagnie Papi start. Would be pretty cool for him to start in his home state. Plus I think he would do pretty good out there.

Game isn't worth watching without Scottie playing.

Good luck.
