so basically he's asking for a trade

Read on Twitter

Yes, and in the worst possible way. Not only do I want to break up with you, I want to go back to my old girlfriend and talk bad about you behind your back, but I want to make sure you don’t hate me for it.

He is such a loser. He's honestly the most detestable basketball player in my opinion. This diva crap makes it worse. It's bad enough all the flopping and phantom fouls he gets called for him along with travelling consistently. He's a clown.

If we trade Cam for Dragic and a trash pick all I can do is laugh

Yeah but it's a good salary dump. Noel + Burks gone off our books and Dragic is expiring as well.

I would do this deal in a heart beat.

You’re missing the point.

The Knicks keep doing the same thing over and over - signing marginal players to garbage contracts and then trading assets to get rid of them. It’s not smart at all. It’s actually the worst and most pathetic way to do business as an NBA team. That trade would be awful for that reason.

And we don’t need to ‘dump salary’ for Noel and Burks. They’re going to be expiring contracts next year. It’s stupid and unnecessary. Only guys who need to be dumped are Randle and Fournier.

Putting stock in the wrong guys, sticking with the wrong guys, benching the wrong guys and now attaching assets to the wrong guys. It's so amazingly stupid! They know it's stupid too but they expect us to be even stupider.

This also makes the Charlotte draft day trade even more idiotic. We basically gave away a pick for free

[SelbyCobra]

the raptors are the real losers in this. noel & tht are both terrible this year. both have more years on their deals. i wouldn't be surprised if noel doesn't pass his physical.

Apparently they need bodies who can simply log minutes. Their starters' minutes make Thibs blush.

I understand theres no point in keeping Noel and Burks around but attaching assets to get rid of them is not a good move. We arent making any moves in free agency this offseason so its better off keeping them on the books for another year and look to trade their expiring contracts at some point next season. We should be using assets to unload Fournier and/or Randle, those are the real problem contracts

if they get a 1st back of equal value they used to get cam, the cam trade is fine. he must really look like sh*t to them for them to give up hope on him already. the problem with that report tho is he has to be traded alone.

exactly, Thibs clearly has no interest in playing him and Cam who already came with the mindset he thinks he can be a superstar and wanted to play probably hasn't been a happy camper and thibs probably doesn't care to play him even after the trade deadline.

You recoup a similar type of 1st at least value wise its fine.

They clearly are trying to get a get of of jail free card reset...it looks horrible be it probably was there only option to save there jobs.

It also puts them into play for Brunson in the offseason...who we know the entire organization loves.

He must look brutal in practice. Look at Grimes. He apparently showed out in practice and got his shot.

They practice??

Tried to warn Nets fans, they didn't wanna hear it though.

[Deeeez Knicks]

That's the only angle that makes sense, otherwise I don't understand the urgency to get out of Burks and Noel a year early.

It also clears some hurdles to pursuing Brunson

they can also cut taj before free agency and open up some more money. mitch's cap hold is nothing so that helps get both done if they want.

They probably can move Kemba an his 8 MM in the offseason as well since he will be an expiring for maybe a 2nd round pick or 2 if they really need the extra money to secure Brunson/Mitch.

Maybe he will retire even?

[god shammgod]

i think the nets would be fools not to make the harden trade even with all they gave up. the team that pays harden his next deal is about to be the real loser.

If the nets just kept Allen and Levert they would probably be the favorites to win it all. Allen has taken the leap to being a great player.

Levert would be a super 6th man scorer.

They would also have all there 1st rounders to add more talent.

mpharris wins!

seems like wishful thinking

[mpharris36]

If Toronto keeps disrespecting Chris Boucher I wouldn't mind him being added to the deal for the knicks.

Yeah he will just ask for a buyout and collect that 8 MM for doing nothing

you might have. unless he's pulling a fast one on them and playing like sh*t to get out of there. it's so hard to tell.

Watch the Knicks actually make a great deal but Noel fails his physical so bad when the xrays show he has a break in every bone and it gets revoked

you can't trust him anymore. How can you force your way to a team and have them give up everything...to play less then a year there and ask out again...dude is a nutjob

[GONYK]

I think they seem him as a 4, since he's built like if Nerlens went on Jenny Craig
