The thing that makes no sense in all of this though is the Nets stuff.

KD was rumored to come here all year then out of nowhere after the injury he decides he wants to go to Brooklyn?

It's just common sense that every team will want to see records. Its possible the records show that Durant has a torn achillies.

They have to fill up hours of nonsense before free agency even starts so have to hype everything up as breaking news from sources

Signing a top 5 player is good. There's no way to spin it otherwise. He didnt get his leg amputated.

I think Brooklyn has only recently come into play as a pawn to get the Knicks' attention. I don't believe any true intention of KD to go to the Nets. It's all gamesmanship.

Don't downplay the severity of a ruptured Achiles tendon. It's one of the worst injuries for an athlete to have. Paying a guy to play at most 3 out of 4 seasons including his final year where he'll be slated to make around 50 million dollars at the age of 35 is a HUGE, HUGE gamble and one this team doesn't need.

Max Kellerman was a boxing analyst for most of his career

When ESPN approached Max Kellerman they asked him:

"Have you ever heard of the game called basketball?"

Max said no.

ESPN said you're hired.

The rest is history.

It's called being a Knick fan. You should have known when things started looking good for us. The Knicks need to get some ritualistic cleansing done to cleanse their eternal bad juju.

I thought that happened when we picked Ewing to rep us at the lottery.

All the news about the Nets is framed in a way where people can't believe anybody would pick them. "It's legit" ... "Kyrie *still* wants to go to the Nets."

All of it like "Really??!!"
