Your Thibs devotion makes so much more sense now that I know you're a fan of dictators and have trading cards on them, I have connected the dots. If I were invited to the Billionaire household, would I see a large framed picture of Dear Coach above your TV? This is of course before you turn me into the Knicks gestapo for being a Thibs dissident.

The weird thing about the people with Thibs cholo letters across their chest and drop coverage tramp stamps is Thibs never won anything. People still hiring Doc Rivers have his title to hang on. Thibs best season was his first in Chicago. When Derrick Rose was good.

Giannis is 2 years away and a knee injury from being completely cooked. He's had 12 years to learn how to shoot a basketball. 18% from 3 is career worst, 57% from the line is career worst.

No chance he just gets better by getting older and less explosive, while all his shooting stats make RJ look like **** Ray Allen.

This is like complaining about Shaq not having a jumper :lol:

I’ll take a guy who won a championship and a finals mvp over KAT and Mikal all day. Every GM would.

Giannis from 4 or 5 years ago. For sure. The Shaq you are getting if you trade for Giannis now is

He is career worst in every measurable and falling off fast. Might not even be his fault as they've abused him the past 3 years. Again, guy could have learned to shoot a free throw or 30% on 3 in 12 years.

It's not like 5% off ... its way off, you're trading for 6' 10" Westbrook.

:lol: Giannis is averaging a career high 31.8 PPG and you’re comparing him to Celtics Shaq.

Yes. He's scoring a lot. Look at his free throw percentage? How do explain a guy falling off that terribly? It's Westbrookian. Like he doesn't have a thumb anymore.

They're not doing well and he's career worst by a huge margin. Only getting worse for Giannis from here on out, he's 30 and bad at basketball. He's 30 and they've beaten him to death the past few years with a bad supporting cast.

So are you saying you'd swap KAT for him straight up? I would probably also. KAT is 29 and on an equally awful contract they are almost the same to the dollar.

Neither guy is getting any more durable. Giannis is far superior defensively even if he can't shoot outside 4 feet. Then you need a center who can shoot? We released the Unikornet for nothing. Who the hell is playing center next to a PF that can't shoot outside the 3 second lane?

What else are we attaching to KAT, we traded 5 firsts for Derrick Whites stepson?

Elite offensive players.

Get a coach whose defensive schemes fit today's NBA and who is creative enough to get the most out of his personnel on defense instead of hanging them out to dry..if so, Knicks will surely be better than bottom of the league.
