Ack, why is Jonathon Macri doing this to me? I just paid the subscription for his newsletter and he repays us with this awful news!

So far Rose looks patient. Isiah would have traded all of our draft picks for Kemba Walker by now

OKC talking to Phoenix reeks of them trying to get Rose to offer RJ or Mitch

Ha
Phil and Mills were 10X worst than Isiah...

They had Cap space and High picks and still produce the worst record in the history of the franchise.

Thats like having a fridge full of good food and dying from starvation

You don't need league sources to see the writing on the wall.

I do hope we are trading out as much as we are "absorbing" so that there's room to fill out the team.

As a long-time Knick fan, will have to take deep breaths and reframe this deal so I can walk with some sense of pride as the cycle of violence begins once again...

Could this be Leon Rose's end game? Will a line up of

Mitch,RJ,Hayward,Westbrook

Be a contender for multiple years to come? Will this line up be a team knicks fans can cheer wildly for?

Mitch, draft pick?, Hayward, RJ, Westbrook.

Do they Knicks have the juice to even pull that off? It'd be fun

I think the idea is the knicks will piggy back on the Celtic-Nola trade as a facilitator of some sorts and come out with Hayward.not so sure if it's possible but they are looking at it i guess

Would you feel comfortable starting Gordon at the 4, while retaining Taj? A pick like Isaiah Washington at #27 would make more sense in that scenario.

If we get lucky Toppin drops to 8 and we still have the 8th pick the line up could be:

Mitch, Toppin, Hayward, RJ and Westbrook

Because of his age, Toppin is said to be ready to contribute in day 1. Im intrigued by this line up, 2 all-stars and 3 potential future all-stars in the starting line up. If we can do well in the next 2 drafts and select a very good SF and PG to eventually take over Hayward and Westbrook after 5 years we will be in a very good position for the next 10 years or so.

Yeah, that could happen, but it seems unlikely...at least now. The team will probably need to be creative at the four with small, hustle ball lineups.

Jimbo5 wrote:The team might finally being smart about it, reports say they are interested in Westbrook only on the cheap aka if its a salary dump. Im totally on board with this, that will give the knicks assets to swing a trade for another star like Hayward. It seems like a long shot as of now but the next 3 weeks will be fast and wild, lets see how the knicks roster shakes up when the dust settles. But a Toppin, Hayward and Westbrook in the line up come December 22 excites me!

What reports?

Go look up the 23 win season. LOok at the cap. Look how we were 40% more then the Trailblazers 2nd that year in salary. Then consider we did not have our pick that year in the lottery. Then take your head out of your ass and think how bad that is. While 23 wins are better then 17, and its not your money so you don’t care, but the picks were.
Then consider he was found guilty of sexual harassment. Don’t forget he fires Chaney, Fratello tells him to **** off, then hires Wilkins to quell his embarrassment.
Wait he hires Larry brown, and pays him 23 million to coach one season with epic embarrassment by banishing him to do pressers on the side of the road.

10 times worse? Not quite.
