Pure speculation but it certainly is consistent with the notion we are looking at a bigger deal. Also consistent w notion Damian may be traded as he can’t be happy w the talent exodus. Not saying Damian is coming here but I wouldn’t be surprised either.

Length and size of the contract put us off- Knicks front office has their price and won't exceed it, same reason we (thankfully) gave up on Dinwiddie and Hayward

if that's the basis and they're exercising good discipline, then great. that said, they had all the reason for a mild panic purchase with the way this season is going.

somewhat ironic that Keon Johnson was our draft pick

We have been doing that since phil was fired..and were no better now

so what do you want them to do? you seem to think they stink at the following:
trades
draft
fa (udfa included)

can you name me other ways you can get players? if they stink at this and you fuss about it, should they fold em up as a team? if they dont fold, they have no other options than to keep trying those routes. if other teams dont like what they have, what can they do right now? if they are bad at getting a roster together, they have to find a way to figure it out. doing nothing at all does that, nothing.

Never say die! Over 2 hrs left. Prepare to be astounded.

Horton-Tucker is who I want. Hopefully we get rid of Kemba for some assets.
Please NO Westbrook. No other starphucks. FO is level headed. They are not going to make a move just to make a move.

Knicks1248 has ALL the perceived problems and NONE of the solutions. Guarantee that he was on board for Bargnani, Mcdyess and Curry trades. Just to make a move.

He does not realize A TRADE has TWO parts in it's meaning.

Wow, it finally happened. Now, is Simmons vaxxed, or is it both Ben and Kyrie sitting out home games?

Would've loved to seen the argument Doc had with Morey about trading his son-in-law.

Some times teams trade players, some times players trade themselves

am I wrong to say I like that trade a lot for the Nets.

Is Simmons vaccinated or does his nutcase not go that far?

Harden is going to go down as the biggest baby of this era.

Harden had to promise to drop about 20lbs and be in shape by playoffs.
