Why would Cuban care what the Knicks do ? He is losing his guy for nothing. And has no real way of replacing him. This was the second best player on his best team in 10 years.

The thing is. Idk what they'd even help us with lol. Unless we moving Randle to them but I'd want some form of compensation. Suck it Mavs!

Yup, losing Burks means we only have Grimes and Fournier who can reliably punish teams from perimeter

We also have Frankenstein

And we'll probably end up sending him Ryan Archdeacon for some reason. Cuban loves Knick bench players.

It’s official - ! or ? Seems it is. I will admit I poked fun at the obsession with him and the multiple threads. I assumed there was no way. Well there ya go! The one rumor that came to be!

I hedge my optimism with Knick PTSD and vice versa. I do think he will bring Randle up a notch and maybe some of the others. Seems like the kind of player I like - undiva. Though I do wonder what’s the over/under on home games before he’s booed.

I guess you've forgotten that half season of Felton.
Oh. And Jarrett Jack!

Blazers gave Anfernee Simmons 4 years, 100 mil. Guess this is what the range is these days for very good backcourt players.

Right now, we look like a team that could make it to the second round. We need one more deal to get at least to the ECF.

So just to beat that old dead horse one more time….did our boy Douchezingis’s max contract kickstart the Mavs being too cap strung to retain their second best player and he winds up with us? Reaching I know but it’s a day for happy thoughts….

Yes as a Knicks fan today was one of our “what’s best in life” days as a fandom

Just change women to “Mavs and Nets fans”

The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Thibs be like, "Don't worry about Brunson's defense. I've had to cover up for Rose for years and Kemba really got me sharp last year."

Was a good day in the summer. But the game is won on the court.

Easily. And I’d argue he’s significantly better than both Felton and Lin.

The thing is. Idk what they'd even help us with lol. Unless we moving Randle to them but I'd want some form of compensation. Suck it Mavs!

Unloading Fournier

why does everyone want to get rid of fournier? He is the only player who can penalize teams when he is left open at the 3pt line- everyone else is just guessing when they shoot.

Yup, losing Burks means we only have Grimes and Fournier who can reliably punish teams from perimeter

Quickley can shoot from 3 and he will be playing more SG next season which is where he belongs

It contributed to it. The only way Cuban could dump Douchingis was to take on Dinwiddie’s contract in return which is $20 mil against the cap next season

Right so you have IQ, RJ, Grimes all who can play at the SG and Cam who can play minutes at the SF
