Honestly, I think we're done! No money left, and there are very few free agents left (do we even have any roster spots left?)

now, some of you might have had a history of this and don’t see it as a major offense. I mean you work hard and provide. You love her but just can’t control the rage. You hate that about you, but you find reasons to justify it in some manner or another. Might be how your dad “handled” your mom, or just a culture thing were wife and kids are property to do as you please. Maybe if we forgive others you too might be forgiven? Im not pointing fingers as I don’t know any of you.
Me? my mom took me and my sister away from my abusive father whom I have not seen. In 50 years. He could remarried and had another family. Heard he was a piece of **** there also. He could not face me as he could not face a truth. I gave him ample opportunity to make good. How we do that? Starts with an apology. Admit he was not right. What a shame he missed so many things becaue he could not face his truth. His loss. I told him years before he passed his legacy is pathetic but he bought it all upon himself and it will eat him up forever.
My mom? Got educated, build a business, mentored other women, was a friend, volunteer, grandmother, Greatgrandmotehr whose legacy impacted and improved the lives of others. Dad? Piece of **** and disregarded.
MIles has children and has a choice now. If wealthy basketall player is his priority then thats a damn shame. I don’t know how he finds redemption or even cares to. My thinking is he has been given plenty of opportunity to do right by his enablers and (if true) he ran out of chances.

I think, depending on the sequence of the signings and trades for JB,Hart and Mitch, the Knicks might still have a MlE left.

They need to make the Dallas trade a Sign and Trade?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are actively engaged in discussions on a trade package that would send star point guard Russell Westbrook to Brooklyn in exchange for star point guard Kyrie Irving, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

There’s palpable optimism that an agreement can be struck between the two sides this offseason, but there remain a few hurdles, sources said.

Draft compensation is an ongoing talking point for the Nets and they want shooting guard Joe Harris — who is recovering from left ankle surgery — and his remaining $38.6 million owed over the next two years included in the deal, sources said.

The Lakers have been disinclined to the inclusion of Harris, and are instead seeking the insertion of sharpshooter Seth Curry as part of the arrangement, sources said.

Curry is on an expiring $8.5 million deal.

The Nets maintain discussions have only been preliminary at this point, sources said.

Could we get in on this and give the Lakers Fournier and Cam (I want us to keep him as we desperately need his skill set, but for some reason Knicks seem to want to move him), who the Lakers wanted at the deadline and we almost made a deal with them regarding, for Joe Harris (not a great defender but better than Fournier and just as good if not better a shooter, so should be more playable next to Brunson) plus say, Nunn's $5mil expiring salary to make it work. Gives the lakers a much needed 2 viable players instead of one. Makes our team fit a bit better and be less of a defensive horror show.

I like RJ a lot on a rookie contract, but if I'm honest, RJ on a grown man's contract scares me to the point where I'd probably give him up for D-Mitch- especially now RJ is not going to get you Zion as Zion has now signed a rookie extension.

I keep going back and forth, but ultimately: If we can get rid of Randle, we can keep RJ and the roster makes sense going forward- we'd be a young, developing team and we can see how RJ develops as a centre piece to the team. If we're keeping Randle, then the starting lineup makes little sense together and I'd rather trade RJ then, because you just can't have him and Brunson and Randle together, it just won't work.

I was thinking about RJ’s draft. 3 players from that draft have already gotten big deals. I was just reading about Garland’s extension. He really had a remarkable season last year. Part of that was new opportunity (Sexton out) and better teammates (emergence of Mobley and Allen).

We’ll find out soon what RJ can be with a legit Pg. right now he’s a pretty good player, but I don’t think anyone regards him as an order of magnitude better than Fournier or Burks at this point.

Seems like they want Curry over Harris cause of the cost of his contract. Why would they want Fournier instread?

Can't really call it a bail out if Kyrie is involved. More like a reality TV show recast.

Lebron played with Kyrie before they can work something out and get his head straight

We saw where things ended between LBJ and Kyrie last time.

Reminds me of when Carmelo was reunited with the Rockets. It didn’t work there.
Kyrie is less of a team player now than before.
