hey, I'm on board. Westbrook would never be available via trade anyway - not until his knees start to go bad.

I tend to be of the belief that trading for guys is not the way to go and if a guy is available via trade it's because there is a problem developing with that player or the player is overrated. Sometimes a guy just needs a change of scenery, but usually it doesn't tend to work. I wish they would just commit to drafting guys. The "problem" with the Knicks could be fixed with three or four good drafts in a row. Dolan, the idiot, keeps throwing good money after bad, trying to fix it all at once. It's been this way for 16 years. You'd think we'd learn.

as I've said.

I ain't interested in adoption, I want my own damn baby!

Yep.

I don't know why Dolan doesn't realize that fans would love to just draft D'Angelo Russell and watch him grow into a star over the course of five years.

Hell, even advertisers would love it.

Dolan is really dumb.

its like when I stopped caring about the yankees.

Steinbrenner was like Dolan. Trade away all of our kids / assets for old HasBeens.

Then he had the whole Howie Spira fiasco and was forced to stay away.

Stick Michael took over and changed the way we do things.

We one a bunch of rings with many of our own kids which was unbelievable.

Now they are back to the same old buy and die mentality and I know longer give a sh1t about the yankees. They kind of nauseate me.

Who did the Yankee's trade away??

well ... not exactly giving up the kids like they did before but bringing in the juicers for big stupid money and fewer home growns.

Jeter
Posada
Mariano
Petite
Bernie

That is home grown and it makes you feel like its our team that we grew.

Arod has cursed them.

The Yankees moves have been nauseating since 2009

Yeah. Presti made it sound like he s gone for the rest of the season. Knicks need to Make and keep their pick. If Durant is coming t ny hopefully it is in 2016 but it is starting sound like that might not be a good move.

It k Durant has any chance to be healthy he may need to take next year off. Right now he is looking at a third corrective surgery on the same foot in 3 months. My guess is they need the inflammation to come down and then figure out if they need a new approach to repair the foot. For the surgery to fail twice is quite serious. Right now he has foot that is not able to be repaired by the standard surgery for his condition. very bad news for kd

I think we're much more likely to trade our pick for Embiid and a lower 76ers 1st than trading for KD, and I am against it for much the same reasons- Embiid also having set backs and complications with his foot.

I bet Hahn still wants him for our lottery pick
