Looks like phx has no reliable offense.

If Mavs win you have to also add Trey Burke and Theo Pinson. That's a compiled starting Knicks lineup from the past few years... Just glad they didn't keep KP there or it would sting even more. Go Warriors!

If they had KP they would of lost.

Why would you not want our past guys to win? The Knicks didn’t believe in them and didn’t trust them to be long term piece. That’s not in the players. This is the second team the Knicks have helped win in the playoffs. There was the Cleveland Knicks and now Dallas Knicks.

dallas hasn't exactly won a ring yet.

and there isn't a single one of those guys i'd want back. except theo of course

I wouldn't mind Reggie in a bench role. Fun fact, Brunson shot a higher fg percentage from 2 point range than KP for the Mavericks this year.

I said helped win in the playoffs. No mention of ring.

If they had kept KP they would have not made the playoffs. Washington probably would have, though.

So all we need is Luka?

Well it looks like the magic team building formula has changed. Don't need no stinkin' "big three". One consistent euro and five ex-knicks and you're good to go.

Lebron is next year's CP3 sad sack.

He's 23... if he can become a marginal offensive player he will be in the NBA for a long time. At this point I expect him to have Patty Mills type career

Of Mitchell/Monk/Frank/Smith only Donovan turned out to be worth the pick. Lottery luck is tough sometimes

he's good at that... always way. Still have to hide him on offense. Dude played 10mpg, over 7 games he had 12 points, 13 fouls and 6 TOs while shooting 36%

So Frankie can play 12 minutes of stellar defense and the Mavs lose by 30.
Or Frankie can play 12 minutes of stellar defense and the Mavs win by 30.

Either way, Frankie wins!
If for no other reason, Frankie's sheer existence validates the possible true net-worthlessness of a Brunson.

And there is no such thing as luck.
