SMC Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 2 hours ago, Matt39 said: The chances of any team wanting Carmelo or him actually agreeing to a trade are basically zero. It's going to be an interesting offseason. Bringing him back would be absolutely insane. We're passing Arod territory here. I agree. But a team will trade for him at the right price. Good to see Randle and the young guys play, but the win hurt the ping pongs. They're now 9th in lottery seeding. Fortunately, I see at least 8 losses on the horizon to end the month and potentially more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with this tank is the owner had expectations for the team to be good. The chances of them making a stupid decision this offseason are heading towards 100%. Im talking trading for Cousins terrible. Phil and the triangle being the scapegoat for Carmelo and Rose being the new Marbury and Curry should make everyone nervous.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wow, had no idea how crazy Ball's pops is, good god. His sons should get a $1billion shoe deal. He would have "killed" MJ one-on-one in his heyday. Averaged 2.2 ppg in his one season of pro-ball. Sounds about right. Son is legit though, would love to have him.

Cousins only has 1 year left on his deal and there's already talk of him re-signing with Pelicans. I do find it comical that you think anything that has to do with Phil is scapegoating. These are all Phil's decisions. Phil has said it and Satan has said it. But live in the fantasy realm of Satan calling the shots while Phil makes one blunder after the other. Phil has to be thankful for fans who give him a pass like you have. Then again, Phil doesn't give a crap about anything but the triangle.

And I was wrong, it was 2.2 ppg in college... I usually find Chuck intolerable, but I loved how he called out Ball. There's a strong argument for Ball being the best player in the draft, but I wonder at what point is his pops a liability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron's deal reaches that same figure, and while Curry's deal is for $200 million there have been estimates that he is worth something like $14 bill to UA. The sneaker industry is kind of preposterous right now and it doesn't look like that's changing any time soon. Absolutely zero chance he gets that kind of deal as a rookie, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if he signs a shorter deal so he can bank hard on a second contract and sets his demands that high.

Part of me thinks he's just incredibly savy, as he can't actually believe that and he's just driving up his son's name recognition. Another part of me thinks he's actually bat-sh*t crazy. The shoe-deal seems a bit odd, just because the middle sons isn't even enrolled in college yet and the third still has a couple years of high-school ball yet to play. If the other two are as good as Lonzo, then it could be a bargain for whatever company lands them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, I've just never cared for parents dominating headlines over their children, could have been Lauri Markkanen's pops and I would have felt the same way. I dunno, I grew up with some insanely over-bearing dads while playing sports and it always drove me nuts.

SMC Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Critical loss tonight. Knicks needed that. They have a 4 game road trip which they'll likely lose all of them. Only 2 lose out of 4th lottery seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 After the Knicks started 14-10, they've gone 13-32, which is incredible. The Knicks, Suns, Magic and Sixers all have tough schedules down the stretch but are within 4 games in the loss column. That's going to decide lottery seeds 3 through 6.

The only real mistake Phil made was resigning Carmelo The Knicks were a dumpster fire falling apart when he got here. It was a veteran team whose window closed and unless you get to sign Lebron James it takes 3-5 years minimum to rebuild in the nba Of the 4 teams picking top 4 in 2015 all 4 are basically in the same or worse predicament this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Bostonets, Lakers and Suns have locked up the top 3 lottery seeds, but there is still a good battle for the 4th spot between the Knicks, Kings, Sixers and Magic, all separated by 2 games in the loss column. Magic currently have the lead with 2 games up in the loss column over Knicks. Magic have 26 wins and Knicks have 27. If Magic can win 2 more and the Knicks none, the Knicks are in pretty good shape for 4th spot. Problem is that they're all losing at same time so Knicks cant take full advantage of this soon to be 0-4 road trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the dad will continue as a distraction in the pros, he won't go away. Drafting Ball will create a team circus environment, he'll make whatever team much better but never good enough to win it all and the father will not only remain the anchor or noose around his son's neck but for whatever team he plays for. With great regret I would stay as far away from the kid as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
