T0mShane Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 So, it sounds like Kylie is a done deal, and it’s being alleged that the Nets believe they’re getting KD, too. They just traded for Taurean Prince, who is one of KD’s besties, and are trying to hire Mike Miller, who is close with both Kyrie and KD. May also get Julius Randle, to boot.

He didn't seem particularly prepared for the playoffs. Russell bought in, but how many guys are going to? After they dump the guys that got them to this point players will be less likely to buy in and do the dirty work and possibly hurt their future earnings.

I hated seeing RHJ non-tendered and Demarre Carroll basically released. Carroll, in particular, was a great veteran presence.

Bungaman Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Tom, if all of the rumors come through, congrats - I think. I've been a Knicks first, Nets second BB fan since 1969. Highlights included the Knicks playoff games in MSG in the two years they lost, '71 and '72. Saw the Nets play in the Coliseum during the regular season on and off before '75 -so I got to see Julius and the great teams before the ABA merged and Roy Boe The Dick sold off Julius to close the merger deal. I always thought that intact Nets team would have won an NBA championship. Since the Nets are further ahead of the Knicks (and they don't have Evil Dolan lurking in the tunnels beneath the Barkley Center,) these deals for high priced vets might work out OK. I actually feel the Knicks should sign NO tier one FA's, and go for guys like Randle and DeLo, and keep building. The Knicks have repeatedly shown that they cannot resist the shiny bauble and overpay (see Amare S, Carmelo, et. al. forever,) so I don't trust them on anything. They will probably stink for another season, Dolan will lose patience, fire everyone but Steve Mills and once again hire Isiah Thomas, Pariah In Chief, to run his idiot farm yet again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettyBoop Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I loved watching the Nets this past season. Young and scrappy bunch of guys who all bought into the system. Taking a page out of the Jets playbook, Atkinson is a PG (the QB of an NBA team) whisperer. DeAngelo had a pretty bad rep before he played for Kenny. If the same can be done with Kyrie they will be pretty good in '19-'20. In fact, better than last year. The supporting players of Caris, Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Jarrett Allen, Kurucs, and Prince is a nice group. I also have hope for Nic Claxton. Any day the Red Sox lose, the Yankees win and the Knicks remain irrelevant is a great day for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gqxluvx Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Cant believe Marks and Atkinson pulled this off. There is risk, but the fact that two marquee FAs chose Brooklyn is so awesome.
