Their direction is up. When you are at the bottom, there is nowhere to go but up. My father, long time Nets fan, was just laughing about how Knicks fans thought they were going to get the Brow. Some thought they were going to get him and keep Prozingis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some thought they were going to get him and keep Prozingis I actually thought KP for AD(with some add ins, of course)would of been the trade since the Pelicans didn’t want to send him to the Lakers, I didn’t expect the Mavericks to jump in on KP though. I’m a fan of Dennis Smith, he should do well in NY. Some other good pieces for them, too. a Luka Doncic and KP combo could be deadly though.

The organization is terribly run. The fanbase is also delusional. Bad mix. Porzingis was never as good as everyone thought he was in NY and was never netting back anything significant. Being big and smooth doesnt compensate for bad shooting and poor rebounding. The league saw this, the Knicks fans never did. The Knicks front office is also woefully incompetent and is being run by the same guy who oversaw the Eddy Curry trade. Phil wanted to deal KP like two years ago because he was already a pain in the neck without the cache to back it up. Dennis Smith is a shoot first point guard who cant shoot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallinPB Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think it was a good trade. KP hasn't shown he can stay healthy and they clear up cap space for next year where they can sign two max contracts. Also, they get a future 1st along with a high draft pick in the upcoming draft. They can turn this around very quickly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so far removed from basketball, but I don't remember anything enjoyable about the Knicks since that Linsanity month, and that feels like a really long time ago now. I remember that Knicks/Lakers game was on during a date I was on, and I'm now married (not to that girl) with a 3-year-old and expecting my 2nd kid in a few weeks. So, the last time I remember anything enjoyable about the Knicks had to be like 7-8 years ago. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the lowlife Knicks leaked that stuff to make KP look like the aggressor. You're telling me he demanded a trade and an hour later the Knicks finalized one? That's smoke. 15 minutes ago, Patriot Killa said: I actually thought KP for AD(with some add ins, of course)would of been the trade since the Pelicans didn’t want to send him to the Lakers, I didn’t expect the Mavericks to jump in on KP though.

I just don't believe a guy with his height who relies on agility and quickness can recover from an ACL. I would have loved AD, but the Pels weren't going to give him up for a big guy coming off an ACL and only a 14% shot at Zion. Not enough. Luka and KP is gonna be crazy to watch.

UntouchableCrew Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 It's pretty simple -- they've pushed all of their chips in on 2019 Free Agency. For this to work they basically need to sign Durant and Kyrie. When they sign Kemba Walker and Khris Middleton, I might abandon this franchise forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol good thing I’m a Portland Trail Blazer fan and I don’t have to deal with the ineptitude of the NY Knicks. Nope, only have enough patience for the Jets.

I don’t know if they need Kyrie or Kemba necessarily. Smith Jr is an up and coming PG What the Knicks need is for Alan Silver to wake up and realize hoarding all his league’s superstars in the Southwest and west is killing his tv ratings (down 26%) Rig the draft in the Knicks favor for friggin once and get us Zion or at least RJ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the Knicks had two real assets worth anything, and they just traded one for the guy that they passed on for a another dude that they're about to cut or trade for ten cents on the dollar. And the dude they're getting isn't very good either. If they were going to move Porzingis it should have been for picks. I can't believe they went this way with it. Actually scratch that, I can absolutely believe they went this way with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
