Bruce Harper Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Who is going to want to come to this team now? Unless they know something about his injury that they are not letting on, this would seem to be rash. Yes, I know its not football but I need to vent.

k-met57 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 the knicks have won 1 first round playoff series since 2000 in that time the jets have been to the AFCCG twice and won a bunch of playoff games that doesnt happen by accident...knicks gunna knick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Looks like he wanted to be traded. Better to get something than risking a polio pill contact offer I’m free agency which we get screwed. We can afford two max contracts. Pray that a Star is willing to take on the NY challenge.

prime21 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 With a talent like Porz, I wonder how many teams did they talk to before second to trade him to Dallas.

I think the biggest reason they did the deal was bc they were willing to take Hardaway which nobody thought the Knicks could move. Porzingis is also a 7'3" athletic skinny guy coming off a knee surgery who didn't want to be here. If the Knicks can land two max guys and add Zion, Barrett or Morant in the draft they'd immediately be a top 4 team in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was literally the only person who defended Phil for trying to get maximum value back for Porzingis Porzingis really embodies the weak fair weather millennial NBA superstar. The way he would gloat after losing games and act like it was never his fault meanwhile he’d either miss critical shots at the end of games, miss free throws or have bad turnovers I hope he tears his other knee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is this actually takes the Mavericks out of the Durant sweepstakes I’ve been hearing that other than Lakers and Knicks the Mavericks also had a legitimate shot at signing Durant because he’s from Texas and the NBA wanted to team him with Luka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and if I can convince Kate Upton to leave Justin Verlander for me, I'll be the envy of all my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil actually had a plan. Nice plan. Kurt Rambis and Jeff Hornacek. The outdated triangle offense. Didn't want to scout. Didn't appear to want to work. Face it, Phil Jackson retired before he took the Knick job. His plan was only slightly better than the Isiah Thomas plan. At least it'll be fixable, within a decade. Hopefully.

Philc1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Porzingis was caught running sprints at the gym. Fizdale asked what he’s doing he said he wanted to be traded really, I hope porzingis tears his other ACL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get Durant and Irving or another max guy, he would not be missed much, but they may need to get Zion in the lottery to attract those guys. If Porzingis does not come back at full strength from his injury, this is a great trade. (Two firsts and contract dump is a great yield for an injured guy.) If he (God forbid) reinjures his ACL or tears his other one this is a great trade. If, for whatever reason (injury or otherwise) Dallas stinks over then next couple of years, this will be an even better trade as one or more additional lottery picks could not hurt. I will reserve judgment, I guess. What choice do I have? I am too old to root for another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another angle no one has talked about is DSJ can be used as trade bait for Kyrie or Kemba in a sign and trade Get either one of those guys, plus Zion or RJ and the chances of signing a Durant or Kawahi go up exponentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
