I hate I was raised a Knicks fan. I'm assuming we're clearing space for FAs who won't come anyway. I'm not as mad as other, but this team is so damn poorly run. The one thing I will give them is, can you trust a 7'3 guy who's coming back from an acl? I get it, just wish we could have gotten a bigger haul. Also, funny that we're basically admitting we fucked up taking Ntilikina. I won't believe this team is taking the right steps until Dolan sells.

But you chose to be a Knicks fan, right? Lol. Either way, it's reported that the Knicks are clearing space for not one, but TWO max contracts. Apparently, it isn't a foregone conclusion that Kyrie will re-sign with the Celtics and who knows the deal with KD.

The West is STACKED!

 

[redrum52]

East is so fucking trash

 

[Oldfaithful]

I don't think I've seen a trade this dumb since the Pau Gasol trade

 

[Oldfaithful]

Oh look this thread is dead. Because no one cares. We are just all waiting for the inevitable.

Fuck you Durant.

You can thank the Knicks when we even out the league and reign supreme!

LIAR. Dolan will never let that team have success!

 

[Dom McRaven]

If the Warriors winning another title guarantees Durant will leave them this offseason, let's go Warriors!

Oh my Lakers are burning up in FLAMES

Oh my Lakers are burning up in FLAMES

it ain't over yet. The league NEEDS its L(ebron)akers in the playoffs.

 

[gtalk12]

Oh its OVER OVER.

The narrative that the league is willing Lebron into the playoffs is CRAZY. The NBA doesn't fuck with the Lakers, especially Magic.

They should have known all this before trying to sell the house on AD and been patient.

Yeah I'm convinced it's over too. LeBron's "playoff mode" has been deactivated since he's AGREED to a minute restriction. I know that you're a Lakers fan, but if he did with my Blazers, I'd be PISSED.

I am pissed now even though I understand the want to take care of the body considering the season is lost.


Since the beginning of the new year, this whole thing has been a mess thanks to that trade attempt.

 

[allblackraven]

Mavs @ Denver, epic ending.

If my former country didn't split, Luka and Jokic would now play for the same national team.

 

[redrum52]

I'd like to shoutout the Knicks for the season sweep.

Big things next season!

 

[Oldfaithful]

I just found out today that they missed...

And the amazing thing is I just don't care.

There's a lot of "interesting" storylines this season.

The Bucks having emerged as a good all around team and a legit tilte contender: Warriors would kill them
Philly has a nice little team with one of the best starting fives in the game: Warriors would kill them.
Denver has emerged and Jokic has had a bit of a breakout year: Warriors stomp
James Harden is having a Kobe Bryant 2006 esq season: The Rockets can't compete with the warriors.

Outside of Christmas I haven't watched a single game. There's no reason for me to.

But whatever.

 

[redrum52]

Rockets could beat them. Could see then struggling with the Bucks and Celtics as well.

 

[Dom McRaven]

Rockets could beat them if Harden shows up in the playoffs.
Nuggets would get stomped.
Blazers would get stomped.
Thunder? I don't know about the Warriors, but for some reason, I could see them taking on the Rockets.

Sixers don't stand a chance if Simmons can't develop a jump shot.
Raptors and Bucks could make things very interesting. Against either of these teams, I could see 6 or 7 game series.

Rockets could beat them if Harden shows up in the playoffs.(He won't, he never does)
Nuggets would get stomped.(no doubt)
Blazers would get stomped.(no doubt)
Thunder? I don't know about the Warriors, but for some reason, I could see them taking on the Rockets.(Westbrook plays hero ball and we all lose)

Sixers don't stand a chance if Simmons can't develop a jump shot.(He won't)
Raptors and Bucks could make things very interesting(Giannis is a beast but I doubt it. Same goes for Leonard). Against either of these teams, I could see 6 or 7 game series.
