Kawhi & Green got traded for Derozan & Poetl

Toronto got a strong team for one season

Spurs, I would have hoped for getting better. Personally I would have loved a deal containing Ingram and Hart, Ingram and Randle were my favourite lakers last season and imo the biggest factor behind their success. They won close games because of these two more than anyone

However DeRozan has gone there richer and has the potential to go up a level imo
Yeah I wasn't very impressed. Neither was DeRozan it seems, the Raptors' leadership appears to have basically lied to his face about his future at the franchise. Hope since it's not the Spurs' fault it's a short-lived sulk and he can settle pretty soon, he has had depression issues in the past.

Hopefully the 2019 first round pick will make this a short term loss for a long term gain.

Pleased with this but still no Inside The NBA on UK TV, it's baffling.

That show is so great! Actually think it was better without Shaq, but Kenny, Charles and Ernie are so good it still works.

Why couldnt it have been James Dolan to say the racist shit? We need this fuck out. Then again, this piece of shit survived having a rape culture in the front office and kicking a Knick legend and fan favorite out of the Garden for good so he’s have survived that also. I hate this fucking franchise with the white hot heat of a thousand suns. Fuck James Dolan. Send Dolan to the moon. That rat fucking garbage musician fuck. I dont want to discuss this latest collosal fuck up of his other than to say he has destroyed the only good thing this franchise had in YEARS. Fuck him.

I amazes me that Dolan just literally just traded the best asset the Knicks have for salary cap space. He did it in a trade that would have been available in June or July. KP is a restricted free agent and they got nothing in return.

Aside from having passed on the chance to draft DSJ to draft Frankie Smokes it remains that DSJ is maybe, MAYBE the 6th best player on the Mavs (a team that is currently not going to make the playoffs) and he was the best player the Mavs gave up.

If Dolan wanted to piss off the fans and get something in return offer KP to the Celtics for Jaylen Brown and the Grizzlies pick (giving you 2 shots at Zion in the draft and a talented wing) and would have at least gotten something in return.

This is 100% Dolan betting that he can convince Durant and Irving to sign with Knicks in the summer and if he doesn't get them (remember LeBron and Wade to the Knicks was supposed to be a thing) then the Knicks are truly fucked. I am betting on them being fucked...

The knicks have been the biggest laughing stock of the most petty league that brings laughs every fucking week. It’s absolutely absurd. There is a less than zero chance we’re getting Irving, KD or even drafting Zion if we get #1 overall as we’re the Knicks and we’ll find a way to fuck it up. We’re fucked, period. Dolan needs to go.

I saw a stat yesterday that the last 1st round pick the Knicks have signed to a second contract was Charlie Ward.

Charlie Ward was drafted 23 years ago. In 23 years....23 YEARS.....they were either unable to agree to a 2nd contract or the player was not worth a second contract.

Fuck me....that is astonishing.....Zion was 5 years away from being born the last time the Knicks resigned a 1st round pick. How....just how the fuck do you fuck up that many decisions.

Happy with that. Warriors winning again would have been a rough look for such a fun league. Although if KD had been healthy all series, it would have been very different. Warriors definitely needed him.

Refs ruining the celebration by calling a foul was hilarious. Great insertion by them:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The refs were awful all game, the two free throws Steph got at the end was crazy, he tripped himself.

So the Nets are getting KD, Kyrie and Deandre Jordan....that locker-room will be.....something else. But if they can get KD to come back healthy then you get Kyrie who is a perfect second fiddle to a star and that team can really do some damage especially in the east.\

In february the Knicks traded Porzingas (who is going to resign with Dallas) and went full tank thinking they were going to get Zion and then sign KD and Kyrie. They didn't get Zion, KD and Kyrie go to the OTHER team in NY, Kemba is signing with the C's, D-Lo is reportedly deciding between the Warriors, T-Wolves and the Lakers, Tobias Harris is going to re-up with Philly and now the Knicks are meeting with.....Julius Randle. Wow...just....wow.

Dolan had a shit show going on but this....this is a spectacular shit show.
