Just got an injury exception for Leur I believe. Lee and oquinn for stamina and contracts 2 years or less
they could accept KOQ or Beasley right into the exception without having to take $$ back. Of course that's the case with any other player making in that range. Additionally, teams over the luxury tax may even attach picks to players to drop into that exception. In other words, our vets are ok but I don't know if they're good enough to get anything substantial back in return.
At the ridiculous prices, now I dont know if I want to.
Prices should be much less ridiculous now. Only going down
Is there a better approach than just watching StubHub? I gave my eye on a couple baseline tickets. Theyd immediately be the most expensive tickets Ive ever purchased, by about double. Would be really nice if they plummeted.

The Knicks are finalizing a deal to send center Willy Hernangomez to Charlotte, league sources confirm. Hernangomez had been unhappy with his role in New York. The deal was first reported by Yahoo Sports.

Sources: Charlotte is sending Johnny O'Bryant and two second-round draft picks to the Knicks for Willy Hernangomez.
The worst part- if these are 2018 picks, it will be Cleveland's second rounder and Houston's second rounder. In other words, end of the 2nd round picks...
becomes an adequate defender, and his offensive game explodes in 2-3 years, and he becomes an all-star lol.
Even if he doesn't, and is the exact same player he is today for the rest of his career, he's going to be a helluva lot more valuable than Johnny O'Bryant and whichever jokers they choose with those picks.

Please someone try to sell this trade to me. I'm not even the biggest Willy fan, but you just traded an all rookie center locked in a contract for the vet min until 2020. At worst hes a solid backup. Not to mention hes best friends with your franchise player who just suffered a crippling injury.
Explain to me how the Knicks aren't dsyfcuntional again? I can't wait to watch the youth movement of Jack/ Lee/ Lance down the stretch...Here comes another pick between 10-12.
How fans can be better general managers that these executives. Mills went to Princeton. What. Amoron. Willy was locked in for 2 more years on a cheap contract

We talked about this yesterday. It doesn't matter who is the face of the decisions. From every front office executive that we've had for the past 20 years, the one constant is James Dolan.
Most likely the knicks will be finishing this season without 1 future piece in their starting lineup. What a disgraceful franchise.
Don't forget the Knicks gave up a 2nd round pick for Scott Perry...
Oh, see, that's why they needed those second round picks!
What would you rather have? The Knicks 2019 2nd round pick or the Hornets 2020/201 picks? Because I would argue the Knicks gave up more for Scott Perry then the Hornets gave up for Willy.
Explain to me why the Knicks needed to trade a 2nd round pick for Scott Perry again?
Well, Steve Mills has been in the Knicks organization forever and has never made an intelligent move and Perry is the guy responsible for building the worst team in the NBA.
So to answer your question, yes. They are complete and utter morons.
Mills is not a basketball guy. How he is in charge of basketball
operations just shows you how clueless Dolan is. Graduating from Princeton and looking good in a suit dont translate to making good basketball decisions.
Letting him sign Hardaway as an interim was just idiotic.
I thought Perry would be different, jury is still out.
I liked Perry and was intrigued by the things he was saying earlier in the year and thought there was finally a guy in charge who had a plan to do it the right way. Well that didn't last long. More of the same again. Another guy seduced by the quick fix.
when Phil was getting killed for listening to offers for KP.
This past year's #3 pick (Tatum), Brooklyn's pick this year, and one of Boston's young players on top of Frank and their own lottery pick and all of a sudden things look very different.
Phil would've taken it. I wanted no part of trading KP, but if Boston offered the #3 pick AND this year's Brooklyn pick, you'd have to do it. No chance that was on the table.
to just cut the Knicks out and not care. And yet something always pulls me back or gives me a small sense of hope. And every fucking time I buy in long or short term the Knicks shit all over me and everyone else.
I just can't take this team anymore. I'm sure I will be wagging my fucking tail all fucking excited in about 700 days or so..."we have cap room...we have KP back healthy a decent core of young hungry players"----and then the entire team will get hurt in a charity pickup game or something...they just can't get things right.
I'm more Knicks depressed today than i've been in a while. They constantly push that envelop too. Just when I think I can't get any angrier or frustrated the Knicks raise the bar.
Oh and you can bet your ass the Frank will suck balls when all is said n done. Cmon...a drafted PG reach an elite potential here with the Knicks? Get real.
Yeah, this a rock bottom type of day, no question.
KP is a star. People can debate his future, his ceiling, etc., whatever - the guy's averaging 23 per night and leading the NBA in blocks and he's only 22 years old. It's crazy what he's accomplished in 2.5 years. Elite scoring and elite rim protection and he's a few years away from entering his prime. Just have to pray to the basketball gods he comes back strong.
once per year. I'm numb to it actually. It makes you appreciate any success that you have with your other teams(sorry mets fans). In the grand scheme of things, this could be a blessing. The reality is that we should be focused on asset gathering for 2020. Our focus for the next 2 years SHOULD have been to get the best possible picks and as many good young players as possible. This should help that. So assuming KP comes back 100%(most guys do this day and age), we should be in position to compete in 2020 if we make the right decisions now.
That being said, I know the owner doesn't share the same patience and we will probably try our best to compete the next few seasons and make the playoffs.

If I'm being brutally honest I really think my pure "love" of sports has taken a major hit with how bad my teams generally are. I still obviously "feel" it when the Giants are good and it's a big game etc but I really think "how bad" my teams routinely are has taken a toll on my real passion for the teams.

Enes Kanter will not play tomorrow vs. Toronto after having the cut in his mouth re-stitched. Tim Hardaway Jr. is available to play.
Dude was moving around like a 90-year-old at the end of last night's game. I'm not a huge Kanter fan, but you can't knock his effort - he gives it all he has.

And we once were somewhat optimistic about Perry.

It's what the market is for him but, I guess my feeling is why not just keep him rather than trade him for this.
tells me that they are prob planning on keeping Kanter tho
Don't forget the Knicks gave up a 2nd round pick for Scott Perry...
