Every time you think the Knicks couldn't possibly sink lower, they hop in the DSRV and go another thousand feet down. Can't wait to see them fall to 5 in the lottery.
this happens. Great now we have room for 2 max contracts. I already know what's going to happen. All the stars will go elsewhere and the Knicks will panic and give good but not great players huge deals and we will be fighting for the 8th seed. Why not use Porzingis to get Davis?
Think about this- the Mavs got Luka and KP for Trae Young and taking on bad contracts and a pick between 10-15 this year and whatever garbage the send the Knicks.
And the Knicks use a 22 year old all star to dump 2 shitty contracts they gave out.
It was. I'm disappointed, but not in a hysterical state over this. It will be fun to listen to all the media folks who said KP was too injury-prone to lead us anywhere do the 180 and say we're doomed forever without him. It all boils down to this summer - a high pick and all the money in the world. It was all gonna boil down to this summer, one way or another.
but are you guys mad at the compensation, or that he was traded at all? The haul sucks but he seems like a problematic player both in attitude but more importantly, health.

During his meeting with the Knicks, Kristaps Porzingis indicated he wouldnt re-sign with the Pelicans if dealt there, per sources. It doesnt matter with Dallas acquiring KP, but along with Lonzo Ball, thats two young players not thrilled about possibly playing in New Orleans.

Oh great it's like yeah, what's your solution to the player not being attractive because he might not sign some place. Dump him for a shitty return! Fantastic logic!
They can probably flip Jordan and Matthews before the deadline. Smith, I don't know what the plan would be with him.
Step one of *what*?! This seems a lot like the underwear gnomes in South Park.
Since Jordan is an expiring, and Capela is gone for most of the season, don't you think the Rockets will come calling with an offer of Knight plus filler and a couple 1st rounders? Granted, they aren't premium picks, but they have trade value too (see Boston).
Boston itself might like an inside presence who doesn't hurt their cap situation going forward- but would likely be wary of dealing with the Knicks who could use the cap space to steal Irving.
The Knicks could also use either player in a 3-way deal to give another team an expiring in exchange for picks and young players (and smaller expiring deals).
Porzingis was always crying or bitching about something.... and is ALWAYS hurt. A 73 big man with lower limb injuries just dont magically get healthy over time.
If they turn and trade Jordan (hello Toronto) and get a pick somehow.. this will work out.
DSJ may not be your cup of tea... but he will be the man on that team which is good for his mentality.
Think about what you're saying: you're putting faith in Perry, Mills, and Dolan, the Three Stooges.
Yup.
C'mon Greg - at least Timmy's gone!
Figure a LATE pick
👎🏽
I'll see this thing through, but I was nearly done with the NBA to begin with. This may push me over the edge...
LOL! Although to be fair, they might be the best basketball players the Knicks could get to play there at this point.
This trade is so bad, it even ruined THAT for me! haha
He'd circle Matthews and Jordan buy-out targets.
BUY THEM OUT!
BUY THEM OUT!
BUY THEM OUT!
However this went down - most likely a hit and run by Dolan and his two stooges - I really hate to see KP go.
This. Every time the Knicks get a glimpse of hope, the city awakens. Then Dolan and his crew ruin it.
And the Knicks use a 22 year old all star to dump 2 shitty contracts they gave out.
This team is going nowhere. A complete joke.

Sources: Full players involved in Knicks/Mavericks deal:
Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr., Courtney Lee, Trey Burke to Dallas.
Dennis Smith Jr., Wes Matthews, DeAndre Jordan and likely first-round draft pick compensation to New York.

or kd told them open up 2 max slots and ill bring someonr with me
No it's the Knicks, they will finish with the worst record but lose the lottery and pick 4th in a 3 player draft.
Agree but it sounded like the only goal was get rid of Lee and Hardaway to free up cap space.
They have been trying to get rid of Dennis Smith.
I'm puzzled and flabbergasted.

KP has a lot of talent, but has missed 140 games over 3 years.
That being said, this is a major risk and probably will not work out.

has me convinced that the Knicks did not get max value for KP. If they were going to trade him he should have been in a deal for Anthony Davis.
Agree but it sounded like the only goal was get rid of Lee and Hardaway to free up cap space.
Couldn't they have done so by giving up another player like Frank, Knox, or Robinson?

So the key, to me, are those two guys.
If they're not bought out, that signals an absolutely incredible fuck up by the Three Stooges.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....yeah, that's happening.

Exactly right. Fuck this franchise.
