Official '24 NYK off-season thread; Dua Lipa sues Dolan

[biggie62]

Absolutely insane to me that we’re trying to trade everyone BUT Julius Randle.

Don’t think anyone really wants him because of what his stats and personality say about him.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Randle probably doesn’t have that much value at this point.

Randle probably doesn’t have that much value at this point.

He doesn’t, you’re absolutely right.

But that’s not the reason we’re not trying to trade him.

 

[keko jones]

OG is a FA while RJ is signed for 4 more years at about 26 million per.

With the contracts handed out to Bruce Brown and the likes, I'm not even sure why people want RJ gone so bad. This is a ******* steal. Imagine trading RJ and picks for virtually the same player only to have to pay him.30 to 40 milli going forward.

**** makes no sense IMO!

 

[dmvisrnb]

At the end of the day, OG doesn't move the needle for us. And RJ doesn't have the offensive ability or defense for that matter, to be that guy for us. Why are we judging IQ solely off his first playoff appearance? This wasn't RJ's first playoff trip I would hope he would do better the 2nd time around, unlike Julius. His 19 a game looked like a breakout party simply because of how awful Julius was.


We need a wing that can score and also be the secondary ball handler, because Brunson is an elite catch and shoot guy and shouldn't always have to have the ball in his hands. RJ has made progress but he will never be able to do those things for this team. I say we hold on to him until we can package him off for a real star. I would have been cool with the PG trade if he didn't want a 220 mil extension .

 

[keko jones]

Just for conversation sakes .....

Lets say RJ will be as is ..... who's out there right now better for 25 million a season for the next 3/4 years?

What's the hurry?

 

[keko jones]

oh you mad

What year is your Benz and how is it? How much you selling it for?

 

[Coupé It]

 

[keko jones]

Can you stop the players from trying to recruit their buddies? I wouldn't mind Bridges at ALL!

 

[pr0phecy718]

Head big like nba jam lol

[big j 33]

I believe in RJ

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I like that we tried to get brown

 

[Coupé It]

I like that we tried to get brown

Same. Would have been a good move. Just couldn’t match that money.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Throw some shade on a dying graveyard…

Spoiler

Hot n sticky like the forecast. Perhaps some storm water infested posts here n there too. Just hold your nose & keep scrolling if it’s gets too crazy.

lol, jk maybe it’s just me

I did have to take down the RJ avy outta fear of a major move involving the young bull. Don’t feel like he’s still totally safe but just run it back please for now & get those 50+ wins.

Deuce getting buried was not in the plans but the Nova mafia is running things in the backcourt for now. He is a pro and not some gleague backup as previously, dim wittingly, assessed.

Unless he’s the patient type, some1 else is gonna be thankful for his services soon. He’s got the chops and by all accounts the dawg is in him. Thibbs wanted him so there’s a little hope there I hope.

Shoutouts to the team scouts these last few szns too.

 

[keko jones]

Is crazy how Bruce Brown goes from the guy "Why didn't you pass it to KD" to this hot commodity. LMAO. Good for him!

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Kind of off topic:

Am I the only one that feels a way about that 2 billion dollar sphere in Vegas?

Aren’t there much better things we could do as a society if this kind of money can just be tossed around for a round TV?

I know that super rich people spending enormous amounts of money on dumb zhit isn’t anything new, but this one kind of irks me a little more than other stuff I've seen.

 

[ballinsam23]

Our SL roster is really really bad. Watched the 1st half, and none of these guys are NBA players.

I remember Obi and IQ dominated last year.

 

[x Buddha Bless x]

Got no hope for next season until there are multiple trades.

 

[keko jones]

The way Keels has turned out, trade all them 2nd rounders for a bag of chips

 

[pr0phecy718]

We traded obi for 2 2nd rounders. Still annoyed by that trade.

 

[ballinsam23]

Horrible trade. Especially since those are some bad 2nd round picks (40-60 range)

Would’ve rather held on to him for another year and lost him for nothing.

There was no reason to make this move, unless we have a trade done before the season starts.

 

[njavier03]

Maybe the FO wanted to do Obi a solid and trade him before the season so he can have a fresh start. Considering how this org has treated some players in the past, it would be a good showing.

 

[ballinsam23]

I could see that.

That’s really on Thibs though. Benching Fournier when we need shooting, benching Cam indefinitely when he could’ve def played spot minutes here and there

Randle really shouldn’t be playing 35-40mpg every single night.
