No love for Nerlens in the Top 10? That low key UK slander
Might put Nerlens after Gobert depending on team need.
Woulda been easier if he actually had a rookie season and it wasn't this year.

Probably more of a LI thingI'm 10 mins away from the city and I'll never claim or rep NY. That's a Joe Buddens type of move

Is it a fact the Knicks will have a top 4 pick? Is the season over yet? Is there a big difference between 4 and 7 based on what we've seen from the current rookie class so far? The Knicks have Derek Fisher, not a huge upgrade over Scott. Melo will be 31 next year, 6 years removed from a Western conference finals appearance, and coming off surgery too. Melo has never made the Finals. How can you consider Early a role player, that's like me mentioning Robert Sacre right now. Who's to say Calderon will be there? The last two sentences you added have nothing to do with the offseason, that's all after the fact. Not trolling, just trying to see what difference of situations is.
If you're comparing Melo - a guy who had one of his best statistical seasons last year to Kobe coming off a torn achilles - this isn't a real discussion.
I don't really get what your point is. The Lakers were in a fine spot going into last offseason but Kobe had a lot of uncertainty surrounding him, their top 7 pick played one game and got injured, they hired the worst coach available (hired him really late into the off-season too, always a bad sign), struck out on all FAs and decided to rebuild another year. Everything went wrong. Yeah, the Knicks can suck next year. It can all go horribly wrong like the Lakers. But as of now, they have the worst record in the league and the team is only getting worse on paper (traded 2 guys for nothing, about to waive 1 starter, Melo is gonna sit out most likely). Top 4 pick is basically guaranteed. Melo can still carry an offense. (you got to be trolling with the WCF stuff) They have Calderon, a solid starter + THJr, a solid young guy under contract. Plus plenty of cap space. As long as Melo doesn't have a serious injury or turn heel and their draft pick plays more than 1 game - they'll be in better shape than the Lakers.

When you talk to someone from NJ or LI or Westchester and they say they're from NYC
That look they get when they realize you're actually a New Yorker
Yeah claiming nyc for no reason is corny

Thunder are now $2.268mil over the luxury tax according to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders.
They have to get under that tax before years end. If not, then they definitely screwed themselves going forward because they will be a repeater tax offender one year earlier and have even bigger consequences to trying to keep Russ/KD/Ibaka together.
Maybe they try to combine Reggie with Perkins to get a bigger name, but I find it tough that they'll get what they want for Reggie.
More likely Jeremy Lamb will get traded with Perkins.

If New York City is your main city hub
Why would it be fraudulent to claim NY?

All of this. DMV is a young persons term. I still get irritated when people say KD is from DC. Although we grew up 10 mins away in PG County.

Team need? They do the same things tho
I know that's why I said after Gobert because I feel he's a better rim protector.

You're talking about a bunch of stuff that happened after the fact which is why you don't get what my point is. I'm comparing both situations leading into the offseason while you're over here talking about Randle & his injury
