so phil is prob trying to move him for an established player(s) right, phil is old

so the knicks have jimmy bulter what next

whats a reasonable price for the zing

i love how major celebrated franchises like 'the knicks' and 'the bulls' have no idea how to assemble a basketball team in 2017

despite this guy's crazy tweet i think what chad ford proposes seems pretty fair

This would be way too much for Porzingis. https://t.co/NPJlD14d5d

If I was Danny Ainge I’d give the Knicks 3rd pick, Lakers pick and 1 player on my roster (Thomas, Bradley, Smart, Brown, etc.) for Porzingis

— Chad Ford (@chadfordinsider) June 20, 2017

those players are p crazy spread tho, like smart is p much a throw in where brown is a building block

how good will the zinger be kinda hard to say

year three should tell us much more

Growing skepticism among some execs in contact w/New York that the Knicks are serious about a KP deal. Price described as extremely high.

— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixYS) June 20, 2017

i mean

if they traded porzingis they should shut the franchise down

they should already be contracted for trying to run the triangle offense in the 21st century

funny how the nets had a chance to steal away a good chunk of the knicks fanbase forever, and they blew it even worse

that is really the best ny fans have two teams and nowhere to go

realistically stern shd force dolan to sell hes almost as bad a person as sterling

fanbases should be able to vote out incompetent ownership

fair

if phil could get the type of return chad ford is proposing, then they could save face, but there's no chance phil is enough of a negotiator to swing a deal that works in the knicks' favor. this is the man who traded for derrick rose and signed joakim noah to a four year deal.

its funny cause drafting zinger was by far his best move

omg that noah deal...

having crap ownership is the worst thing for fandom. nothing you can do and you're locked in for a long time! If Cohan still owned the dubs we'd still be winning 35 games a year, guaranteed. the day he sold was a top 25 day in my life tbh.

yup

if lebron wasn't from here the cavs would be in the same boat as the browns

fanbases should be able to vote out incompetent ownership

would be cool if all teams were organized liked the packers

if i become president i am going to nationalize basketball. and give power back to the people

its funny cause drafting zinger was by far his best move

it's true, he took heavy criticism for it too. i distinctly remember one of my coworkers the summer he was drafting shouting "HE'S GONNA GET DUNKED ON AND FAIL OUTTA THE NBA"

would throw you a vote xp

maintain the players shd just start their own collective league

Knicks have asked for Devin Booker and the #4 pick from Phoenix for Kristaps Porzingis - Ha Ha Ha. He is good but trust me not that good

— John Gambadoro (@Gambo987) June 20, 2017

zinger-booker straight up is interesting but yeah

would trust the career arch of booker more than zinger but zingers ceiling could be higher

having a very public bidding war for yr best player when youre not going to actually trade him cause youre asking too much seems not that smart

the knicks haven't had a team since 2000

fire phil jackson, preferably into the sun

phil jackson is such a fraud imo

a lot of coaches would have won championships with jordan/pippen or kobe/shaq

even bad ones

i would trade a lot to get porzingis including devin booker & the #4 pick

i would offer like booker and bender or something tho since the suns would need to offload their young bigs anyway

lakers 100% gonna panic trade for PG http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19689275/indiana-pacers-los-angeles-lakers-talking-trade-paul-george

smh

that's my initials

phil jackson is such a fraud imo

actually i think jackson was good for both teams but i think it's pretty clear that his worst quality is handling players, either clashing personalities or just managing drama in a way that makes it disappear. i mean the bulls' evaporation after their second threepeat is usually pinned on jerry krause wanting to remake the team in his own image but i think jackson's stoned blissful routine was the wrong one in a lot of ways at that exact time. not saying the bulls were liable to continue to win titles every year but there was no reason for them to turn into the worst team in the league for half a decade. i think a stronger coach who was better at handling issues in house would have perhaps kept that team together, i think a lot of what happened is on him. and the way he handled kobe and shaq, i mean imagine how Pop would have dealt with that. this is obviously ridiculous to think in a lot of ways about a guy who won 11 titles...but i think there were drawbacks to Jax that were always very obvious, but winning with 3 top 20 all-time players (and Kobe) plasters over a lot of holes in that resume.

yeah are people under the impression this deal is bad for...the suns??

xp yeah i just see his awful GM tenure and his insistence on running an outdated offense and it makes me question how much he really knew about basketball in the first place

is matt still defending phil or did he give up last year i forget

https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/the-plot-to-disrupt-the-ncaa-with-a-pay-for-play-hbcu-basketball-league

sure go for it

the main obstacle to something like that working is the ncaa will just start paying players the minute their business is threatened
