"Death to the Pessimistic State of Mind" - Nas Voice: NYK '23 Pre-Season Thread

Ya’ll acting like we have any influence over this trade. This FO doesn’t give a fukk what the fans think, or media pressure. Everyone saying “don’t do it” doesn’t matter because they actively don’t give a fukk.

Breh this has been the path the team has been going under the fo . Build assets to trade for a star

I’m not feeling this Mitchell trade I just once want them to go thru a full rebuild. Like let Quickley/Obi/Barrett/Sims/Grimes play a shyt ton of minutes see if they can gel and become a strong team. More then likely they flop and you know what you make more draft picks until you got a roster.

I rather that then suck like they have for 25 years with no thoughts of a rebuild.

Also I would just like for one time for them to seem like they have a plan in place. Brunson is a good player but do they just pick him up to pick him up? It never seems like there a direction. Like was there any thoughts on how he fits this etc. Doesn’t seem like there’s much thought in the shyt they do.

In a heartbeat, but I would trade Randle and rose for a wing in this scenario

Knicks have no interest in trading RJ or any budding player for anyone per SI. Well I feel a little better.

 

[Peter Popoff]

This trade is unnecessary as shyt and is a back step. For all Ainge is asking for, I would even keep Randle.

[Peter Popoff]

Of course it wouldn't.

I can't cross the paywall, but Macri summarized in a couple of tweets.



The gap between hours and weeks is pretty damned wide. But he makes it sound imminent in general.

If Randle is unlikely to be included, that means IQ, Toppin, picks and I become a jazz fan.

We'll have to wait and see. It sounds like a game of chicken between our gm who has been conservative with assets to the point of fan frustration and a gm who famously would rather sit on assets than feel like he didn't win the trade.

I'm kinda rooting for a low-ball KD trade to go through asap because I think it'll increase Rose's leverage. But that's PURE speculation.

no u wont

Grimes also off the table. I wonder if the Knicks also protecting the Polish kid if they have to give up IQ and McBride. Thibs protecting Randle so Obi gone.

Is Sims protected because he just signed an extension?

"although Randle not likely to be included...."

I don't know if we can't dump him or the if FO is committed to this guy but wow lol

Yes, this is a weird situation. Not helped because Ainge just robbed the wolves.
