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

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

I am praying yall get Murray. I don't want Atlanta to sell their future for 1st round exits. Ya'll can have that

4 picks is a fukking lot. I'm having second thoughts too.

i don't disagree and i hear you... it's just that it's gonna be the same old story for NY where they are searching for a #1 option and won't be bad enough to draft a guy who can be that and won't probably have enough room in the cap even after the increase to go get the guy..

So that leaves "disgruntled star trade scenarios". if you have Brunson you not gonna wanna go get Dame probably. Beal probably staying. Zion staying. Durant staying.

Just not sure where it's gonna come from.

The problem is we probably are already too good to tank. IQ, Grimes, RJ, Obi and Mitch isn’t going to be a bottom 4 team. So instead of the 11th pick we’ll be around the 7th pick. Unless you propose we sit our young guys for g leaguers and at that point what the fukk? It’s a slap in the face to the fan base and bush league.

nikkas want to tank for 3 more years to get magic beans. Losing begets more losing. How many bad seasons has Riley had in Miami? You need to build a winning mindset in your organization.

No matter if you tank or not tank .. you ain’t making the playoffs anyways

I think you vastly underestimate the impact of having quality PG play. Rose's body just cant do it as a starter and IQ doesn't have the mindset to be a PG

Which one of those 10 teams that y’all were worst than in the east are y’all better than with Brunson? Hornets? So ok signing a 100 million dollar player moved y’all up to the 10th best in the east .. congrats

Mitchell Robinson resigning on a 4year $60 milion deal??

Now this is proper allocation of money

This is a good contract

Jalen Brunson turned down that $55 million extension from the Mavs because he knew the Knicks was gonna come and double that..

If not the Knicks what team would give Brunson $100 million??

Knicks are negotiating against themselves just because Leon Rose likes him and his dad

That is what he is worth.

U need to look at Brogdon, Rozier, VanVleet deals he is in that tier.

I know you right its the market but every year I still act like I’m surprised

Nepotism and tampering because of it

Yeah. I'm still iffy on how Silver and other teams are board with this stuff.

Murray rumors look to be picking up steam and apparently we’re the most active team on the market. Also seeing we have interest in Mo Bamba.

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

We definitely positioned ourselves the past week+ to get creative with free agency and trades.

I refuse to believe Randle's value is a net negative like this and there aren't teams interested in him at some value/cost.

Pick and pop big and a strong defense and playmaking guard? Those are like my wishlist skillsets although I'd also like to see more roster clutter cleared out before we stack the logjams up.

Its gonna be real interesting to see how Brunson and Randle play together because Bamma ass Randle thinks he’s a superstar and a playmaker
