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

[mvp_status]

He's better than RJ at the 3, plays really good defense and on a cheaper contract.

Brunson
Mitchell
Grimes
Toppin
Mitchell or Sims

Would be an over .500 team pretty easily plus you got 3 and a half really good shooters and 2 really good shot blockers/rebounders/alley oop dunkers. It would actually be a really fun team to watch @ISO.

He's not playing over RJ

He’s another piece in another trade.

So is Quick & Obi but neither one of them have been mentioned at sticking points for the Knicks not to pull the trigger (unless I missed it somewhere).

I know, I know. A good coach wouldn't play RJ and Randle as starters either.

Knicks are crazy though..

How the hell do they think they can getaway with a GM that NEVER talks to the media IN NEW YORK fukkIN CITY



They held a press conference introducing Jalen Brunson with no media allowed



The media is WAITING to crush them how long do they think they can do this?

This is why they can fukk off because it's not genuine anyway. Just a thousand questions on Donny and the Knicks are still under investigation for tampering. Media will be ok they're just bored

Open it up to the media so they can come in and ask a million questions about Donovan Mitchell and a bunch of other gossipy shyt? It's not like the Knicks were trying to duck a scandal, avoid some type controversy or do something problematic, it was a fukking player introduction. It was an event about Jalen Brunson and they let that man have his day. The media and fans needs to get over this, we have the rest of the season for reporters to ask that man whatever chatty patty shyt they want too.

This is a bad approach

You can’t operate like this in NYC

Knicks fans how would you feel if you could go get KD instead of MItchell? Would that take precedence? Or would you still prefer to have Mitchell? Because MItchell and Brunson is just a weird fit and someone would have to go at some point. You can’t compete for championships with a redundant and small backcourt.

They let Brunson have his day without bs from the media. They already in hot water about the tampering allegations and the media would've bombarded them with questions about Donovan Mitchell, someone who ain't on the team. Espn out here crying like a scorned woman who couldn't crash they ex wedding.

And the fan base cares less and less about the media everyday. We get better insight in this thread than half the shyt Berman writes about. Knicks Film School, The Knicks Wall, KnicksfanTV and the Strickland are all doing way better work. shyt, the best game analysis is the Coli’s own @storyteller

If the rumors of Randle for Westbrook are true, it’s because Obi is already off the table and most of us have surmised that IQ is as well since he’s basically been recruiting Mitchell.

We literally have been for 3 years now. NOBODY DIED.

We would need both. KD puts us in almost the same predicament as Mitchell does with less future upside.

I wouldn't trust KDs consistency with staying on a team.

He doesn't. You trade RJ, Cam, Fournier and picks for him.
