We went through a  17 win season for you.
We suffered through your season ending injury last year.
We knew it was a 2-year sentence in purgatory.
We waited for you to come back and you can't commit to us?

FUCK YOU ASS CLOWN

I guess we know which camp you're sitting in. You've bought into the FO bullshit and spin. Question is how the fuck can you trust Mills?If there is an ASS CLOWN in the org, its Mills. He should've taken that ridiculous THJ contract he signed off on and shoved it up his ass if he wanted to make it disappear.

I have to believe the Knicks did what was best for the Knicks.

What in the history of Knicks management over the last 20+ years would lead you to "have" to believe that?  Has anything they have done over that period been what is best for the Knicks?

You can choose to believe it.  If you want.  But Howard Beck, for one, says the trade talk wasn't a demand.  That it came up in discussions.  Leads me to believe that Knicks management could have/should have been able to convince Kristaps to give this a shot.  He hasn't played for Fiz, hasn't played with Knox, hasn't played with their upcoming top draft pick...This wasn't a requirement.

I can't think of a team that traded their franchise player in his early twenties and then went on to greatness.  Can you?  And to do that just to clear cap space?

I have to believe the Knicks did a trade that will turn out to be dumb.  Thats the history.  And thats what it looks like now.

Finally the voice of reason.

Not sure what is more maddening, the Knicks trade or Kam and others embracing yet another reboot and change in direction.

Sure Tim is overpaid and so is Courtly, but it took KZ to move them?!? You move KZ and get very little back?!?
There wasn't a better deal out there?


Therein lies the rub...We got very little back for an All-Star with rare and unique talents to fix Mills' biggest mistake in THJ.

This team doesn't have much to offer any FA at this point in terms of BB goals so we're right back to 2010 all over again.

So what's their strategy....Hope?

Did they just mortgage their future?  If KP signs and gets injured again that pick in 2023 could turn to Gold.

Luka and KP could become an Amazing Duo.  But even if they do...  is that enough?  Can they add more?

Or the mofo becomes one of the top talents in the NBA for the next 15 years and its looked back on as one of the worst trades in Knicks history

5 months? So color me confused.

Are we rebuilding or are we back in the FA race? Who in their right mind comes here and plays with our current crop of players? Wasn't KP the real appeal of coming here.

We already know Mills is a no-nothing idiot -- Perry is right on his tail it seems.

Leadership? These cats have changed their course yet again after preaching patience.

This is a new low. They flat-out panicked and were fleeced by the Mavs. Draft picks? Fucking meaningless when they come from a competitive team.

KP had the power here.  Just because he was heading into RFA didn't make him ma shoe-in to stay here. His agent said as much.

"The most important question here is this: What do you really want to achieve in your career?" Janis Porzingis said in an interview in Latvian with Sportacentrs, according to a translation by Eurohoops.net. "Because money - if Kristaps performs at least on his normal level, is gonna come. We are more focused on some other values and not just to quickly sign a new contract so we can collect the money. That's definitely not our goal, so we won't be feverishly counting minutes or counting points. You can't escape the reality and the Knicks must also see that.

He had threatened to play his fifth season under the 7.5 mil qualifying offer in order to become a UFA.

Had that come to pass we would not have received good offers knowing that any team that wanted him would just have to wait.


He left because he didn't like the direction of the team. This is all on the guys that you said "don't fuck around". We are running out of rebuild plans my friends. Whose to say this doesn't happen again with the next great young talent that we draft when he realizes he has nothing to gain by staying with a lost franchise that can't get it right? 

Max FA's - KD, Irving, others? You guys are smoking crack.

Mills and Fizdale don't F*** around.

Complain to the press about starting? Well now you're benched.

Don't like the direction of the franchise? Goodbye, you're traded.

That's actually a message sent to the rest of the players.

Is that what it takes to "change the culture"?


Scaring them into getting in line. I mean they are kids so maybe not a bad idea.

um, yeah - except these "kids" are pretty much all alike. They don't give a fuck and know the team needs them more than they need the team. Not right, just reality.

This smells like panic. Perry is bonafide moron. Hoping that they will get max FA's is an old recipe that's given us nothing but food poisoning.

Your NY Knicks...the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Mills doesn't fuck around you say?

Wasn't it Mills that gave Hardaway that stupid contract in the first place and could've drafted D Smith Jr ahead of Frenchy?

Mills is a corporate suit douche that has done nothing to improve this franchise
