Chris Paul
« Reply #11400 on: March 07, 2020, 11:25:47 PM »

Another absurd false flag for Knicks fans to hitch their wagon to.

Media driven BS. 

STILL A GREAT PLAYER. 

But, I mean, get fucking real.

Oh, and why would Paul want to play for DOLAN?

And, yeah, let's bring back Melo and Amare, while we're at it. 

PS: Thunder leveraged Alexander and five, count them, five #1 picks when George pulled a Porzingis and leveraged his way out of Dodge.  The debate as to KP is ludicrous...he is getting better and better. 

Wanted out of Gulag Dolan.

There's a shocker.

Why do you speak as if Chris Paul has a no trade clause?

Because at.40 fucking million a year he ain't going any where he doesn't want to go.

The KPers still haven't answered -
just how good did they see us getting had we kept their whiny whitey?

One helluva lot better than we are.
9 more W's and we'd be tied with BKY & ORL for the 7/8 playoff slots.

But the key issue is we'd have a franchise player, a 2-way guy who can play at an all-star level.  We'd have a rim protector.  Orange & Blue Julius "Turnover" Randle wouldn't be our best offensive player.  We'd have a direction and know what we are building around.  We'd still need a starting level PG, but we'd know the type of player to hunt up.  For example a strong PnR G such as Tangelo would make sense next to KZ.  And KZ at the rim would mitigate Tangelo's defensive shortcomings.  Not saying we'd have him, but we'd know who fits and what works.  We'd have the beginnings of a team blueprint, regardless of this season's win total.

When you've bottomed out, the hardest thing in the NBofA is getting a #1 or even a #2 scorer for a playoff team.  Also getting a high level two-way player.  KZ checks those boxes.
 
Right now we have no building blocks.  And have to hope raw yute such as RJB and Mitch become legit starters, While Knox and Franc become solid role players.  And none of that likely gets you into the playoff convo.

The other issue is the Knix just jerked around Melo, Noah and KZ over the past 4 years or so.  These guys are all respected pros.  Players and agents notice this.  I think it limits the Knix attractiveness to FA's.  Guys tend to get tarnished in NYK and there are too many distractions and coaching/executive turnover.

Lastly, Chip's right.  OKC got Shai Guy for PG, we got Jr. Smith for KZ.  Knix always get 60 cents on the dollar in every trade.  We tend to give up the best player (TyC, KZ, MaMO, etc) and get back a bunch of change.

I think Barrett is a building block.

Knicks whiffed on the other two.  Sad.

Like I said - we werent going to be great with KP.  You confirmed this with your answer.

Big pick coming up.  If we go DRAFT BALL, SIGN BALL in next 4 years I will be fine with that.

Terrible game from Marcus Morris.
Couldn't make a shot, then couldn't guard LBJ late.
Don't know if anyone was talking on D, but twice MaMo gave LeBJ a driving land to the side where there was no help.

If I’m CP3 I’d rather spend my last pre-retirement years in NYC than OKC, given that I’m gonna be playing for a 7th or 8th seed in either place.

Knix would be crazy if they go for it unless they get multiple #1s for their dough. But who knows what Rose and our new lifestyle guru may be thunkin’?

SO what

Wanted out of Gulag Dolan.

There's a shocker.

That's not an excuse.   The free pass he is given in his forum is ridiculous.   He knew who Dolan was.  If he didn't want to be MR. 15-year Knick that's fine.  But he went back on his word and asked for a trade.  So he turned his back on all knicks fans.  Bringing him up after a good game is a weak move because there's no follow up when he plays bad. 
 
We accept Dolan because we have no choice.  He's like the weather.  Don't like NY weather? Either move or stop talking about it.  KP  chose escape rather than heroism.  A punk move.  Excusable in his youth and with his family in his ear. But a punk move nonetheless.  That's how i will always feel. 

Opinions here are bathed in groupthink and fueled by extreme recency bias.   That's why the lowbrow among us didn't get the point when i brought up Trier's two game PER average.  Recency is everything for these forumites...  why just look at your Gulag escapee tonight  ... 38minutes   3-17   0-5 from 3, 9pts 8rebs 4TOs in a LOSS.

If these forum knicks-truthers had an ounce of consistency they wouldn't thump their chests after every  good game.  I have to remind them of their trolling hypocrisy.
