Meanwhile Fournier's comments yesterday:

"You want to spit on everyone. You have hatred," Fournier said. "Derrick Rose and I looked at each other and said to each other: 'What the hell are we doing here?' During the five-on-five practice, we were on the side like some prospects. Uncool times."

"If you want to trade me with a good return, why didn't you use me?" Fournier rhetorically asked. "I was coming out of a season where I was the fourth-best three-point shooter in the league. Why not take advantage of it? Now they won't get anything interesting and that's normal because I couldn't show anything."

I would stick 5 number ones in Mitchs back pocket so fast, give him a kiss on the cheek, a stiff kick in the rear, and remind him to pick up RJ and Evan on the way to the airport.

That's pretty fucking funny.

I love the image and am definitely in the Amen corner.

[facilitatorn]

Yup. Hard pass for what it would cost. He is a little better than Mitch though, I have to admit.

Come on, man, you can't be serious.

Embiid is a GREAT basketball player.

How is it you don't see that?

I see he is great. I have regularly watched him kick our ass.

As a guy getting a third of the cap is he a 65 game center or a 50 game center going forward? That makes a difference.

I was around for Ewing in his thirties. I know there are many ways to fuck up a team around a great center and that having one alone is not enough.

[facilitatorn]

Randle & Mitch and no more than two picks and only one of those unprotected is my best offer for Joel. If Philly wants to take less that is fine, no way more should be offered.

Pacers fucked us and Patrick up by taking Chuck Person one spot ahead of us, not unlike Warriors taking Steph.

In both cases we subsequently double fucked ourselves, by taking Kenny Walker ahead of Ron Harper, and Jordan Hill ahead of DeMar DeRozan

By all means let's trade away our entire team for a  brilliant but injury prone center who is good for 55-65 games a year, with an immense cap hit now entering his 30s

First, it's better if you make your point without colossal distortions. No one talked about trading away "our entire team."

Second, you sound more like a fabulist than a realist. You've seen the combo of Thibs, RJ and Randle for a few years now, but you're dreaming that this is the year they don't get manhandled in the playoffs (if they reach the playoffs)?

Wake up! They are who they are! And one talented and plucky point guard can't radically change that.

If you want a team that can fight for a place in the playoffs for the next 7 years, sometimes even getting to the second round, then cool! We're moving in that direction. Anything more is a pipe dream.

Meanwhile, we DO have draft picks and talented players and contracts to wield for someone transformative. So yes, I don't believe reaching for an immensely talented and impactful player is absurd, and I don't think the front office does either. 

[chipstern]

Again...

The idea that Embid is in play?

NONSENSICAL

Yes we have assets.

Yes Leon has a significant relationship.with EMBID.

Yes, when ambulatory, he is a difference maker.

We shall see.

However, wishing ain't fishing.

And the relentless drum beats of ClickBait Wannabees and professional rumour mongers ain't bringing JoL or OG to NY

[chipstern]

Dear Brother Elephant

My being a Doubting Thomas ain't keeping the Knicks from getting the impactful player of your dreams.

A competitive team not good enough?

Oh well.

[facilitatorn]

The pivot is not the problem on either end. Nor is rebounding. Nor is any aspect of the backcourt.

[lesterluv]

I can't even take it.

Cause you just had your second hot dog in a decade. Can't even imagine what real food tastes like any more.

To preserve a front court status quo that includes:

a mentally ill PF who delivers every other year.

an absolutely one way C who is more injury prone than Embiid.

sad crazy bitches.

a low hoop-IQ fifth year SF who can't shoot and has yet to deliver a net + season.

or maybe it's the picks.

and you don't want the mFn MVP, lol....

the craziest bitches I know. so beat down. can't even remember what it smells like. so happy for the crumbs that fall from Thibs butt.

[facilitatorn]

I had a deal for Embiid. In player terms it is Jules and Mitch.

Wait a minute. Combine that with my Raptors deal. Siakam for RJ and Fournier.

We keep the Nova Core, so carefully collected.

Embiid Hartenstein Sims
Siakam Roby
Hart Jefferies
Grimes DiVincenzo
Brunson Quickley McBride

It would be easy to see Charlie Brown Jr. joining Roby on the bench.

We would also still have the Obi trade exception to play with if we want to go above the minimum for forward depth. Or, and this is the afterthought, we could play Sims next to Embiid with Siakam at the three. That is still four out basketball, but where the opponents will want to bring a dental specialist to the game and provide wheelbarrows for the trip back to the locker room.

We would never make a draft pick again and our window would be now.

It is a full burn the boats situation. Does it beat Denver?

Also, the gods are never that nice to us.

[chipstern]

"And you don't want the mFn MVP, lol...."

In what alternative universe is Joel Embid in play.  I.mustve been napping.

Wouldn't be the first time

Appaently 47 wins did not soothe the  Bard of Broolkyn's blood lust.

Dawg will serve no whine before its tine

[facilitatorn]

I think we could get Luka Saminic from the Jazz. They have too many bigs who need to play.

The rights to Jokabitus and a bag of balls should get it done.
