Lin and Mase are both great calls for underdogs.

I am hoping for a Frank /Burke PG backcourt that last one year.

then of course i hope Irving leaves Boston to join NY.

EK's money will be needed to sign Irving.

Fair enough. 

Only one problem with that.

Everyone seems to be assuming that Kyrie is a lock to come here. 

They are building something in Boston. 

Why would Kyrie want to bolt when he could be competing for the EC Finals for the next five years? 

Knicks are going to be better.  Celtics are already there.

a)  its a black man and Boston - you never know with that

b)  If they dont win - if there is any chemistry rift ..... curtain #3 becomes appealing

c)  If they do win......well,yeah, Kyrie likely takes the victory lap and tries to be the new LeBron in the East (multiple finals, titles)

Brad Stevens - YOU are on the clock, sir.

He isn't considered a true flat-earther by the orthodoxy.  More of a johnny come lately attention seeker.

Training Camp Opens September 24th, And Cannot Come A Moment Too Soon. 

Meanwhile, Ludicrous Conjecture Runs Rampant. 

Kyrie Irving & Jimmy Butler To The Knicks?

Some AssHat In The Post Just Took A Photo Of LeBron With Durant And Kawhi, Among Others, And Turned That Into The Lakers New Big Three For 2019-2020.

I Mean, COOL YOUR FUCKING JETS. 

Why Would Durant EVER Leave Golden State?  Seriously. 

Oh, Well.

New challenge.
Chance to play with LeBronco.

Durant fits in well with GSW, but he would with LAL as well.
GS is going to have to re-sign Klay next year, and then Dray the year after (while Iggy comes off then).
So it'd also make some sense with GS cap management.

Sure it's not likely, but how many of the past dozen or so all-stars changing teams have been. 
Kawhi bailing on SAS. 
Kyrie ditching LeBJ. 
Hayward not sticking around to be The Man on Utah. 
Griffin traded to DET, after signing a huge contract with LAC.
Butler to MIN.
Chris Paul to HOU.
Etc.

Lotta left-field stuff.
Kawhi heading to LAL wouldn't surprise anyone.
And then perhaps KD gets intrigued.

Kawhi?

Pehaps.

Durant?

Please.  They have established a winning, dominating culture in Golden State, where Kevin got to really be The Man without having to be THE ONLY MAN.  Chemistry counts for something, and he will get much pesos con El Warriors.

Don't forget that Draymond, Stephon, and Klay all tell KD they have 3 rings to his measley 2.

The pettiness and insecurity of NBA players.

ESPECIALLY Kevin "burner accounts" Durant.

I agree with Bo.  I could see Durant leaving Golden State.  Especially if they lose.

I think they hold tight as long as they are still winning chips. If GS takes four or five in a row, it’s not likely we see Durant leave in the middle of that.

To add a Knicks musing, the lineup of Kanter, Vonleh, Knox, Hezonja, and Frank has a lot of mismatch potential. I revisited some Mario video. We may have to play the kid. Vonleh, Knox, Hezonja, Hardaway, and Ntilikina would be a small ball version of that lineup. It could also be fun with Mitchell replacing Vonleh in the small version and Kanter in the bigger lineup I started with.

I’m hoping Fizz finds (and sticks with) groupings that groove.
