Lmao I forgot all about this music video and how The migos was beefing with Joe

I have supreme optimism but at the same time doubt
We clearly know what the next pieces are:
High level scorer and playmaker
Ideally we get both in one player
But that means we need a superstar and idk if any are going to be available who fits that mold

Welp. At least we never have to see Elfrid Payton in a Knicks jersey ever again

This season was so fun.

The team really exceeded expectations. We’re going in the right direction, I’m not worried about this team

I’m already over it tbh

Now I can take pleasure in seeing the Hawks get their s*** pushed in.

Man Trae entertained me a lot this series

You might as well get a trae jersey since he y’all mayor now

Atlanta niggas love NY and vice versa

Atlanta sports so poverty let em have this, next year we back

We were wylin after that 1 win lmao

If we can somehow land Dame without giving up RJ or IQ, do it. Our best shot is if he actually wants to come here cuz you have to think Portland would trade him wherever he wants to go.

Damn Loopy hella washed now

There's no way we're gonna get Dame without trading away one of those guys. We got nothing else to offer since our draft pick gonna be mid

I'd trade IQ I guess if it lands dame but oof that'd hurt I think he will be a special player

Anybody else here from upstate?

June 6, 1946. The greatest basketball team in the history of the sport was born.

New York Knicks turn 75 years old today

Gotta long post, but f*** it it's the offseason and there ain't s*** else to talk about. I certainly don't wanna talk about those rumors of Kelly Oubre to the Knicks...smh. Anyway, I'm still cool with us sticking with Lonzo in the off season, but how is this for another option as our point guard. Collin Sexton?

Apparently it's some beef going on between Sexton and his agent and the Cavs front office and coaching staff. There have been reports of anonymous coach/coaches from the Cavs organization talking about how Collin Sexton is a selfish player and doesn't pass the ball, which is why they switched him to SG from PG. Personally I never understood this critique because Collin Sexton has been passing more this season than his first two seasons. From last season he had 465 points off assists. This season he has had 623 points off assists. His assists have also gone up from 3.0 to 4.4 per game. Nothing too glamorous for a PG I'll admit, but to say that he doesn't pass the ball factually/statistically makes no sense. We also gotta see who he been playing with. The Cavs been having him play with either bums or rookies and sophomores. He's been passing more as a SG than a PG and the team still been ass.

I say all this to say, I think we have an opportunity to get Sexton from the Cavs for a steal. Cavs are definitely gonna be on that lottery carousel for the next couple years and after those next couple years, Sexton is definitely out of there. I say we can possibly strike while the iron is hot, get Sexton for Knox and Frank and a couple of our late first round picks. Depending where Cleveland lands in the lottery this year those picks can be used for them to move up in the draft and get a solid player. Maybe even some good accompanying pieces if they happen to land Suggs, Cunningham, etc via landing in the top 3 from the lottery.

A starting line up of Sexton, IQ, RJ, Randle, and Mitch is a nasty line up that gives us a fast scoring backcourt, and a strong frontcourt of RJ, Randle, and Mitch. Depending on their offseason improvements we can have IQ or Sexton easily rotate between PG/SG, they'll always have somebody good to pass to get a bucket. We'll have solid spacing as Sexton is a capable shooter, can break down a defense, and has good off-ball movement. We can have RJ, Sexton, and IQ going nuts in transition since we'll have some f***in speed for once. We'll still have the option of using Randle as a point forward if Thibs decides to continue to implement that and he'll have three good options to pass around the perimeter. Gotham Lobs to Mitch from IQ, RJ, or Sexton can be a consistent thing as they're all more than capable passers (regardless of whatever tf Cleveland's coaching staff is on about Sexton). Our defense isn't taking too much of a hit if it even will since Sexton is already a competent defender. And best of all, which I feel is the real kicker here, trading for Sexton allows us to save big money this off season which we can put towards building an even stronger bench and keeping guys like Rose, Burks, Noel.

I'm not against the idea of just staying the course and going with Lonzo, or possibly even trying for Lowry, CP3, or Brogdan (though out of all those options Lonzo or Brogdan are preferred). But being able to get Sexton while he has two more years on his rookie contract not only quickly upgrades our potential starting lineup, but it also opens up our cap space to add solid depth to our roster. When it comes to competing in the playoffs it's not just your starting line-up but how deep your roster is as a whole. As we have seen very recently from the Atlanta Hawks.
