I think he got a lot better with that this season. he talked about how much Johnnie Bryant was helping him meditate and s***

obviously you still have heated altercations but that’s just the nature of ball

I’d love this move… 3 years ago

Can still talk myself into it, he’d be nice next to Brunson

So sick of seeing teams get great players for scraps, can we get a fleece just once?

Rather Lavine honestly and I don’t really want him

Fair enough, I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Knicks socials posting draft day throw backs draft related stuff...ain't see nothing for Obi or Grimes. But they even posted Hartenstein and Sims

Yeah issa wrap for them here lmao

Then don't want him...? Trading for Zach Lavine is doing a trade just for the sake of doing a trade. That nigga ain't getting us beyond the second round, and we would still likely make it back to the second round without him anyway. There's no point in doing the trade he ain't moving the needle.

Worst part is we'd be stuck with his god awful contract for 4-5 years and he'd cost us rotational pieces. So we'd have his garbage contract on the books and he's gonna f*** up our depth. Why would we even bother trading for him?

you hypothetically say no to Zach for IQ, obi, fournier, and frps??

IQ stunk it up all playoffs, fournier a benchwarmer, and obi gets zero minutes

keep in mind our FRPs arent even that valuable since theyre mostly our own, and we in win now mode

I say no to Zach Lavine in general cause he ain't doing s*** for us.

Niggas wanna trade for a dude who been in the league for nine years, only been to the playoffs ONCE for the first time in his career last season and got swept. Get that f*** nigga(?) outta here bruh want better

well the bulls suck

How did this leak now, and not then?

First of all I’m not advocating for Lavine
Second of all, Lavine is on this team against the Heat and we beat them easily
The guys averaged 25 a game shooting basically 50/40. Took 7 3s a game which would drastically open up the offense and no team would dare run a zone against us.
This depth you’re in love with didn’t show up in the playoffs and f***ing cost us
The contract is s*** but we have two more years left of Brunson on a amazing contract before we have to max him and potentially Julius

IQ ain’t the nigga I’m trading lol

Lavine on this team against the Heat they're still beating us cause that nigga is gonna be food on defense along with Brunson and Julius. We're giving up the same amount of points we putting up. You saw what the Heat did to the Bucks and Celtics? He literally will not do s*** for us and I have no idea why y'all are attempting to convince yourselves of this. You really don't have to lmao

I'd rather two years of Paul George before we max Brunson than four years of Zach Lavine

He already said he wants to be a starter eventually

As long as Jalen Brunson alive and breathing that will never happen

The heat had out of body experiences from undrafted bums in every single series lol

none of them will ever shoot that well again

im saying man

we are one of the worst shooting teams in the entire league

as long as Lavine is healthy and conditioned and in rhythm come playoff time, the floor will open up for everybody. Brunson, and ESPECIALLY randle and RJ lives would be so much easier

(we also keep grimes in my hypothetical, who I think will get exponentially better)

this is assuming RJ goes back to his 2020 defensive effort. If he doesn’t, yes we will indeed be food defensively

And with Randle not having to carry the load nearly as much offensively, guess what he’ll have the energy to do? Rebound and defend his ass off. You can watch the film, a lot of Randle’s lack of defensive effort isnt laziness or some s***, he is deadass exhausted. (RJ is a different story. he got fatter and lazy and slower for some reason since 2021)

Yall can say it’s just a “fuck it” trade, but we are in win now mode and literally no one else is on the market.

we reportedly pulled out of Paul George talks cause they wanted too many firsts

A lot had to go right for us to be matched up Vs Miami, Lavine doesn’t put us over Milwaukee or Boston

I’d trade RJ over IQ tbh

Yeah so anyway like I was saying before f*** Zach Lavine

Cats writing up essays for Zach Lavine and he don't even wanna come here. Y'all ain't got no shame?

This leads to a bigger issue
Do all non CAA agents feel this way? Cuz we may looking at some hurdles then

It's more specifically dudes repped by Rich Paul/Klutch. Almost every player we tried to go for who was repped by Klutch basically pump faked and went somewhere else.

CAA vs Klutch beef is real apparently
