    We really did not have any way to get on that deal though, why are people complaining? We could never give Knicks what Dallas gave them which is virtually cap space for next Summer and may have been the only thing they were interested in.

    Deandre Jordan and Dennis Smith are solid players .....if you value defense. Smith was just a bad fit next to Luka

    I highly doubt they will keep Deandre even for this season. He and Wessy will both be buyout candidates.

    They drafted a PG one pick before Smith just last year! And then stuck him third in the rotation among their PGs to play Trey Burke and Mudiay instead. Such a stupid team.

    While that is mostly true, there are ways around that if you are creative, like trading CJ to a team with expirings as a 3rd team. Would've been tough though.

    I won't let many opportunities to bash Olshey pass by, but there was just no room in this deal for Olshey to wedge his dumpster into and catch debris

    Yes, but I don't think trading CJ for essentially a year of KP is all that worth it.

    Yeah. We used up all our cap space with marginal players and taking on bad contracts. All that's gotten us are first round knockouts. If you don't think big in this league you go home. You can't be afraid of risk.

    I'm not saying that is worth it, just that there are technically ways to get what NY wanted.

    I’m not mad Olshey didn’t get in on this trade, I’m mad more trades continue to happen and he continues to do nothing. I can’t even know that hes doing his fucking job when we haven’t made a legitimate move at all in years

    I'm all for trashing Neil but this is one deal where I don't think I wanted us getting involved on either side.

    His biggest moves to upgrade the roster in the last two years (since Nurk) was signing Seth Curry and Nik Stauskas.

    Tell me I’m wrong
