    KD forced his way to the Suns. How did they manage to get all that?

    they will be in cap hell for the near future, but you dont give up this kinda future draft capital if you're letting top talent walk.

    I doubt it, but if so, have we got a Timelord to offer them...

    Knicks are clear 2nd team in the East and might be able to give Boston a run for their money. The rest of the field is a big step back.

    Bucks future is really uncertain - they have no ability to add talent except for their 2031 pick. Orlando/Cleveland/Indy will be fighting with them for HCA.

    Woj is only good at ACTUAL news. When it comes to speculation he's as dumb as the rest of us.

    Is this the most likable Knicks team in a generation? Ever?

    We need to do that. The OKC way is the way.

    Knicks can just try to draft Ware at 25. I don't think they will miss Hartenstein that much. They have Robinson too.

    Brooklyn has their own 2028 pick its just they also have a swap available with Phoenix.

    I'm not sure on Brooklyn 2027 swap they had given Houston - I'd imagine Brooklyn got that back as well - in which case Brooklyn would control every one of their own picks in full for the next 7 years.

    But now OKC (and Brooklyn) have ALL the picks and they won't give any of them to us.

    This is elementary / high school days for me. Attitude Era.

    Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin 3:16, The Rock, Bret The Hitman Hart, Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Dude Love / Mankind / Cactus Jack

    Idk if it's an age thing but I feel that was peak WWF

    Austin's intro is fitting for the Woj Bomb

    Now, let's get some Blazer-related excitement. We cannot be using all 4 draft picks tomorrow without making any moves before the draft

    Yup we need to take that path - just get as many FRP for any of Brogdon/Grant/Simons/Ayton as we can.

    Eventually I'd love to do what the Knicks did and overpay for an allstar giving up 4 future FRP. But we need to get a star or two of our own, and build up those picks so we are able to strike at the right time in a few years.

    This is so contrary to the whole spirit of sports. Imagine a parent explaining to their Nets fan kid
    "No really, this is great! Oh, the team's going to be just terrible for the next 5 or 6 years - I mean just completely awful. Isn't it great?"

    In a couple days there will be twenty eight more 2031 unprotected picks that all become available to trade or swap. Every team except NY that just sent there's out.

    The Nets were terrible last year while trying and ended up with the 3rd pick - but they didn't get to keep it as that got routed to the Rockets.
