Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

He was too slow a decade ago, can't imagine him finding a spot in today's league.

He was developing a nice little jumper his last season at UConn. I thought he had a chance to be a good pro. Way off on that one.

Dude was an absolute monster in College Hoops 2K8 though, back when height played way too big of a role in how good players were. I swear his rebound percentage was like 75%.

I just had a flashback to the days of dominating the Big South with Kenny George, guy was so big the game would reduce his height by default after the first season

Per Marc Stein

The four teams Porzingis had on his wish list of trade destinations were the Nets, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors, according to two people with knowledge of the list who were not authorized to discuss it publicly.

Zach Lowe on KP wanting out, from the Lowe Post

I don’t think he was psyched about playing with Durant. I don’t know how directly that was verbalized to the Knicks, but I’m confident that it wasn’t something that was his Plan A, he wanted to be the face of the franchise.

GUYS WHAT IS GOING ON? I'm talking about Durant btw, not worried about that other guy.

Durant is going to the Knicks. Don't know if Kyrie joins him but I see KD in NY next year. He cares way too much what people think about him and what better place to try and redeem yourself and become the ultimate hero other than in NY?

Or, what destination makes the least amount of sense for an insecure dude with burner Twitter accounts than the media pressure cooker of NYC ...

The NY media isn't nearly as bad as it's reputed to be, especially now that Isola is gone from the Post.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

Isola was at the Daily News before the layoffs, he would be disgusted for you saying he worked at the Post with Marc Berman, who followed the horned snake to Dallas for his opening press conference and was basically shut down by Mark Cuban. Isola's now at the Athletic, where he continues to **** talk the Knicks, and has been replaced by his sidekick, Stefan Bondy at the DN, who basically simultaneously kicked up all the stuff that made Kyrie get mad and the stuff that made KD start hiding from the media.

I think they earn their reputation.

Lol.

I’m not saying a word. Told y’all I’m done if that happens.

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I have a hard time understanding why KD would want to leave GS. Maybe he legitimately feels that his "legacy" won't reach the peaks he thinks it should as long as people consider his current path the "easy road"... But then again it's not like he couldn't have not known that before he went there in the first place right?

I wonder how going to NY changes that though. He's only 30 still and could put together another probably 4-6 year run for competing for chips as the best player on a contender, but how is that going to change anyone's perception if he fails? Especially if Golden State is still better than his team. He seems to care a bit to much about the media and outside opinion, and has openly stated how toxic it is the way it follows LeBron, how would he deal with something similar shifting on him?

Re: 2018-19 Transaction Thread

I said back in the summer that he was leaving(Think me and King have a wager on this too).

I just get the whole “Going from the worst team in the league to the worst team in the league” thing, especially from someone who has said “I just wanna win and play ball and not deal with the outside BS”

I mean they are the clear inferior NY team right Pack?

Anyway, IF it were true, who told Porzingis and the Knicks management KD was coming there?

That would definitely warrant some tampering investigation

Difference is I don't think Isola has a press pass anymore so if he's ****ting on players he isn't doing it to their faces. In today's world there really is no way to escape media criticism if you're a star player. Hell KD got the treatment from OKC yet they don't have the same rep as NYC media.

We don't. You didn't want to man up on the bet. Unless we just doing a friendly bet? Either way, he not going to the Knicks cause he ain't leaving Golden State.

Maybe it was KD that just told KP that he’d like to team up with him and just assuming it would be with the Knicks since that is where KP was at the time. If that’s the case then there was no tampering.

My question is, if that was the case and KD is interested in playing with KP would he still consider doing that in Dallas? He did mention the other day (out of nowhere) that he’s glad KP was able to get to a better situation for him in Dallas. Would he actually consider Dallas? They can pay him and besides KP they do have a budding superstar that will get him the ball in Luka.
