    Re: The 2019 New York Knicks: Feel the Fiz

    We should be happy that it didn't leak. Maybe the front office is finally moving differently.

    Everything I've read says they'd been looking into this for a few months and it got serious the few days before the meeting so they were ready to pull the trigger once they got their answer.

    Side note... How much trouble would we get in if we signed KD, and his manager who tweeted last February "Imma run the Knicks one day" ended up with a job in the front office?

      I came here to talk about your last sentence.

      If the Knicks ended up with KD, Kyrie and Zion (someone just asked this guy if he wants to play with KD and Kyrie) this would have to be the most blatant rigging in the league.

      Can the NBA and its teams just stay silent on something like this? It's definitely going to generate a load of questions.

      Even with the Knicks dealing KP for what executives feel wasn't with its due diligence, there has to be a major concern regarding tampering.

        The tone of some of these articles is so bizarre. Like there really is a handshake deal already. When I saw one implying we'd give Durant's manager a job, I was like... This can't be OK lol.

        The problem for us is all the guys we're asking to come are in great situations already, so I figure we have to get one to agree to team up with another. That in itself requires everyone having a serious eye on leaving. I don't really think Kyrie will leave but who knows? Same with KD.

        The question for me is with these Mavs picks, if we win the lottery or get a top 3 pick or so and the other teams above us are just trash, are we in position to make an AD trade? I didn't think it was possible before without KP, but if we get 1-1, can Knox, Zion, and picks get AD? Is it worth it? If we pulled it off after the lottery but during the moratorium could we make it work with him and 2 max free agents?

        Edit: it looks like it works with the cap if we trade everyone not named KD and Kyrie including our first round pick next year for AD according to an ESPN article. Lol, insanity. Fun to dream.

          Tampering and collusion is going to be one of the main three issues for the next CBA. Teams are pissed and I don't blame them.

            Anyone else seeing all of this Kyrie stuff, and just already knowing about the KD drama, and wanting no part of this going forward? I can't imagine these guys on a team together.

              I’ll take KD, but I’m 100 percent comfortable with DSJ at starting PG next year.

                Re: The 2019 New York Knicks: Feel the Fiz

                I go back and forth on KD. I don't think I could ever root for him, but it'd be interesting for sure. Dolan locking MSG down like the Kremlin and kicking out reporters they don't like may finally come in handy. Just can't see him choosing here either way.

                There was a picture on Reddit where Steph and Klay were both open, telling the guy with the ball to pass it to the other guy. I envision a similar picture except its Kyrie and KD blaming each other for **** going wrong. Amazing how even after years of torture, the best case scenario is still one I have no interest in lol.

                  Re: The 2019 New York Knicks: Feel the Fiz

                  Here we go again.....Knicks selling "hope" and too many fans buying that jive. They've been selling "hope" for nearly 17 years, and they're still one of the worst-run organizations in pro sports.

                  Why would Durant or any top FA want to go from the penthouse to the outhouse? These cats know the deal about the nonsense at MSG. Even if NY does land two stars, you guys think our FO is smart enough to put the right pieces around them? Please. Show me the franchise that wins in spite of a bad owner/culture.

                    Random fan jersey mockups



                    Dont love the grey, do love the tile and number design.



                    These are sleek, and I love the token logo so I'm in on that, but we look too much like the baby Warriors in the color scheme.

                    I'm speaking both the Zion era and a rebrand for the Zion era into existence.

                      The top one might grow on me if I saw a version without grey. Brooklyn already laid claim to the subway tile and subway-inspired stuff, I wouldn't want the Knicks to follow suit there. Let them keep it. The bottom one is not my cup of tea.

                        Further reason to contract that franchise, I didn't even know they had done it, what a waste for all 14 of their fans. They only exist to piss me off.

                          Am I crazy for not wanting Kyrie Irving? It just seems like there's always something with him, plus the injuries.

                            You aren't the only one. I dont want him either. All sizzle. No defense and definitely is always injured.

                              I also want nothing to do with Kyrie. Give the keys to DSJ and let the man run the show.

                                If Kyrie is our #2 (KD comes) then I'm all aboard. He's a great #2, he's not a #1.

                                DSJ just isn't that good, certainly not now and probably not in the future.
