Lebron going to LAL changes everything.

I am all in on this team competing to make the finals this season.

I don't think so. There's only one ball and 5 guys can play at once. They're good no doubt but definitely beatable.

Agreed. They are the favorites no doubt but if KP comes back full strength by the end of the regular season I would love that matchup.
Let's see if Fizdale can backup his talk and get these guys to compete the way Stevens does his guys.

STOP!!!!!

Philly and Boston will be beasts..

Boston played without Kyrie and Hayward.Philly played without Fultz and they have cap..

You want to play to be the 8th seed with Kanter and Lee leading the charge??

Fail :thumbsdown:

Kyrie + Knox + Kawhi + KP

And maybe Nitty.

The west is stacked.

The process is in process.

The Celtics won't be the same if smart and Irving aren't there. It's Tatum and that other dudes team. Role players are bound to bounce.

Plus another draft pick for us. It's Fiz Kp Kyrie Knox Kawhi... that's formidable.

Nitti's lockdown defense on Kyrie will be enough to convince him to come to Ny.

I just read that the Knicks will target Miles Turner next summer. I'd love that.

Which is interesting...........since he has the same strengths AND weaknesses as KP (both are tall & mobile, can shoot from behind the arc, BUT are BOTH BAD REBOUNDERS at their height)

The knicks need Kawhi Leonard, who has requested a trade to the Lakers, but with Lebron signing they have essential told Kawhi a homecoming is not in the cards. I doubt the Clippers have enough for Kawhi and doubt if Kawhi wants to go to the Clippers.

Kawhi needs to force his way to the Knicks, and only mention he will resign with the Knicks. If I'm the Knicks, I will only offer Kanter, Mudiay, and Kevin Knox or 2019 first round pick. You can also be patient and sign Kawhi next season but the Knicks need to clear cap. If they are in a position to sign two FA after clearing cap, you wait and I think the Knicks fans would appreciate patience. If you can only sign one, then attempt to make the trade for Kawhi, bc your not trading for Irving. The knicks need to choose b/c Kawhi is available and is a top 5 player in the NBA. You acquire him in a trade, you can say without a doubt that Kyrie Irving signs. With these two being the cornerstone, nothing will be in our way.

I wonder why the Cavs didn't pick up MPJ in the draft, did Lebron sabotage that pick.

San Antonio likes those Euro's. So maybe Frank and Kanter or Frank and next year's first.
Damn it feels good to be a tankster.
