YoloinOhio Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 That's true and it can certainly happen. I like Brown's game quite a bit and loved the way that he battled in the playoffs. Tatum has a chance to be really good as well. His offensive game is really polished. I don't know where hey go from here. I suppose that they could take a run at Giannis but it won't be cheap. Davis isn't going anywhere unless Cousins leaves which is unlikely. If that ever happened they be looking for Tatum, Brown, the 2 firsts next year and the Memphis pick in 2019. That would gut the rebuild. I think that they stand pat and keep drafting well. never thought there was a chance in hell for Davis. That's a guy a team never trades, imo.

Mike in Horseheads Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 there is really no hope at all for 27 or so teams the way it's going... Sadly what you say is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cousins left thought I could see them considering it. Although the owner is 90 and in win now mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team might not be playoff material today but he's a star, the centerpiece, and a guy you do not let go because they don't come around every year and if they do, you might not be in position to get him.

Mike in Horseheads Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thankfully the Knicks help make the Nets not the dumbest team in NY. If I understand the Hardaway offer correct, they traded TH to Atlanta for a player they traded to get Derrick Rose. Now they offer him a $71m offer sheet and if the Hawks let him go the Knicks need to let Rose go to get under the cap and they are back at the same point. Did I hear this wrong?

The team might not be playoff material today but he's a star, the centerpiece, and a guy you do not let go because they don't come around every year and if they do, you might not be in position to get him.That's why they made the Cousins deal and paid Holiday all of that money. They have to try to build a winner now as they have him. They have some flexibility next year and some options. They can't try to wait out the Warriors (similar to OKC) they've got to try to win now. If they are a 4 or 5 seed (realistic) they may be able to add that 1 more piece next year. There have been all kinds of whispers that they are trying to trade for Bledsoe now and try to get Wall next year. Boogie has been doing the recruiting. It feels unrealistic but Wall didn't take the super max. If that happened Calipari would be the candidate to be in charge. Again, it feels like a stretch but that seems to be their "plan" moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Gotta say though, I am getting pretty pumped to see what this team can do next season... I loved Rondo too, but that is a road they probably won't go down again...he is a good player, but without some older vets to keep him in check (like KG and Pierce) I am not sure he is a great locker room guy. Love his game though...he and Glenn Davis are two of my sentimental favorites from that era... hearing Rondo may go to the Lakers. Can you imagine Rondo, and Ball Sr. together? James Posey? Eddie House? That team was so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to contain the others and score a ton of points. Not even sure who defends kyrie now without Bradley. Always liked Jeff Green though!

row_33 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Sadly what you say is true Bill Simmons has a bunch of great podcasts recently on the problem, a lot of blame is on short-term huge $$$ contracts which punish teams if the player is good. A lot of the blame is on dumb management as well. The NBA is the only game that has to input a "forgiveness clause" every few years for horrible deals signed that nobody felt were a good idea for one second.
