Yea.. will be really upsetting to say the least. I doubt it though but will not be surprised either. We have to look at his agent as well. Maybe he is controlling the situation. Not sure what else could be delaying this and the fact they are quiet about it makes it more confusing. Yes.. it happened with Porzingis a few years back but the Knicks management were not holding info. They were clear and determined with the decision that he was part of their future. He was eventually signed.

There is also a possibility that our medical team saw something in his medical records recently that is not to their liking. Or maybe recovery is not going well and we don't want to commit to him. At least not just yet. Or it could be the other way around. He wants to play this year while the organization is telling him otherwise and Agent is not happy.

There has to be a trade in the works. Only thing I can think that will make sense at this point. Also, did the forum went down for a few minutes earlier?

ehh..Martin was a problem before. Not anymore. He is not longer making any team decision. He gave all authority to current management. Outside of what he did in the past with getting invlove in horrible team decisions, He has been very good in the community. The Devos family has been good for the franchise and players. They are spending money and they do want to win. There has been NO indication of them moving the team anywhere.

Hopefully he sees this as a motivation.

Didn't we just gave Jefferson the last spot?

You like toturing yourself. I was very excited while watching but then it came the last minute. Extremely dissapointed and anticlimatic ending. Felt like coming out from one of the Avengers movies.

Fran Vazquez sucks. Always has, Always be. Don't care about him

Who is that? Isnt he like 40 years old?

Not sure if the East is light years away behind. I mean, a lot of promising stars are in the East. Brooklyn will be really good next year. Milwaukee and Philadelphia are not far behind. I will say that the East is more balanced in terms of talent The west is all about the LA teams and now Houston. Just for 2-3 years. Other than the Clippers, I see, The Pelicans, Denver, Utah, Dallas and Portland with a brighter future in the West. I agree with you with the Pelicans. Love what they are doing.

Any highlights?

Hezonja played mostly SF when he started with the knicks and they have him at the bottom.

This guy is legit! reminds me of Mitchell.

OUCH!! Haha! So according to this study, the Piston center(Drummond),Grizzlies center(Gasol), Knicks SG(Hardaway)and Blazers SF(Harkless) are the ones at the top with the facial Beauty in this South China Lab study. Yet you have Vooch, Fournier, AG, Durant, Blake, Embiid, Nurcik, Valanciunas, Ingles, Mitchell and Rubio at the bottom. Weird stuff.

How I look the magic this season. People are bothered and upset that we didn't land any superstar. Well, We have a great roster already. Vooch and Ross are in their prime and will contribute immediately. I am EXTREMELY excited with FULTZ. This guy will be a jewel. He is the Star that people wanted. There is not doubt that he will be at the level of Russell once he comes back to 100%. AND HE WILL. We also have the addition of BAMBA. It is his 2nd year and has already showed improvement physically and on his game. He will be a great addition to the rotation. He also has a chip on his shoulder. I am also looking forward to see what MCW will give us this year. Last year, he was a pleasant surprise. I am sure he will work and play hard in order for him to stay in the NBA. Great option to keep as a back up when Fultz comes back 100% . If so, DJ wil be available in a possible trade down the road. Amino is a very realiable guy who defends and play hard. He can also shoot. Great addition to fortify our rotation. Give us more opportunity to rest Isaac, Gordon and Bamba during the season. Isaac and Gordon will be better. This two are hardworker and are not afraid to battle. I just hope that their 3 point shot also improves. IF we stay healthy, I see our team ending in the top 4-5 in the east. But we can also be at the bottom or out of the playoff run if we don't.

why? I mean, this year we can surely say that we DONT know who will be the champion. For the past 5 years, the NBA had only 1 or 2 teams that were on top. We knew who will end up in the championship game or at least we had an idea. The GSW and whatever Lebron team was on the East. Now... We cant really say. Lakers, Clippers, Houston, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston, Golden State and Miami(if Paul goes there)have all great changes. I even like what Nola and OKC has done this year. It is going to be very competitive. The East is better. Is better in the sense that the Top 8 teams(this year) can compete. I like how Milwaukee, Indiana, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Orlando, Detroit, Brooklyn put themselves in a better position. And I am not mentioning the Defending champions, Toronto. I expect a lot of more trades happening midseason. More teams are on the win now mode. For once, I can say, I am very excited. Excited that the LA Lakers didnt get what eveyone was expecting. Love the competitiveness and the fact that there are NO team with 3 stars in their roster, like last year. Lots of team with 2 max guys. Looking forward to this season.

I am not sure what exactly is your interest but I will also try the Outlet store mall(There a two major ones). There is a lot of famous stores with discounted items.

Got it! Lol

Why? Those two has been injured for the past 2 years with little playing time and not productive when playing. Boston fans are laughing about this more than anything. Whats next, IT?

They got jeremy lamb and TJ warren. You are not giving this 2 guys enough credit. Warren is a legit player. A line up of: Brogdon, Warren , Oladipo, Lamb, Sabonis, Turner, Bitadze and Holiday is pretty decent. Not to mention that they will likely sign Rubio in the next few days. They are as good if not better than last season. I see Brooklyn, toronto(with and without leonard), Boston, Pacers, Milwaukee, miami and Sixers above us. Then you have Detroit, Magic and Cleveland fighting for the 8 spot. I think we are going to be in the same position as last year. I said this with a grain of salt as I dont know exact status on Fultz and Bamba.

I understand your frustration but it is not the same. We have to understand how the market is at the moment and how the cap space works. 25 millions now is like 15 millions per year about 5 years ago. If Holford got 98millions, Portis over 15 per and the Lopez and Jordan above 10 then per year then you have to understand that 100 millions in 4 years is not a bad deal for Vooch. Now, I am not saying it was a good deal for us. It was a decent deal considering the market and hopefully a market friendly potential trade down the road. This can happen next year or 2 years from now. Fultz, AG, Isaac, Ross, Amino, vooch and Bamba is a good group to cheer for. I just hope we can trade Fournier for another decent SG starter.

Yes. You are right. I forgot to mentioned him. But I meant other than Them. No chances from last year at that position at all. What if Ross or Fournier gets injured. Who do we have at that position that can score. I saw somewhere that we offer the rest of the MLE to MCW. Not a shooter. We need to get a guy like Curry with whatever we have left. I dont think we have much or any left at all.

Really happy with the Ross and Amino signing. Not sure what to say about Vooch contract but will wait until all details are available. I am just hoping that there is at least one year team option in there. Indiana has had a really good free agency so far. Scoring TJ Warren, Jeremy Lamb and Brogdon to pair with Oladipo. A lot of good offensive players that can score.. Meanwhile, we have only Fournier as our only and lonely decent SG in our team. How is that possible? There has to be something else cooking.

It is sunday 12 am here in Russia. Will that count?
