JJZFL 619 Report post Posted June 28, 2022 7 hours ago, CTMagicUK said: We're in this really drab period now where the draft is over, the picks have sunk in and I've watched/read/listened to all the high quality propoganda and now there's nothing more to talk about until free agency starts. Which I admit is only like 2 days away but Im excited about this team and I want more stuff to talk about. Remember that by the second half of last year everyone was hoping for the season to end as quickly as possible. Team was basically unwatchable. And we’re bringing the same group back plus Banchero and maybe Isaac. Be careful what you wish for. From my standpoint the next season can take as long as it wants to begin. Good chance we’ll be awful again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CTMagicUK 1,479 Report post Posted June 28, 2022 Knicks need to clear space if they're offering Jalen Brunson 20 mil a season. We should take Alec Burks off their hands for a first round pick. Burks is no Gary Harris but he'd fill the role as a vet guard for half a season at least and possibly fetch more at the deadline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are something else fella looool Definitely we would miss you if you wasnt on the board though. You bring the pessimistic side always and it actually balances things out.

In that particular situation, I'm a little more optimistic than him, as we're getting back with the same group, but with Fultz healthy and hopefully Isaac involved again. We're also extremely young, so a big factor will be coach development and summer workouts too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d love to be excited about the team at the all-star break. +1 to your post for good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because it ultimately means nothing but people treat it like it's the most important thing ever at the time. Like I guarantee if Banchero has a bad game the takes will be wild about how he was a bad pick and he'll bust. People have wild/bad takes all the time over lots of things lol. I like summer league, cause when your guys look good it’s always fun to wonder if they *could* be something. I honestly (until I started typing this,) forgot how awful Franz looked in SL last year, so ultimately it doesn’t mean anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I had them I’d actually play the lottery, and when I win I’d buy the team and make you the head of fan development.
