They love stars like Westbrook in NY. Do you think there is a better package they can get back for (including) Randle?
Westbrook is an awful basketball player and Knicks fans know that. He would not be welcome. And why trade Randle unless you get something great in return?

I don't know if they think Randle is great anymore at the price and length of his contract. It may just be a very Norman Powellish situation for them. There's potentially 116.5M left on it over the next four seasons and I don't think the option year at 32M will sting that bad because it's after the new TV deal should kick in and the cap should shoot way up but his 2024-25 salary of 30M is a pretty good chunk if they think he'll be playing like he did this last season and not the season before.

That being said, I would love it if I was a GM and I could get him for a contract that expires at the end of next season and a future first. I don't know if he's a great fit with Nurk but I might be willing to try him out if I was us for let's say Bledsoe, Winslow and that Bucks 2025 first rounder. I wouldn't characterize that as great but I do think it's what the Knicks will be looking at if they decide they don't want to keep that contract on the books.
 
The Celtics look like they are just bigger, stronger and tougher than the Nets right now.
Seem to just be mauling them at times.
 
Jaylen Brown might not have that superstar look at me persona. But that dude is as bad as anyone in the league. I remember when people thought it was a huge reach by Ainge to draft him where he did. I’ve been a huge fan since year one.
 
boston's defense is incredible. i thought they were gonna get cooked by BK. Guess not.

and simmons apparently targeting Game 4 is a joke. You sit out all year with a mysterious back problem only to show up for the final game of the season? I stanned so hard for this dude, but he doesn't have it.

It would be pretty impressive if he came back and they went on to win the series.
 
Remember when people looked at the Raptors funny for taking Barnes instead of Suggs?

What's crazy is that we could really use a player like Suggs. Our dribble penetration is just Siakam right now with FVV ailing. Ujiri and Webster had a ready-made guy at a position of need and nobody would've questioned the pick. They have brass balls.
 
I understand Ja is a very special player and has impressed many but can he take a game over and will a win like Dame can?

He is 22 years old. Not this year, but he certainly is better than Dame was at 22.

Why did you think a 7 seed that barely made the playoffs would “cook” Boston? Nets are rotten to the core. All hype, no substance. I know KD was hurt but when they lost 11 straight, that is all you need to know. If you can’t win one of 11 games without your star player, you have no coaching or depth and will be eliminated from the playoffs quickly if you get there.
 


That dumbass Henry Abbott strikes again.

WTF??? You can’t have some rando running on the court/field. What if they have some kinda of weapon or biological device? There is a time an place for protest, please do it legally and be respectful.
 
What happened to KD the best player in the world? Looks like he needs more help. Funny how LMA and Griffin signed with the Nets just to win a ring.
 
I can only hope sometime soon we can be in a competitive series like this grizz/wolves one.
