Chill out snicks. Don't fuck up the tank
These European players have won how many championships? Before you give me Dirk,
I will give you Hakeen Olajuwon who came from a country where they cannot afford to
play organised basketball... These European players are nothing more than role players
who cannot defend or rebound, and serve or facilitate screens and post up for 3s. The
truth is basketball is a black man's game.
He wants white players because he is a white man... Do not complicate a simple and plainly evident fact
I have said for a very long time that the man has wanted to create a 1980 Boston Celtics team of his own
This is a solid trade in my opinion and im a NY knicker fan. KP has been injured all throughout his Knicks career. It's time to give up and move on to better players. Apparently size will ALWAYS bother him so he can't even use his length too much in the post. We get a GOOD YOUNG PG, POST PRESENCE, OKAY PLAYER OFF THE BENCH AND 2 FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICS to get rid of T Hardaway (thank goodness), Courtney Lee (thanks goodness) and KP (sad day but good decision). Im happy with the trade. Now we need to grab Kwahi and someone else.... Mind you, the Knicks will also have a top pick because we stink.
That team good enough to not be a top 5 bad team now lol.
He’s nice but he’s a a nightmare for a coach like Carlisle.....he’s not down to live with rookie mistakes. He’s gotta work on his jumper. That’s going to be the difference between being a all star and being a role player. I think he’s going to flourish but I don’t think it’s gonna be with the Knicks.
So Hakeem wasted his talent too? Because Hakeem didn’t ring chase either.
I like it. Always better to trade them one season early instead of one season too late.
If for some reason they get the first pick, please oh please do not take Williamson. He'll be another J. R. Reid in the pros.

Knicks’ link to Kevin Durant’s past could be key to free agency
When the final buzzer sounded on Friday’s Warriors victory at the Garden, Knicks assistant coach Royal Ivey and Golden State forward Kevin Durant hugged and chatted for about 45 seconds on the court.
It was no surprise to those close to Ivey. The former Cardozo High standout has been close to Durant ever since Durant attended his alma mater, the University of Texas. Durant is the godfather of Ivey’s daughter, Lyric Ella.
“Kevin trusts Royal more than his own brother,” Cardozo’s legendary coach, Ron Naclerio, told The Post before conducting his season’s first practice Monday.
Durant left New York this week after collecting 75 points in wins over the Knicks and Nets. He’s a free agent on July 1, and Ivey is the Knicks’ ace in the hole.
If Ivey can help lure his Longhorns compadre to the Knicks, it would be Ivey’s biggest contribution to New York City basketball, topping Cardozo’s 1999 PSAL title at Madison Square Garden.
“Kevin looked up to Royal,” said Naclerio, who set the record for most victories (796) in New York State Public High School history last season. “They hit it off really well. Over the summer, Royal was close to [Texas product] T.J. Ford and they’d both go there to play during the summer to play pickup with Kevin and the Texas guys.”
Ivey and Durant furthered their relationship in Oklahoma City, where Ivey played three of his last four seasons with the Thunder. The 36-year-old Ivey ended his 10-year NBA career to become an assistant coach of the OKC Blue, their G-League team, and they were in the same city until Durant bolted for Golden State in 2016.
In fact, Thunder management put Ivey into the awkward position of trying to talk Durant out of leaving.
“Royal was nervous and felt weird about it,” said Naclerio, whose Cardozo team opens Dec. 4 against Beach Channel. “The team knew the relationship and gave him carte blanche to do what needed to be done to keep Kevin.
“Royal realized he’s got a bit of a headache. He’s Kevin’s friend and wanted to do right for a friend. But he’s also an employee of the Thunder. He’s got to do right by them. He was like, ‘Oh my God.’ Sometimes you get stuck behind a rock and a hard place.”
Perhaps Ivey, who knows first-year Knicks head coach David Fizdale from getting drafted by the Hawks in 2004, when Fizdale was an assistant there, will have better success July 1.
“I know Royal will go out of his way to try to convince Kevin,” Naclerio said. “To stay in Golden State, you’ll win an NBA championship, but that window will close. Unless you do something great away from Golden State, there’s always people who will say they should put an asterisk by his name. But if you do it in New York, forget about it. Royal is smart enough to do that.
Kevin being in a big market now, he’s not going to LA. He wants a big market, and knowing this could be the last contract, New York’s got to be on the list. Kevin feels comfortable around Royal.”
The night Durant dropped 66 points at Rucker Park during the 2011 lockout, Naclerio was in Harlem. His memory — besides raining 30-footers — was Durant showing up early with a little knapsack and no entourage.
A Knicks ballboy the last time they won the title in 1973, Naclerio saw Friday’s Garden 41-point fireworks on TV.
“People don’t realize how hard Kevin works,” Naclerio said. “He knows what he does well. Whatever he does well he’s doing ridiculously and he’s added stuff. He was great at getting his shot off all the time, but his handle was good. His handle is now like a point-guard handle. He’s got so much to him. His release point is so high and natural, you have to get on him.”
Ivey, born in Harlem and raised in Queens, was not permitted to talk to The Post for this story

Man them niggas don't care about no great white hope. Mavs just smart enough to know that they better trade for a disgruntled superstar........I'd rather them go get Prozingas than believe they can get Kyrie Irving or Durant or both. Shit wasn't happening.
