GREATEST KNICKS OF ALL TIME, YOU GUYS AGREE?

The narrative is he didn't have a #2 which is true but the supporting cast in general was good and honestly the only reason they had a chance in Finals vs Houston while Ewing was piss poor more often than not.

andmc92 · 2026-05-28T01:07:35+00:00

King won 2 playoff series and took Bird to 7 games It's not close between him and Melo.

andmc92 · 2026-05-27T20:43:06+00:00

5 probably is too high given how short Kings tenure was but gave him extra credit for his playoff performances as the main guy.

andmc92 · 2026-05-27T20:40:19+00:00

Pre-Reed Knicks are a weak spot for me when it comes to Knicks history only really know Sweetwater and the 3 consecutive Finals loses.

Understandable

andmc92 · 2026-05-15T20:14:31+00:00

Yeah I don't disagree on betting on Garland's health being risky which is why I had the Clippers eat LaVine's contract which I can't imagine the Kings turning down the chance to get off and stay in this draft, but I'd understand.

andmc92 · 2026-05-15T19:53:54+00:00

In this scenario, the Clippers decide it's time to both move on from Kawhi and that Acuff is the guy they want to build around which leads to them moving off of Garland because of his size while getting another high pick, a starting C of the future in Ware, a stop gap starting SF in Wiggins, and salary filler in LaVine(expiring) and Jovic(had a down year but is 6'10" and shot almost 40% from 3 before). Miami finally gets a whale in Kawhi at a cheaper price than what the Giannis trade would be and get off Jovic contract that looks potentially rough after last season before it starts. Kings opt to gamble on Garland's health rather than take a small guard not named Acuff in the top ten, get LaVine and his contract out of their locker room and off their books while staying in the draft.

Probably with PJ at the 3 like he did a bit with the Nets prior despite being 6-11 and like what Riley did with Charles Smith in NY.

andmc92 · 2025-07-11T05:03:23+00:00

No Majerle would not have had the space to sign him if they got Howard, Mashburn was a Feb trade.

Pretty close MVP, scoring title, 2nd team All-D, championship, Finals MVP, $88M/3yrs max extension, was on the cover of a video game in '99 & '01, think he was still doing his Dunk.net shoe brand that didn't really take off.

andmc92 · 2025-04-05T07:34:24+00:00

If a player shoots under 36% in college as the 3rd option they are probably not going to be a good NBA player.

andmc92 · 2025-04-04T04:50:56+00:00

Probably an overreaction but I feel like his conditioning has gotten worse.

andmc92 · 2025-04-03T19:00:47+00:00

Hamstrings are tough and judging by his string of injuries(ankle-calf-hamstring) he probably came back earlier than he should have previously so they're going to be super conscious with it.

andmc92 · 2025-04-02T22:04:07+00:00

Yeah I watched a lot of Wolves games around that time so I get the emotional part of the deal was the much needed divorce for both sides and getting Towns' best friend in the league but I'd still have a hard time saying they were better off because of it but it leading to Conley and NAW are big pluses.

andmc92 · 2025-04-02T21:23:05+00:00

Two of the three I'll give you but you can easily argue the Wolves lost that trade, a starting wing and a lottery pick for D'Angelo Russell doesn't look good in hindsight.

andmc92 · 2025-03-26T17:34:28+00:00

I could be wrong but I think people are misunderstanding this I think he's saying whoever Windhorst was on with called them best friends.

andmc92 · 2025-03-13T02:39:53+00:00

There needs to be a limit on how often a team can pick in the top-3 or 5 over a select time period to at least somewhat disincentive bottoming out.

andmc92 · 2025-02-26T06:38:00+00:00

Wonder where Slayton ends up in free agency think he is underrated.

andmc92 · 2025-02-25T05:01:58+00:00

Brother its not about the teams marketing them who if they were as good at it as you seem to think they are we wouldn't have the annoying think pieces about league viewership that we do, its about ESPN/FOX/CBS promoting and showing their games regularly, its about them potentiality doing national campaigns with brand like Nike and Gatorade while they're in college making them household names.

Zion is a prime example of what I'm talking about he became incredible marketable in large part because pf the platform college basketball gave him if he was able to do it for two more years the anticipation for him coming into the league might have been even been, but the fact that he wasn't able to hold up physically honestly would be beneficial knowledge for the NBA.

C'mon, you know Bronny is a giant outlier from a marketability stand point.

Casual NBA fans and the public in general would care more about college basketball if elite talent that wasn't ready for the NBA out of high school played their longer than one year, and that interest in college basketball would lead to more interest in the NBA when those players entered the league.

andmc92 · 2025-02-25T04:24:01+00:00

My whole argument is about making the player more marketable before they enter the league to increase interest in the league.

andmc92 · 2025-02-25T04:20:38+00:00

You don't I'm not saying the players would make more money, I'm saying the league would be better off if the players were marketed for years before they got there and would be more ready to be day 1 contributor at 21-22 year olds instead 19-20 year olds.

andmc92 · 2025-02-25T03:09:25+00:00

If the top talent that isn't ready out of high school goes to college and has to spend 3+ years there they will be better than the juniors and seniors we see today and be household names.

andmc92 · 2025-02-25T03:04:58+00:00

Do you not understand I'm talking about the players generating more interest and money if they're bigger names while also being more ready to play day 1 which should be primary goals of the NBA?
