Some Knick fan perspective.

Pretty hilarious that some of them are actually against it. "No way I give up Hardaway Jr AND a draft pick!"

Not really. Some ppl are not a fan of his game.   

I'd do this trade

To knicks: Rondo, Wallace
To celtics: Staudermire, Hardaway Jr, 2015 and 2016 1st

  I'd guess he meant "hilarious to most" and not "hilarious to all".

Knicks can not trade a 1st until 2018

the knicks have a 2015 and 2017 1st.   Can you explain how they can not trade a 1st until 2018?

  I think you can't go consecutive years without a first.

Because they traded their 2014 and 2016 picks. You cant trade first round picks in consecutive years.

Who would you rather be, the Knicks, the Cavs, or the Bucks?


Cavs.



They have some young talent on rookie contracts.  They have trade-able vets.  They are in position for another good draft pick.


They just need to make the right front office hire who will make the right coach hire.

Whose ownership would you rather work for if you were a GM?

The real answer is "because Isiah Thomas"

Loved this post over there when they were talking about the Sac-Bos deal rumored a few months ago:

Ainge "Hey Rajon you're going to Sacramento"

Rondo "No the Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. I'm not"

Ainge "Hey Pete(Kings GM) yeah Rajon is not havin it"

Made up rumor: The Celtics covet Kevin Durant, willing to give up Gerald Wallace to get it done.  #KnicksLogic

I'm Tweeting this and sighting "executives" as my "source".

It's bound to take off, right?
