Brunson and giannis 🔥
Oh brother
Giannis is better than Kat, but im not trading a 25/12 shooting big nd 2 starters for him
Rinse & repeat with Stephen A.
He just said giannis been bounced out the players in the first year because of the parts he's wirh….so he he gets traded to ny wouldn't the knicks have to give up……parts!!!? If we give up too much we gonna be Milwaukee.
– pressure to trade for star
– lose all depth
– star loses
– everyone blames the star
ESPN cycle in a nutshell
The Knicks have the deepest and well-structured team that they’ve had since winning the championship 52 years ago. We saw Giannis & Dame. It didn’t work.
His friend LeBron comes to NYC and Brunson and KAT go LA in exchange
I see why Molly left. No insight on the game as a whole. 1 player doesn't make a difference.
this is a joke…there were no serious talks…bucks were not serious and giannis was not goping anywhere this year…so why would knicks be serious. none of you understrands the greek mentality..so none of you have a clue…esp SAS…lmao…moron. just stop it…knicks can do this next year no problem…the important thing is Giannis wants NY.
STFU SAS…PLEASE STFU…MORON
Who’s the white broad?
This is the same Stepen A Smith that was angry with the Knicks when they signed Brunson. He also didnt give any respect to Brunson almost towards the end of his first year with the Knicks. He doesnt know anything. Listening to him talk..is like listening to some guy in the Subway talking about the Knicks.
i would trade everyone for him im just not trading kat Brunson Giannis kat
"The culture" was annihilated when Leon traded for KAT, I don't want to hear about culture when they played like garbo in the playoffs and failed expectations. I don't care that we beat BOSTON, we still lost in the second round, AGAIN. At this point, if you can get Giannis, YOU GET HIM. He's a dominate player -Brunson is a super star, but a guy like Giannis is an auto playoff with a chance to carry a team. This is why that trade for BRIDGES was one of the worst trades they made, giving up 5 first rounders killed this potential blockbuster. SMH.
Brunson ruined there chances requesting his boy
Smith said everyone but brunson?
Foh brunson is the first one to go go u can't have 2 non shooters as your best players fool
imo….Giannis does NOT want to ever leave Milwaukee..The NBA behind the scenes want Giannis in a large market, New York or LA.
If Giannis cannot win with no help in Milwaukee then how can he do so in New York?
SAS doesn't make sense. You can't trade everyone for Giannis.
its the parts around him that made the bucks bad , but you want to trade the whole team for him so we have nothing left, SA make it make sense lol , how are you on TV … top heavy teams dont win anymore , you need a full squad
And if we give up everybody then whos playing with him doesnt make sense they can have shamet and thats it lol
Have we not learned from the Suns the past 2 seasons?
New York will have to give everybody including Brunson
Chris Canty need to get that eye fixed. And Stephen A Smith is a fairweather fan. Why would Knicks fan condone gutting the team for ONE player…? I'm sorry….I need y'all jobs @ ESPN cuz y'all talk nonsense.
This trade makes no sense to make. Why would we give up so many players and picks for one player. Makes no sense. If they were gonna make this trade they should have never picked up Mikal bridges and gave the Nets 5 first round picks for him. We don’t have the players and it makes no sense to do. If you know basketball you don’t make a move like this because you don’t have it to make
6 picks for bridges lol but not good for giannis
Just came here to remind everyone that Stephen A Smith is a performing clown that does not watch Knick games.
Keep him away from the spurs he'll ruin Wemby
Can't we just wait to get him next year? I heard he's hitting free agency then.
This is why SAS is not a GM.
The new host from a distance kinda looks like Molly.
