  1. PACERS made their bitch 4 straight playoff series since 99-2000 when are you going to beat indiana in a playoff series lol

  2. It would be nice to get Giannis, but would it be good to get him in the middle of this season? NO. He needs to get healthy again and then a better cost-to-benefit picture would be available.

  3. Dude sounds silly this man is a top 5 player there’s nothing to think about and if it takes kat and McBride and whatever picks and pick swaps we have the trade would of been done I don’t care how good we are playing

  4. I don't think Giannis fits well with a ball-dominant, score-first Guard like Dame or Brunson.
    He excels when paired with a pass-first PG like a Jrue Holiday or a Rondo.

  5. Trade OG, Robinson and Yabu for Giannis and Ryan Collins makes more sense because Giannis cannot play without center who cannot shoot the 3,it's the reason he doesn't shoot and is a rim driver his entire career

  6. Let’s be realistic—trading for a declining, injury-plagued star with obvious denial issues and personality concerns makes no sense for a franchise like the Knicks, who are building a high-market, sustainable, and historic culture. He had his chance to leave Milwaukee and prove himself elsewhere but chose to test his resilience—and it’s clearly not working. As a New Yorker, I say no. This isn’t Dave DeBusschere (the missing championship piece in 1968); it’s more like the Larry Johnson trade—a gamble that didn’t elevate the franchise.

  7. The Knicks traded for DeBusschere in '68, sending Walt Bellamy & Howard Komives to Detroit. He was the final piece alongside Reed (Towns [offense & rebounding]/or Robinson [defense & rebounding), Frazier (Brunson/score-first & clutch guard/Captain), and Bradley (Bridges/Iron-man). That’s how you build a winner—not with high-risk reclamation projects. Study the history! I'd rather take the legendary Nikola Jokić!"
