We're done giving away first rounders.
You don't understand, Shump is a straight asshole. He's the type of person where if you introduce someone new to him he will go, "So? Why the fuck should I know you?"
He's told me that he belongs in a city like NY (I don't know what that even means). He would HATE it in Phoenix, lol.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Rose,Rubio,Shumpert...I wonder how their game will change next season, hopefully not too much.
Doesn't surprise me. I feel like he only went to Ga. Tech instead of UNC just because it's in ATL while Chapel Hill is...well, Chapel Hill.
Why would he need to? We 'supposedly' offered more money over 3 years and he's going to the Knicks via S&T. I mean, *shrug* can't get more blatant than that.
And yes, it probably will be. But Nash could offer a similar explanation that Bron made did with Cleveland and Akron, in that Toronto isn't Vancouver.

Makes sense he is from Oak Park.
Most people on here won't get that, but yup, Oak Park is full of jackasses.

Marc Stein: Sources briefed on talks say Lakers' reported S-and-T push for Nash blocked to date by Suns brass. Can't stomach dealing him to old rival

Andy or Leo?
He should complete the package.

I don't see how that's true when everything he has done to now hasn't been considered fireable.
Maybe he won't play in Phoenix at all. Maybe Gordon tells NO that he wants to play in Phoenix and the Suns wind up trading Shump and Lopez, and lotto protected 1st for Gordon. He could wind up playing in NO.

What would happen if Colangelo pulled Field's offer? They haven't signed anything yet. The Raptors are better off without him if Nash isn't coming to Toronto.

Double poison to get Lin and Fields?
Dammit, the Knicks are going to be offensively good

No agent would ever deal with them again, you cant pull shit like that.
He would never be a GM ever again.

At least Beas will get 20 shots a game like he wants.

Still lose in 4-5 games to even an injured bulls/heat/celtics squad and probably couldn't even hang with the sixers.
If they were smart they would have tried to dump amare for the contracts king sent for joe johnson.

The Knicks will have no depth and will be relying on a 40 year old with a bad back and a PF with bad knees. If they go through an injury stretch like last season they are a lottery team.

Don't worry, Knicks gonna still have money to offer starting championship PG Nate Robinson a deal!

Thank god Douglas emo ass is going.
Nash was better than everyone on the Knicks last year and they might add him for literally nothing. I don't see how they end up worse than last season.
Hopefully they'll start Lin to get a new TV deal or something.
Good. The feeling is mutual. The Lakers need to get younger anyway.
Who needs a bench when you have the trash can?

@Chris_Broussard Just got a letter from Abraham Lincoln "Despite what Stephen Douglas says, I am working hard to end slavery."
I sent that to Chris. Too soon?

If they lose Lin, Shumpert, Douglas and Fields? Granted those guys weren't great but they gave them depth, allowed them to weather that injury storm in the middle of the season. In order to not be worse you are going to be banking on Nash staying healthy and being able to stay as productive as he's been in the past. Possible but risky as hell. Even then the Knicks will be a fun team to watch but not a contender.

So another Laker trade for a PG blocked by ownership. I haz a sad.
Didn't realize Knicks had 3 unguaranteed contracts. If NY throws in cash to cover Toney Douglass Deal, they can give Nash like $8 mil and suns don't lose any money outside of Shump. Didn't realize they had 3 unguaranteed guys on their books.
Nash going to play for NYK and the Knicks still won't do much. Not with Melo and Amar'e out there with Nash on D, no 2 guard, and I don't think Melo fits well. Plus, Amar'e was regressing even in Phoenix.
So close to that PG fix.
In the end, Nash preferred Lakers over Knicks and Canada! Moral Victory!

All those guys except Shumpert suck. If the Knicks want to win more than one playoff game they couldn't ride with the same garbage hoping that good depth would help beat the Heat/Bulls/Nets/Celtics.
As long as Nash and Chandler are semi-healthy during the season, they'll be able to make the playoffs in the East no matter what. When they're there, they'll thank god they have Steve Nash rather than Landry Fields.

They would be stupid to keep Lin. You going to pay $8 million a year for a back up PG? Their cap will be destroyed.
I thought that Dolan owns both the network and the team, no? They don't need to get a TV deal.
And don't forget that Nash is going to continue his decline. Now without the Suns medical staff.

If they acquire Nash they better be at least a 4th seed if they want to go further than the second round.

He owns everything. His own Network, the cable company that provides that network, the arena, his own newspaper, and The Rangers.

Yeah, but it doesn't make them a contender IMO cuz while Nash is always good for a team, it's a poor fit still.
I feel like a better defensive PG would have made them improve more, but then again not exactly many out there for that.
And they do lose the one guy that can defend. Though he was missing next season, anyway.
Knicks payroll in year 3 will be getting close to $100 mil. lol
