We all hope

I just don’t know how u can pay a player without seeing how he heals. Durant has some mileage.

Sounds like a little jealousy and butthurt to me.  In year 2 with Durant they will be a top contender in the east.  

He might be right. What if KD is never the same? Jordan’s game is going to drop off soon, and Irving is not reliable.

I dont disagree with that but he 6-9 and can really score the ball.  He and Irvine are very good players along with a decent center in Jordan.

Knicks got Taj Gibson.. and Julius Randle..  

Funny thing is they win today.

Knicks>Nets

Neither win anything. Good job NY!

This year? Which pick?

We have Brooklyn's  2020 pick (lottery protected from  2020-22) from the Prince trade.

The rags will destroy the Knicks in the morning.

See what happens but in year 2 aka 2020-2021, DeAndre will have more mileage on him as well. This thing is mathematically designed to fail.

So we are rooting for them to finish with the 15th pick next year?

That’s actually exactly where they fall I think. 

Nets will pick between 15-20 I think.

I’m having flashbacks to McGrady/Grant Hill.

Totally fair.  Not sure why folks are so sure he'll be unaffected.

[Buzzard]

I think Orlando so far has improved the most in the Southeast. Nothing spectacular but Aminu will help them defensively. They still need a PG though. My opinion on the Heat is we could be better than them and we have not signed one player yet. Charlotte has taken a step backwards.

The Southeast Division is going to be wide open.

My biggest point is that perhaps things don’t properly align.

Maybe Durant is fine in the long run, but maybe even in 2 years he starts slowly, and by the time he is 100% DJ has already severely declined.

Trash Spellman? A guy who has only played 1 year in the nba smh

this is the nonsense I don’t understand, fans want players to be great right away and it doesn’t work that way.

But some players have to show some type of sign that they're going to be at least legit NBA bench level players.  As of right now, Spelman ( until he proves otherwise ), is no better than Adreian Payne.  Remember him?

Ferry had enough sense to get rid of that dude and get a 1st round pick ( which turned into Kevin Huerter ).

Eggsactly.

It was the same in the Finals.  Everybody assumed he'd come back, they'd plug him in and he'd be 100%.  Didn't happen.  But folks want us to assume, after a year+ absence, he'll be good to go right out the chute?

Nah, I ain't buying it.

Ok but let’s give him another season

Would be nice to get Derrick favors but hey I’m not holding my breath

That was actually Bud. 

Payne played 3 NBA games for Hawks before being traded. Spellman 46 games. Missed games mostly due to being fat and injured.

Don't see the Payne comparison.

I hope we can land favors. I saw on Peachtree that sending bembry to the Jazz would make the trade work. 

Makes sense I don’t see why we’d need both turner and bembry on the bench
