So you have no idea what it's like when the Knicks are "hot" then
If anything its nola
Not title contender “hot” but during the playoffs which feel like forever ago and in general when they are doing well and winning there is nothing quite like it.
Knicks fans behaviour in hereTruly a deluded and obnoxious franchise. You guys should be happy to miss out on Zion, it gives your shitty fanbase another opportunity to boo your pick on draft day - just to see him get out of that dumpster fire at the first opportunity like KP.
Yeah, might aswell just stay irrelevant like the Hawks.
The 'fans' who boo draft picks aren't even proper fans, it's basically a running joke now by some jerk kid and his father
They havent been a title contender this century. Theres lots of things like it
I know they haven’t. Once again my point was never about the Knicks because I know they suck and will continue to suck unless they get the 2 big guys this summer along with the good young core they are building.
My point about New Orleans stands and in a few years we will see who ended up being right.
Hawks can’t really compare to the Knicks at all besides the fact I admit they are doing a good rebuild. Most players would still rather play for NY then Atlanta 9x out of 10.
If new Orleans doesnt win it all in 5 years that doesn't make you right. If they never contend during the first 9 years then fair enough
Thing is, I actually like this Hawks team and franchise as a rule but this past day has brought out the worst in posters on here. Some posters I did actually like aswell, so I'll choose to take a step back and not post in here anymore I think.
My exact prediction is the furthest they will possibly get is the second round. Followed by Zion leaving after his contract is done. That is my exact prediction.
What about Atlanta?
I agree I even said I like the way the hawks are rebuilding. But everyone got butt hurt over saying something that most likely is going to happen and wound not be surprising when it does.
He can’t leave after his contract is done that easily. He would have to risk significant amount of money for 12 months.
You think he will leave after 4 years after accepting the qualifying offer?
It’s actually you Knicks fans who have been disrespecting multiple franchises that have done nothing wrong because you cannot get over the fact that something with 86% likelihood happened.
Has anyone ever declined a max to accept qualifying offer?
Answer the question about Giannis - is he wasting time in Milwaukee?
It's down to the arrogant attitude some Knicks fans (here and elsewhere) have displayed. Part of it is the media hyping it up. Like yeah, it would be cool if the Knicks got the inside straight and there was a new contender in the East. And yes, MSG is the best arena in the NBA. But a 14% chance is still a longshot and the Pelicans have had far more recent success than the Knicks so it's a bit galling see Knicks fans calling them a trash franchise. At least when obnoxious bandwagon Lakers fans bleat on, you know they've at least watched "their" team play in the finals.
Yeah OK, just the Knicks fans being disrespectful
Indeed. Nobody has really said a bad thing about any team until you started shouting from the rooftops about how New Orleans are crap, don’t deserve to exist and will fail miserably even with Zion.
No, not even close. Greg Monroe is the most prominent player to sign and he ended up getting a 3 year max from Milwaukee.
Note than players have different max amounts based on service time and accomplishments so "max" is misleading. It was only like $20 million per year.
I’m sorry I meant to say New Orleans.
AD didn’t have a problem doing so.
If he accepts it then wouldn’t he have to stay another year ... or am I wrong about that because if it’s accepted then he is under contract for one more year.
I’m pretty sure that’s how it works but you might know better then I do.
You do realize he didn’t do that? He signed a max extension with New Orleans at earliest opportunity.
He has to stay one more year while earning about $25million less and having no guarantees for future, then he becomes UFA the following Summer. He could basically risk $180million or so to force a move because if he gets injured that season he will never see that money.
Read back the pages then I suggest.
All I said was that they most likely won't become a juggernaut in the West as AD will be leaving. That is facts. Also, New Orleans are one of the worst ran NBA franchises, and are a contender to be moved. The attandence numbers don't lie. As far as the lottery goes, it is exactly that and congratulations to New Orleans.
Anyways, I have spoken too long on this thread, so as I said I'll stop posting in here and you and the other 4-5 posters can have it to yourselves talking about how much you hate the Knicks.
Yeah I know. Zion’s max will he like $28million per year in 4 years I think, considering Booker just signed for $158million, 5 years. If he makes it into All-NBA or All-Defense team it becomes substantially more I think.
I don’t actually hate the Knicks, I’m indifferent to that team. I do dislike the kind of attitude you and your friend have shown here. The league does not owe you anything and it certainly does not owe you no. 1 pick in this draft.
All of this kicked off with multiple posts about how Pelicans do not deserve him. Nobody said a word about the Knicks before, really. You are the only fan base who has complained so much about it everywhere on the web since yesterday.
I thought you meant the fact that he will get less money somewhere else if he leaves this season then he would have if he stayed in New Orleans.
That's not what happened
I explained it in detail on the previous page. Basically unless he leaves $150 million on the table, hes there for 9 years.
He won’t really. He will get one year shorter contract but year by year he will not be giving up on much, it will be a largely immaterial amount. And that fifth year is not so important for a player in his mid-20s because he will also get another big contract in the league.
Dude no one said that you do realize that right? Saying they won’t win a chip or get passed the second round at best in the time Zion is there is simply a prediction and a very viable one at that.
Am I upset we didn’t get Zion? Sure I am but do I feel we “deserved” him or were “entitled” to him...no.
@Sarni You need to watch the instagram I posted a page or so ago. It will crack you up
They have some hilarious memes about the Knicks not getting Zion
I don’t know if that is what your referring too but they are funny as hell.I’ll go look at that what page did you post it on?
