you want to feel good about the Knicks ring because of players like Brunson and Kat and Bridges and it's a good narrative to have a drought of 50 years end but then the fans are so disgusting you kinda feel bad about it now

You keep trying to force this stupid narrative
No one besides Melo thought he had a Denver legacy worth protecting
Olympics are forever, nobody is going to forget how Melo carried the team in London and Rio (when Lebitch decided he was "too tired" to play Olympics anymore until they gave him a literal superteam in 2024). KD will end with more medals and overall points but Melo made it look fucking easy against some of the best international teams ever.
New Yorkers ain't gonna forget the Melo era just like they never forgot Bernard King, he will always be part of the lore as one of many failed saviors
Real niggas know Melo was the best baller of his era and haters just don't know hoops

For me, it's New York native and life-long Knicks fan Taylor Swift
>>
>>155313001
Riley Curry mogs her when it comes to cuteness.
>>
>>155313001
Brunson made an effort to cool the tension between Swifties and Knicks broadcaster Monica McNutt, who recently upset the fanbase for dissing Swift when she didn't realize that her mic was recording.

"I just want to say something to the Swifties," Brunson said in the post-game interview with McNutt. He then gestured to the reporter, saying, "She's a really good one. Cut her some slack. It's all good, I promise."

Last week, McNutt earned the intense ire of Swifties after she was caught on a hot mic dismissing Swift's allegiance to the team. The "Opalite" singer was among the stars who watched Game 4 from Celebrity Row in Madison Square Garden, leading some to question whether Swift was actually a longtime fan or merely jumping aboard the Knicks bandwagon.

McNutt was among those skeptics, at one point remarking to a colleague, "Is that Taylor Swift down there? … She's not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl."

The New York Nets played on Long Island, basically a world away from NYC proper. See also how nobody in the City is an Isles fan.
Also Dr. J was a sensation and yeah they won two titles but this was in the 70s when the actual City's team was at the peak of its powers.
They were too new and too short lived to ever have many diehard fans.

The thing about the ABA is that it is the beginning of what we consider "modern basketball". All the flashy moves, the dunks, the 3 point line, everything that people think of as basketball now started with the ABA.

When people talk about how players in the past couldn't dribble and looked like dorks, that was the NBA.

Fox sold the entire series. If the FBI actually investigated, I think he'd be in a cell next to Terry Rozier. It was genuinely that blatant of a sell job.

Reggie. Drexler was an all-around player, and led his team to the finals on the back of his performances, aside from the ‘95 Rockets which were clearly Hakeem’s team. Reggie was clutch, except not really, it’s just a narrative that points out the same 3 games repeatedly. He also had a shorter prime, and got carried by the younger Pacers to his only Finals trip.
>>
>>155313935
Kaload didn't want to play for the Pacers, didn't even interview with them yet the Pacers moronically still drafted him only to trade him in the same night to San Antonio
Dirk was a tall white Yuro guy the NBA barely scouted, the Bucks actually suffered by not having him

Embarrassing. These retards blew a fucking 29 point lead. That would have absolutely reset the entire series not just by the record, but mentally. Going into game 5 they'd be thinking "we should be up 3-1, and if we played a bit better it could have been over, but we got home court and just dominated on the road last game, we got this".
Instead they went home deflated and had their very soul ripped out of their bodies. They couldn't even put up enough of a fight to avoid a gentleman's sweep. A TWENTY-NINE POINT LEAD.

[Woo] The Thunder have been active in exploring various trade options, including moving up in the lottery, with noted interest in Michigan’s 7’4” Aday Mara.

Rival teams say the Thunder have been active in exploring various trade options, including moving up in the lottery. Most expect them to find a way to consolidate, as they work to improve a crowded roster, also holding the No. 17 pick, movable future assets, and quality depth to help facilitate deals. There's some thought that the Thunder will prioritize deepening their frontline in the aftermath of their seven-game series with the Spurs.

good teams self asses and adjust and get better every time they lose.

the knicks retooled each year after they got out hustled by the heat in '23, run out of the gym by the hawks in '24, then couldn't trade 3s with the pacers in '25. Rose made smart moves, filled the roster with high end role players, and listened to his players' feedback and changed coach.

Just based on their delusional press conferences and talking about how they analytically won, I don't know if the Spurs or Cavs get better without culture and coaching changes.
Thunder are entering cap hell, and their biggest contract has been exposed as a BAWB
Celshits will always shoot themselves out of big series and are doomed until they move on from their autistic coach. Flipping Brown for Giannis will blow up in their face.
I don't think the Sixers multiple albatross contracts will let them retool as much as they need to.
The Lakers are dead if they give the white boy $250m.
The Nuggets are on the decline.
Waiting to see what the Pistons do.

Geographically correct but culturally they might as well be different planets. They were never accepted when they were on the Island, and they left pre-merger and have almost zero cultural impact for anyone except a small fraction of older genx and boomers

They were the ABA Nets back then, and they were only on the Island for 9 years. Most of that time they were shit.

They played half a season in the old Long Island Arena in Commack. That's Suffolk County, not Brooklyn, not even Nassau county. It was such a shithole that visiting teams refused to play on the court, which was often missing floorboards. It's a Target now.

They finished out their NY era at the Coliseum in Uniondale, which became more better known for loud concerts and the Islanders after the Nets left for Jersey.

One of my favorite parts of the Knicks championship is how much every other city absolutely hates seeing New York back on top.

Kaydee tore his Achilles in the 2019 finals, then requested a trade. Klay tore his Achilles and ACL in b2b seasons. The season he came back was 2022, which was the season they won their last ring, but then he's clearly washed. After that 2022 ring, Poole regressed, Wiseman and Kuminga never improved/didn't fit with the team's playstyle. And it was downhill from there.

What is Wemby thinking right now?

>>155329664
It's funny to think about but KD literally said he doesn't give a fuck about stacking rings, that's why he left GS because they won and he felt like "That's it?".

Knicks have a hard offseason ahead. Unless (and probably even if) they can get KAT to turn down his player option and sign a longer deal with less AAV, they will have zero flexibility.

If a team out there throws a big enough bag at Robinson they won't be able to keep him. Shamet is almost definitely gone. Alvarado and Clarkson are both worth more than the vet min, which is all ny can offer.

Rose has proven to be a great exec but the second apron is a non-stop ass rape machine and good teams get broken up. We'll see how they do.

They can pay Mitch any amount, the calculus comes down to deciding if that's worth it. The Knicks basically need Robinson and won't have the money to replace him if they let him walk. And I doubt he's going to get as ridiculously overpaid as iHart, Mitch is still offensively non-existent outside of lobs and dunks and needs to be heavily load managed to avoid injury.

Shamet I could see taking the low pay anyhow just to stay with the team, that's the benefit of being a champion. But someone out there will probably pay Shamet a nice deal.
Alvarado has a 4.5m player option for next season and KAT's option year is 2027-28. The only core player they have signed after 2029 is Bridges through 29-30. They are a high payroll team but they have plenty of flexibility because of the way they signed everyone to the same timeline. Basically the only way they can acquire anyone new is through minimum contracts and the MLE (they used it to sign Yabusele who's gone), so you expect them to simply extend everyone should the team remain competitive for another couple of years.
>>

The Knicks are $17m from the 2nd apron and they can use the taxpayer mid-level exemption to sign a player for as much as 2yr/$10.2m, so they have a path to replacing a player like Shamet if not just resigning him. Giving him just one more minimum contract would give NY his bird rights and they'd be able to sign him long-term after that. Same idea for Clarkson, but he's also old as shit and I doubt another team gives him much more than 5 million a year.
>>
>>155332690
no way shamet takes a discount this is his time to get paid after almost being bounced from the league. Mitch is scary because hater ass teams always jack up the price for dudes like him. They can technically pay the all but the 2nd apron would lock them into that team for like 3 years with no flexibility

Kyrie did the same thing, except his was triggered by Khelani leaving him.

I think in Brown's case, his issues are exacerbated by having a no-personality teammate who constantly tries to force a new one and then Joe Mazulla-- who fits the profile of a serial killer more than a coach.

It's Reggie, but I don't think people rate him highly.

Reggie is carried by his moments and KWABING the Knicks. He was solid, and has flairs of greatness, but just overall good. I think he's unlucky too, because he finally had a young gun squad and they had to face a peak Shaq. Malace at the Palace happens in 2004, and while it was early in the season, it was obvious that squad was probably the strongest in the East for that year.

Drexler was a great player but peaked at the worst possible time-- coincided with Jordan's run. He even made it a year earlier than Jordan, but lost to a well-built Pistons team that were running on prior year fumes. By the time he won, he was clearly second to Dream on the Rockets.

Yeah I believe Shamet is gone too because the man will probably get a multiyear, guaranteed deal. Can't pass that up.
The Knicks will cross the 2nd apron regardless of who they maintain, Mitch alone is likely to cost $15m+. The current order of operations, with the Knicks currently $4m under either apron is:
>use $4m to sign a UFA bench player, could be anyone
>then Alvarado opts into his deal
>use MLE on another bench player
>sign Mitch
>match RFA offers for Dadiet, Hukporti

>2nd apron draft penalties don't kick in until 3 years above the line
Tl;Dr the Knicks knew the apron math when they signed everyone to contracts expiring at the same time, they knew they would have to pass the apron this summer because of Mitch/Deuce/Hart and can be locked into this team through 2028 (when KAT's on an option year that he definitely declines, and OG and Brunson are UFAs, and Hart's current deal expiring after 2027). Basically they'll lock in for two more years and then have to look at some kind of shakeup.

Honest to god, the Heatles era might be the peak of basketball.

Social Media is too cute now. It was the right moment for a team like that to run around and play the heels. I respect Wemby for trying to do it, but nigga better play great next time and come back like the Heatles did.

I would say the NBA from 2008-2016 was the peak. KD's stupid ass had to kill it. I like the parity era (Celtics won), and we even saw a Knicks championship, but it kind of does feel more like pieces just fall together and a team goes on a run. I guess the alternative would've been OKC boreball taking over.

It's not just Social Media, it's that teams today would try too hard to act like them. And who cares lmfao? I have a LeBron Jersey, A Duncan Jersey, KG, like what a fucking retarded point ot make.

Denying the Heatles weren't a fun team to watch and them going for +27 wasn't fun is retarded. You have to have been like ten or something back then, so I'll be nice. Heatles were the most fun team to watch in the NBA period. No other team could replicate actually entertaining basketball like they did, especially with all the gay ass "load management" and conditioning (while stars still magically get hurt at the same rate) of today.

These 'offs were fun as a spectacle, but I'll take 2011-2015 over anything. Different styles and the game wasn't nerdy/solved yet.

Guys, remember when the Sixers purposely tanked in 2013 for some mega run and the Raptors, Bucks, Celtics, and even the Knicks -- a franchise that was a literal joke, managed to win titles.

Well at least they made the Eastern Conference Fin- ... oh wait, teams like the Hawks, Heat (who also made two finals), and Pacers and Cavs (AFTER LEBRON) have made the Eastern Conference finals since that time.

Damn, and sources are telling me teams like the OKC and the Spurs managed to do the same thing the Sixers did in less time and with far more success.

>>
>>155346045
Seems like everyone can get in the club now, and also some pundits are already crowning Jalen Brunson like top 50 all time after one ring. He had an amazing run and the team was great, don't get me wrong, but no teams are really dominant anymore. Like the Mavs in 2011 getting one ring of in the middle of three teams getting their last/first rings kinda weighs more than the Knicks getting off a historic run in the middle of a decade where anybody can win.

>>
>>155346045
>>155346671
To put on a last point, parity makes watching more interesting because it's a new storyline every year rather than just Lebron vs. Curry Round 5. I think ring culture is a dead concept through this half of the decade cause it just means less if you can only hope for getting one and you're on the same levels as the other dudes of your era. Personal accolades are definitely not just bonuses anymore.

The Jazz have one of the most promising upcoming rosters, If I had to pick between the Wizards or the Jazz, I'm taking the Wizards all day.

Leafjeet, it's not like they didn't try
>Towns in immediate foul trouble in games 4 and 5 thanks to several extremely cheesy fouls
>what should have been Wembenyama's dreaded suspension-inducing final flagrant wasn't even called a regular foul
>multiple other blatant no-calls in game 5 with increasinly hilarious "huh i guess the officials just weren't looking they sure spend a lot of time not looking at the guy with the ball haha" cope by the announcers
The league at the wery least really wanted the spurs to win game 5 and tried to tilt it their way a little but they shart the bed so hard unless they fouled out Brunson and Anunoby too it just wasn't going to happen. Even the NBA has a limit on how blatant it's willing to be

I fucking knew he was hurt. Same shit John Cena had

NBA season doesn't start for 4 or 5 months? Then you can basically ignore the season until the allstar break and teams actually start trying

That's a long time until there's basketball to watch
>>

Cope, a knicks title was worth millions upon millions. Wembenladen has the next 20 years to win a poverty ring.
>>
>>155348758
Trades and the draft implications cut the time in about half, which is a good break
>>
>>155348793
I like to see what happens with the draft, but that's like a day

Then you can just catch up on trades at the start of the season.

he wants to go to washington, he's obviously not worth shit and he knows it

I would honestly love if Kawhi somehow came back even if seeing him win with Toronto made me salty af. We could use him.

Fox for Quickley, CMB, and filler

wonder when the "he was too young and inexperienced" excuse stops for Wemby
when he's 23? 24? 25?

The real question is would the Bucks be retarded and desperate enough to trade Giannis for Fox and some picks.

Only if they could ship him somewhere else for even more picks

I don't watch sports media. Why were people saying Wemby is guaranteed to be the next NBA legend?

He's only been in the league like 3 years right? And this was his first play off run? Why do people praise him so much?
>>
>>155349603
because this was his 3rd year and first playoff run. DPotY, top 3 mvp, all nba 1st, and a finals trip by year 3 is amazing
>>
>>155349603
his height and length are basically unheard of
and his impact on defense is also basically unheard of and the advanced metrics back that up
if he just added a post up game instead of being a memechucker he could easily crack top 10
>>
>>155349603
He has some of the highest On-Off numbers in NBA history (Jokicfags told me this was important) and had a playoff EPM of 9.1, second only to Lebron's 9.4

Being a single player who won a championship where his second best player wasn't even top 50 in the league
>>
>>155313166
I love Shaq. I think his 4 rings are more impressive than Lebron's 4 rings. He didn't have Lebron's longevity or Duncan's 5 rings, but I think I'd rank Shaq higher than either of them on a GOAT list.
