cameroncrazie07 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 The Knicks aren't better than the Hawks right now, and the Knicks aren't winning a title until they get a real coach and not some phony-baloney chuckerphile. They're fun, but built for postseason failure. Did we not watch the Phoenix Suns?If they get Paul they will win. I will guarantee that.Based on what, exactly?Based on my opinion, if the Heat can win with their "big three" and that 15 year old coach of theirs, than the Knicks can do it too.

Look, I may not be the most knowledgeable guy in the world when it comes to the game of basketball, but I do know that although the Celtics succeeded in winning a championship with their three-headed monster, that was also done thanks in large part to their prowess on defense--something D'Antoni is either allergic to or can't spell. So unless the Knicks plan on signing the MonStars, then proceeding to magically zap the talent out of all the other superstars in the league, they ain't guaranteed to win s#!t. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Oh well D-Will to the Nets, enjoy winning 25 games a year while we get CP3 and win a title.Grade A delusional butthurt here.Almost sounds like one of those spoiled Yankees fans, who feel entitled to every superstar player, after Cliff Lee decided to sign with Philly last winter .... except this is the Knicks we're taking about.

DustDevil61 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Oh. Hell. No.It was one thing to lose our state landmark-like coach, now we're going to lose our star player? I can't tell you how sick to the stomach I feel now. I guess he was bound to leave though, so it's better to get something out of it than nothing later. Wow.I'm really going to hate seeing D-Will leave if this is really set in stone, but being the loyal fan that I am I'm just going to welcome the newcomers as best I can. At least Harris is a proven point guard and Favors is a good young talent. This is still a real whack in the head for me, though.I don't think that this was a bad move, as time will tell, but I sure didn't see this coming. I just wished that the Jazz held onto Williams until next year's trade deadline, at least. However, Utah doesn't have to worry about letting a player walk for nothing (i.e., Boozer, Korver), and it looks like that they may be getting bigger (and younger), even if that means dropping the talent at PG. Like I said, time will tell how this one plays out, and things might work out for the best.Either way, I'm going to miss Deron Williams.Also, this is certainly shaping up to be the transition year to all transition years.

McCall Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 D-Will deal is done. Honestly I think the Jazz come on top of this one as far as the players involved. Sure they give up their star PG but get a quality PG and a young high potential big man. If I were a Jazz fan I don't think I'd be upset, though that's purely hypothetical. If they can get Sloan to come out of his retirement/sabbatical next year I think they'll be ok. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely, mind you, but not impossible. I do have confidence in Ty Corbin as head coach, though; Detroit and Cleveland (I think) have tried to get him before.

And we still don't even know the long term success the Heat will have with their big 3. The Celtics big 3 were seasoned veterans while the Heat got 3 young stars with about 7 years experience each.To piggy back on this, there IS one way I know the Knicks could wind up giving max money (unless my math is off, which it very well could be, in which case totally ignore this) to Chris Paul. If under the new CBA, the league were to institute a hard cap, the salary cap would in fact be higher than it currently is. From what I've heard, under a hard cap, teams would be able to spend up to what is currently the luxury threshold, somewhere around $70 million. With a little bit of creative maneuvering, it could provide enough room for the Knicks to get CP3. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but it's not totally out of the realm of possibility.
