I know some of the Knicks fans in here were all doom and gloom before FA. I now know why. I genuinely thought they would get it right this time. But wow today has been the ultimate troll:
Expectation:
KD
Kyrie
Reality:
Randle
Taj Gibson
Bobby Portis
Reggie Bullock
Then KD/Kyrie sign for the cross-town Nets.

Bobby Portis will be really good. But yeah they got trolled lol
Whatās happening with Boogie? Is he staying at the Warriors? I wonder if heāll take another MLE and join the Lakers
I still canāt understand the Butler to Miami thing from Butlerās perspective. Heās going to a non-playoff team that literally have no chance of doing anything over the life of his contract. Heād have been better off staying in Philly or going to either one of the L.A. teams.

To be fair, Miami always has a chance of making the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.
Great organisation and one of the better coaches around.
Lakers or Clippers seems likely to me. The playoffs didnāt do anything for his value.
Miami is a similar climate to LA so maybe he doesnāt want the crazy media rubbish that comes with being in LA.
Iām actually more surprised that Miami would court him. Butler doesnāt strike me as the kind of guy thatāll get along with Whiteside or Winslow.

The FA pool has dwindled significantly. If the Lakers donāt get Kawhi, there isnāt a great deal else out there to get excited by. Marcus Morris will be a handy player, floor spacing big, can shoot the 3. Kevan Looney, Kelly Oubre, Seth Curry, Enes Kanter, all could be handyā¦
The only issue I have with this is I canāt see Green, Iggy and Curry signing for the vet minimum. I donāt think Curry qualifies for it. All those guys will make a LOT more else where, on contending teams too
Gee Kings have made some moves
They can get better playing deals elsewhere.
But a successful LA can make up for it off the court. Even Kurt Rambis made more away from basketball during his days.
Imagine who much the Birdman Chris Anderson could have made off the court at LA in comparison to what he made in Miami.
Danny Green is being pursued by the 6ers who still have a 9.7 mil trade exception.
Heās gonna wanna be co staring in Spacejam 2 for that price gap
As long as we donāt lose Derrick Jones junior for jimmy buckets.

Not to mention the fact all theyāve got signed now is 4-5 forwards, and all the reports are theyāre signing another 5 - and maybe Seth curry??
Rondo playing every minute next year?
Not all of this will happen, but if it did, then thatās a championship roster. Only thing missing is who plays the 5. AD can but he prefers to play the 4. Rondo is a good fit, he hooked up well with AD at the Pelicans, LeBron seems to like him. Danny Green and Iggy are good vets. Seth Curry adds shooting from the bench. Damn I donāt want to see this happen!

Celtics looking at Enes Kanter. With Horford gone it makes sense, we had nobody at the 5 with Baynes being traded as well.
