    According to Woj, the Lakers will have $23.7M in space, not enough to offer a max to Kyrie or Kawhi

    Maybe Kawhi takes a 2 year deal like KD did then when Davis leaves or LeBron restructures they can afford them.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays in Toronto.

    At least the Braves don’t play on NBA draft night.

    Meanwhile the Thunder are hopelessly trapped in the repeater tax for the foreseeable future for an 8th seed team.

    Nets are taking over what? No Durant this season. Kyrie can destroy a locker room and ruin a team in just one season. KD most likely won’t be 100% ever again. I don’t think he’s going to be up to the task of fixing everything Kyrie breaks in year 1.

    Love this move for OKC. Now they need to trade Adams and Westbrook and do this rebuild the correct way.

    What a move

    Stars aligned. We traded leonard and George essentially.

    Im fine with keeping Adams but its nice to pawn westbrook for absolutely anything. Great day for OKC future.

    How good are the Clippers going to be defensively? Kawhi, George, Beverly, Shamet, Harrell. Plus they still have Lou Williams and Zubac and Jerome Robinson have some promise. That could be a really good team. Not sure at the moment what kind of salary cap space they have left with exceptions and whatnot, but if they can add another player now, you have to figure they'll also be in prime position to add in the buyout market later. IMO, they're the favorites at the moment.

    The frustrating part as a fan is hearing how mismanagement and instability have turned off players from coming here..........yet there are the Lakers adding LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Look at their franchise and the chaos/dysfunction over the past decade, especially over the last couple of years with Jeanie Buss, Magic, Pelinka. I guess the Lakers can get away with it all and the Knicks can't because the weather is a lot nicer in LA?

    Anyway, the most important thing the Knicks can do now is stay the course, retain flexibility, and build through the draft. My biggest fear is Dolan calls for heads to roll, or they make a panic trade. The worst thing the Knicks can do is perpetuate a culture that has gotten them to this point. We have a top 3 pick, a guy coming off an all-rookie team, and a couple other nice young players to go with 6 first round picks over the next 4 years and cap flexibility. The Knicks have the pieces to fix this if they can ignore the media and get out of their own way.

    Like you said...we sell out every game...according to Forbes in 2018, the Knicks were the 7th most valuable sports franchise in the world (and 1st in the NBA)....that should make it way easier to do the right thing.

    I can’t get over how impressed I am with Presti. I don’t like how he constructs his rosters (and his head coach choices have been lackluster), but no one is better at asset management.

    I would put them in the Minnesota tier of Western teams. Definitely shouldn’t be a top 8 favorite, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they are in the mix.
