Go worry about your own team because just like the Knicks every team in the league has their issues. Criticize your own team and stop worrying about our bench/lineup/coaching...
Stop being soft son.

!$%@* ridiculous man. they need to just say %@%* it and start fresh by having a fantasy draft 2k style. only way to fix this mess.Originally Posted by shoeking2101
NBA straight trolling now,
One team has lebron james chris bosh and dwyane wade on the same team,
Another may have deron williams and dwight howard on the same squad,
Another team has ray allen, KG, Paul Pierce, and Rajon rondo on the same team,
And one may potentially have Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, and Amare stoudemire on the same team?

Yeah, cause we'd be eating if this new CBA wasnt in effect
when has competitive balance been existent though?Originally Posted by abutta13
bro i want cp3 on the knicks too but i am a bigger fan of the sport as a whole than i am of one team. for the sport these superteams are awful and competitive balance is almost non existent. every year we know who the real contenders are before any games are even played. what other sports are like that? these players are getting out of hand they play a sport for a living they arent entitled to being on great teams and winning multiple championships.
So before the superteams, we NEVER knew who the real contenders were and every team had a fair shot of winning? Basketball isn't like other sports, 5 guys playing at a time means one player alone can make your team a playoff contender... throw in another star player and third very good player and that's a championship team. You might have been joking when you said do a fantasy draft, but even if you weren't.. that plus the removal of free agency is the only way you "fix" this. Blame the players if you want, but all they've done is recognize a trend that's existed for years.. you need superstars/top players on your team to win. If you want incredibly restrictive free agency, a hard cap, and other severe rules in place to prevent player movement, then OK... but I don't think that benefits the game.Originally Posted by abutta13

Boston is washed up. They can get to the playoffs but they aren't championship threats anymore unless they find the fountain of youth.Originally Posted by shoeking2101

If the Nets were willing to give up young talent/players/picks for D Will with no guarantee of him signing an extension, I'll be willing to bet money that another team will be willing to do the same thing with CP3. He doesn't have all the leverage in this situation...If I'm NO, I'd rather let him walk then to take back the Knicks trash (and I'm not even a NY hater)Originally Posted by tim teufel
It's either they take whatever the Knicks give them or deal with an unhappy player that will walk anyway and receive nothing.

Far from a D'Antoni supporter but ehhh, not buying it. His Suns' teams were in the middle of the league's team defensive rating during the seasons. The playoffs are a little different, but still.. there's actually a defensive assistant this season, plus there's no lifetime contract for D'Antoni either so he doesn't have to always be here, and if this were to happen, Chris Paul can play some defense. Will the Knicks ever be an all-time great defensive squad? Of course not, but bring in a leader like Paul, get some defensive minded role players, and let's see what happens.Originally Posted by Rex Ryan

minimal defense shall be played. no need to be worried at all.
I understand why the Nets did it, but what I'm saying is there is always going to be at least one desperate team who's willing to take that risk. Orlando could put together a package better than what NY is offering, and they'd be willing to take that risk because if they can't field a competitive squad it's a wrap for Dwight in a Magic uniform. Highly doubt CP3 and Dwight would leave Orl for a large market under those circumstances...Originally Posted by MrONegative

The Nets just missed out of Carmelo, Utah quick mobbed them in the 25th with that come outta here with something deal, stole all the assets they got together for Melo without any promise of an extension.
Nets did it cuz they had to do something to compete in Brooklyn/attract FAs. This is that shortsightedness backfiring. Other teams won't forget that, especially after dude turned down an extension with the C's....they figured get ____ here and we can talk him into staying...
Maybe not so much anymore.
