They havent been good in quite some time and the only allure is Madison Square Garden. They have an owner who Im sure players around the league dont even care much for so for what ever the brand is that KD is thinking about I sure want to know. At the end of the day Ill keep saying that for KD playing with Kyrie is intriguing but also his long term health as well. The doctor that is treating him is on the Nets medical staff and not the Knicks and one was to think after the situation that played out in GS, how can KD trust any medical staff that he doesnt have any type of relationship with again? Thats one of the reasons why Kawhi started to warm up to the thought of staying in Toronto even before they won the title. He knew and trusted their medical staff to take care of him and because of his bad experience with the Spurs thats one of the main things Kawhi was concerned about. Again Im not saying KD still wont sign with the Knicks, I just think as of now there are more concert factors that are way more important that points to him towards Brooklyn than just the Knicks brand. Those things mainly include the longevity of his health and getting back to the player he was and again that doctor or team of doctors is on the Nets medical staff because you can have that brand of the Knicks but if you are a shell of yourself due to a serious injury then it doesnt mean anything. And how long were the Lakers bad for when LeBron made that move? Obviously KD is confident if he goes to the Knicks that they will become title contenders. Nike I'm sure would LOVE for their two biggest stars to dominant both the LA and NY markets. I mean KD can do that with Brooklyn as well, but not to the extent he can do it with the Knicks. So yeah, no arguing the Nets are better than the Knicks. But why would one leave to go to the Nets? Like what would be the biggest reason for that move?

We shall see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YogiBiz Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Kawhi Leonard - Clippers Kemba Walker - Pacers Kyrie Irving - Nets Kevin Durant - Nets As a Knicks’ fan I am tired of putting my faith in another superstar coming off an injury Klay Thompson - Warriors Jimmy Butler - Clippers DeMarcus Cousins - Hornets Kristaps Porzingis - Mavericks D’Angelo Russel - Knicks / I would rather spend money on pieces that fit the timeline Al Horford - Pelicans Tobias Harris - 76ers Malcolm Brogdon - Bucks Nikola Vucevic - Celtics Kris Middleton - Bucks Ricky Rubio - 76ers Julius Randle - Knicks Brook Lopez - Bucks Marc Gasol - Retire Maybe idk Maybe Raps if Kawhi returns but he should go out on top. He’s one of my all time favorites and I don’t want to watch him turn into anymore of a husk. Edited June 27, 2019 by YogiBiz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that i don’t know how I forgot the Hornets mess of a cap. And I didn’t see the Marc news. I hope Kawhi resigns though 24 minutes ago, DoleINGout said: ??????? It makes basketball sense IMO. Even before Dipo went down this squad needed another perimeter scorer. Bojan would be better as a third option. Is their cap space bad?

Idk I’m just throwing fire hoping it burns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
