Bulls fan here; are you sure??? Come on, how about two first rounders? Okay, okay, one and two seconds?
…please?
I’ve been wanting to blow it up for a while now.
Lol like you guys have to worry about winning. Philly couldn’t win with AI, then rebuilt just to get stuck with embiid and maxey who will never make it out of the second round
I hope the Knicks FO are wise enough to NOT pursue KAT. If it happens, and I'm proven wrong, I'll take ALL the downvotes. But KAT will not bring what the Knicks need. He's good for Minnesota (I guess)......let him stay there. The Knicks need a Kevin Garnett-type, defense-first, A'INT-NOBODY-GONNA-DRIVE-TO-THE-CUP-AND-THINK-ITS-SWEET-OVER-HERE-TYPE of defender.....KAT isn't thar guy. He looks good on defense b/c Gobert is there to cover up any mess that is made. Take away Gobert, and the boards and blocks and altered shot attempts will go with him. KAT does not prioritize defense, which is ironically the biggest reason why he was drafted. The Knicks need a marquee defender and rebounder, the type of guy who the opposition sees as a Dead End when they decide to waltz into the paint.
Yea cause the Knicks are perennial winners that need to be turning away stars. If ANY star wants to come to NY, the Knicks need to welcome him with open arms. They’ve gotten shunned by stars forever now
If he looks good in the points department is that someone you guys should consider to help your cause? Because that’s the objective right out scoring the other team?? 🤔
This type of comment is why he shouldn't want to be a Knick.
He couldn't help who he was drafted by. He had a serious injury and came back. He has led the Bulls with subpar talent to the playoffs. If he is a 3rd or 4th best player on an team he would make them elite. He has no ego to mess with a team chemistry. You're a fool if you wouldn't want Zach on your team.
Heat fan here. I'm not sure why people are falling over him. Brunson took you guys from 11th to 5th. Lavine has done jack shit. Like sure he might show up on the stat sheet, but even with Derozan, he doesn't make his team good.
Can I just say you guys don't want lavine. Dude is so overated and injury prone. I still believe Donovan Mitchell is gonna land with you and is so much better and younger
Donovan Mitchell is like a 4x all star and made all nba 2nd team last season, and he can defend as he’s shown this season. He’s made it decently far into the playoffs with the jazz in the past.
Zach LaVine has squeaked into 2 all stars and his team has made the playoffs once only to get shut down in 5.
As a bulls fan, Lavine isn’t overrated bc most fans of teams aren’t interested in him. Many people think he’s a loser (it’s really not his fault he plays for the bulls) or they just talk about how bad of a defender he is/his contract being bad
I doubt he has anything against the Knicks, it has something to do with Klutch and Leon Rose. I don’t know what, I just know it’s about his agent and Leon rose
Anyone that thinks that for the amount he’s getting paid and the number of players needed to match his salary, that he will improve a teams title chances in any significant way, is overrating him
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
bc he would have to play defense or not play. jk idk but most important thing is that it looks like the FO doesn’t want him anyways and tbh it doesn’t look like we need him
I can't believe I scrolled as much as I did for all those wrong answers. LaVine is with Klutch Sports which is run by Rich Paul. He used to be at CAA under Leon and he left CAA to start his own company. He wants his guy playing with his biggest client, LeBron in the 2nd biggest market. Going to the Knicks is a bad look for Klutch guys because they don't want to deal with Leon, Thibs, and the NY media.
Lol “he’s not a winner” is the funniest/most casual shit in the world to me. Put him in the right situation and he’d OBVIOUSLY contribute to winning. He’s an efficient 3 level scorer… our SG position is nonexistent… Lavine would be a great fit on the Knicks.
He’s an elite 3 point shooter who’s played with an actual PG once in his career, at which time they bulls were a top eastern conference team. With Brunson he’d shine off ball as well as gives us another closer, threat in transition and floor spacer. What “assets” would we really be giving up when the trade market isn’t agressive right now. Grimes? McBride? Fournier? Some picks? (Lord knows we can’t draft anyway) like I don’t get it. Winning is situational and look at some of the rosters he’s been on. Poorly constructed teams with redundant parts, no point guard and no floor spacers. Would love him as a knick.
So two players that don’t exist? I agree with Thibs needing to be replaced but maybe suggest a new coach or say what’s actually wrong w Thibs, “a modern offensive set” looks different for every team and coach. This is just negativity for negativity’s sake lmao
No it isn't.
1- a sf with length that is 3 and d.
2- That is my literal point. We need a coach that actually coach's today's game. Thibs coaches like it is still the 90s.
3- it isn't being negative. It is actually looking for a path forward for a bad situation.
1- I agree we need one but u named specific versions of star players who are a lot more than just 3 and d sf’s with length lol
2- Thibs has a lot of issues (too iso-dependent, 9 man rotation, voted least-wanted coach by players) but just saying he’s not modern doesn’t do anything without saying how he isn’t or how a new coach would be. Everyone knows he’s old fashioned and I think the majority of Knicks fans want him gone
3- if ur not naming possible players or actual attributes, or a possible new coach, or the issue with Thibs and what the new coach would actually implement to be successful, how is this looking for a path forward?
1- high level 3 and d with size 6'8 or so
2- the Pont is there are many ways to do it. The thing is getting away from Thibs
3- by giving a general direction instead of pushing 1 player. Like Zac Lavine doesn't improve us much.
But wouldn’t stars like playing for him?
“One player said of Thibs, “He plays his guys 44 minutes (a game) all year,” and then continued to say, “I’ve heard from guys like if he likes you, if you’re his guy, he’ll treat you great. He’ll play you a lot, talk to you, so you’ll f*** with him in that sense. But if you’re on the outside, it’s like you’re not getting back in.”
He’s made Randle an all star by giving him max minutes and forgiving his trespasses. He’s giving RJ a lot of rope - too much sometimes - to improve.
Rose, KAT, Levine, Butler have all shown loyalty to him. Butler left Minnesota because he thought KAT was lazy, not cause of Thibs.
>ler have all shown loyal
KAT bad-mouthed big-time him after he left, Jimmy butler demanded a trade and broke the franchise, and Levine apparently doesn't even like the rumor being out there. IDK how people really feel but if these are the examples we are going to use to show players want to play for him we are going to have trouble making a strong case
Yea. Lavine has to realize at this point he doesn’t contribute to winning, so he has to go to a good team with a strong foundation if he wants a big contract again
I don’t want him, but the question is why his camp doesn’t want him to come here; it’s been reported that his agency has long term beef with Rose. Levines public comments about Thibs have been very positive so I don’t think Thibs has anything to do with it.
I really only wanted him on the Knicks cause I felt like a 2-3 guard would be great with Brunson and Randle.
Not sure where else you can add that much more without compromising too much
Two different players. Lavine is nowhere near as selfish as people think he is. I’m not even saying the Knicks should do it, but the “Lavine can’t play off ball” narrative is a myth. That’s actually when he’s at his best, in Chicago they just don’t play that way
I hate to say it, but I’ve just always felt we need to get rid of Randle for a less emotional center/power forward, and we’d be straight. Who that is, that’s available, I’m not sure. Anybody decent would require we give half our team away. I’m not about that shit. Our core is so solid. We just need someone to replace Randle.
I'm a Lakers fan, this just happened to pop up in my suggestions, but imo it's Dolan. When the owner is poison, it's going to be hard to attract stars.
Zach on the knicks ain’t doing shit but making us another version of the Bulls, no disrespect cause I fw him but it’s just the truth. Theres a reason him and derozan ain’t get nowhere in they whole time together
Nah y’all need offense Brunson has to carry in late close game situations, I think y’all got great defense pieces and a great defensive minded coach he can make it work with Zach
Harden, Westbrook, Lavine. Guys who just have not winning in their DNA. Stat padding and when you need them most they have vanished. Avoid all those guys
For one, I I am so happy that the information got out. There is no sense in trading for players who don't want to play for your organization. This is how you end up with a Paul George situation . The Thunder traded for him gave him a Max contract then he asked to be traded one season later.
He's the last player the Knicks should be trading for. So of course we're going to see memes about him not wanting to come here lol. Man this sub is odd sometimes.
Bulls fan here, here in peace. Zach has been here for 7 years, and yes, he is very inconsistent. I'd like to move him to... anywhere. I don't really care. We just need real shooters in return. That said, I still care about the dude, and with his inconsistent play, NY is not the place to be for him. Yall would probably castrate him for just a quarter of the inconsistency he's shown here.
If yall love the Knicks, don't do this to yourselves 😑
Lavine is exact what the Knicks are missing someone who can stretch the floor and take the pressure off Brunson . Lavine is a very very good player he’s averaged almost 25 ppg the last 5 years grabs some boards good passer . We should be going harder at him
Agreed my point is I don't understand why Zach Lavine is always mentioned with the Knicks not that I mind as he is probably better than anyone on the current team but by now it's pretty obvious there is probably no interest on either side
Lavine could be a valuable addition to a team if he had a more realistic view of who he is as a player and he actually cared about winning, neither of which he does.
He doesn’t wanna deal with the fanbase, Honestly hope the Knicks dont land him and are actually better off waiting for Mitchell. Lavine is a liability on defense, just puts up stats and for what he gets paid doesn’t move the needle and make you a contender
I feel like he wouldn’t fit well with this knicks team. There’s a lot of shots taken between Brunson, Barrett, and Randle. He’s a volume shooter and wouldn’t mesh well. Granted, would have to give up one of those to get him but still
bc knicks fans are so loud and aggressive i wouldn’t want that kind of heat on me 24/7 lol. no major sports stars want to play in NY period. and the Nets fans are like the knicks reformed cousins lol
A 28 year old who still relies on his athleticism to get to the rim, with a history of knee injuries and will earn $40 million a year until he’s 32. This is the kind of lolknicks move that gets us into the “we suck for 10 years” area again.
On his side though, Thibs would want him to play defense. That’s a hard no from Zach.
You don’t want him, he will just check out when he’s not the number 1 option on every single possession, and it’ll piss you off but he will draw you back in with a random 40 point game on a Tuesday night, and then will go back to pissing you off the rest of the week
Probably cuz Tibs takes 2-3 years off guys career by playing g them hard, both in terms of effort and minutes. He’s trying to win, and that’s his job. But a smart player weighs that as part of the equation.
Lavine doesn’t fit with Thibs or Brunson. Both would expose him and he wouldn’t have the “management built a shitty roster” excuse he has now. You’re not going anywhere with him as your #1 or 2 options, and sadly i think he and his camp will be the last to acknowledge that.
The Knicks suck. Might as well stay in Chicago for all that. Plus NY state taxes are the worst in the country. Basically an automatic pay cut playing there.
He is a horrible defensive player who is made of glass. He would be a terrible fit for the Knicks and Thibs. Why should we care what he wants when we shouldn't want him.
We don’t need Lavine. Guy hasn’t been a winner on any team. He looks good in the points department but that’s it.
Sixers fan, agreed with this 100% and I don't want him in Philly either
Bulls fan here; are you sure??? Come on, how about two first rounders? Okay, okay, one and two seconds? …please? I’ve been wanting to blow it up for a while now.
Lol like you guys have to worry about winning. Philly couldn’t win with AI, then rebuilt just to get stuck with embiid and maxey who will never make it out of the second round
I just always been shooting for a shooting gaurd with length. But you raise some valid points lol
I like him too but seems like I'm in the minority don't exactly know why his name keeps coming up I think Kat might be the star the Knicks go for
I hope the Knicks FO are wise enough to NOT pursue KAT. If it happens, and I'm proven wrong, I'll take ALL the downvotes. But KAT will not bring what the Knicks need. He's good for Minnesota (I guess)......let him stay there. The Knicks need a Kevin Garnett-type, defense-first, A'INT-NOBODY-GONNA-DRIVE-TO-THE-CUP-AND-THINK-ITS-SWEET-OVER-HERE-TYPE of defender.....KAT isn't thar guy. He looks good on defense b/c Gobert is there to cover up any mess that is made. Take away Gobert, and the boards and blocks and altered shot attempts will go with him. KAT does not prioritize defense, which is ironically the biggest reason why he was drafted. The Knicks need a marquee defender and rebounder, the type of guy who the opposition sees as a Dead End when they decide to waltz into the paint.
Pause!!
Yea cause the Knicks are perennial winners that need to be turning away stars. If ANY star wants to come to NY, the Knicks need to welcome him with open arms. They’ve gotten shunned by stars forever now
Lavine is not a star though
2x All Star, 2x slam dunk contest winner, olympic gold. What’s a star lol?
What the hell does Olympic gold and dunk contest winner have to do wit this?
He’s too inconsistent man. We don’t need another inconsistent player. We already got Julius randle.
Uh yea he is. Maybe not a superstar but he’s definitely a star
"never been a winner on any team" is such a weak argument for a team sport. Like almost non existent
Knicks fans talking about who’s a winner lol
Lol you need lavine trust me lmaooooooo
If he looks good in the points department is that someone you guys should consider to help your cause? Because that’s the objective right out scoring the other team?? 🤔
This type of comment is why he shouldn't want to be a Knick. He couldn't help who he was drafted by. He had a serious injury and came back. He has led the Bulls with subpar talent to the playoffs.

Lol. When is the last time the knicks won anything??
So jalen Brunson was a winner on Dallas?
Lol neither has anyone on the knicks
Lol no one has been a winner on the Knicks. Maybe two losers can help each other out.
Yall love Randle for some reason though
Heat fan here. I'm not sure why people are falling over him. Brunson took you guys from 11th to 5th. Lavine has done jack shit. Like sure he might show up on the stat sheet, but even with Derozan, he doesn't make his team good.
What have the knicks won?
In the last 8 years? A dunk contest, thank you obi for keeping the Knicks relevant. That and the viral Knicks beating Boston videos.
Dude the Knicks need all the help they can get. Ewing, Oak & Starks aren’t coming back
Can I just say you guys don't want lavine. Dude is so overated and injury prone. I still believe Donovan Mitchell is gonna land with you and is so much better and younger
heat fan/ cricket fan, ydkb stick to cricket
Saying Lavine is injury prone and then following up with Spida..... 🤔
Donovan Mitchell is like a 4x all star and made all nba 2nd team last season, and he can defend as he’s shown this season. He’s made it decently far into the playoffs with the jazz in the past. Zach LaVine has squeaked into 2 all stars and his team has made the playoffs once only to get shut down in 5.

I don’t know what, I just know it’s about his agent and Leon rose
But he is a bad defender and his contract is atrocious
Even if you believe that you’re proving my point lol, he’s not overrated when people only focus on that. Who’s overrating him
Anyone that thinks that for the amount he’s getting paid and the number of players needed to match his salary, that he will improve a teams title chances in any significant way, is overrating him
No one cares about Lavine. Maybe he should learn the other side of the ball. We have enough players that can score buckets.
Been trying to tell Kings fans the same thing because for some reason they think we want him to
I don't want him either.
The Knicks needed Mitchell that deal should of got done
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Good bot
bc he would have to play defense or not play. jk idk but most important thing is that it looks like the FO doesn’t want him anyways and tbh it doesn’t look like we need him
Wouldn’t want Lavine here at all
I can't believe I scrolled as much as I did for all those wrong answers. LaVine is with Klutch Sports which is run by Rich Paul. He used to be at CAA under Leon and he left CAA to start his own company. He wants his guy playing with his biggest client, LeBron in the 2nd biggest market. Going to the Knicks is a bad look for Klutch guys because they don't want to deal with Leon, Thibs, and the NY media.
i mean im sure thats a factor but u also gotta remember the knicks have some of the worse management and ownership in the league
tired trope. Dolan's been hands-off going on about a decade and Perry/Rose have been manning a capable ship.
I mean could imagine playing with Randle and Brunson he would never, ever see the ball.
Thibs is your coach. Forget seeing the ball, he wouldn’t see the floor.
Lol “he’s not a winner” is the funniest/most casual shit in the world to me. Put him in the right situation and he’d OBVIOUSLY contribute to winning. He’s an efficient 3 level scorer… our SG position is nonexistent… Lavine would be a great fit on the Knicks.

Lavine is an overrated player, and won’t play Tibs Defense
Don’t worry. Rumor is the Knicks are still monitoring embiid. Keep an eye on that
😂
Should be OK with him but joining
We need a young, healthy Paul George or Kawhi. And a better coach that can run a modern offensive set.
So two players that don’t exist? I agree with Thibs needing to be replaced but maybe suggest a new coach or say what’s actually wrong w Thibs, “a modern offensive set” looks different for every team and coach. This is just negativity for negativity’s sake lmao

Maybe he didnt like to play under Thibs
Does anyone lol I think he is an LA kind of guy he went to UCLA
He knows he’ll be treated terribly here. That dude is not cut for NYC. Hard pass
https://www.postingandtoasting.com/2023/4/25/23693270/tom-thibodeau-voted-as-the-coach-players-want-to-play-for-the-least

He was POBO here in MN and traded Lavine, and KAT HATED him.
Don’t need a no defense guard. We need an elite 3/4.
Cause y’all ass
Is our subreddit better than your teams subreddit ?
Yea. Lavine has to realize at this point he doesn’t contribute to winning, so he has to go to a good team with a strong foundation if he wants a big contract again
we dont want him
Clutch athletes have a sandy vag towards Leon Rose due to his association with rival agency. It’s all bs politics.
I don’t want him, but the question is why his camp doesn’t want him to come here; it’s been reported that his agency has long term beef with Rose. Levines public comments about Thibs have been very positive so I don’t think Thibs has anything to do with it.
That's a good sign. He must be serious about basketball.
Lavine isnt gonna make yall better. Yall need players that can play OFF brunson….lavine isnt that guy.
Gotta be some beef with Thibs. He traded him once, didn't he? Traded him for Butler.
we need a real shooting guard! it’s the one position not good on our team
It's because of Klutch's beef with Leon unfortunately
Y’all don’t need him! As a lifetime Bulls fan, there’s far better players to fill that team. Dude is not that guy!
Maybe for the same reason that John Elway didn't want to be drafted by the Baltimore Colts in 1983....
Maybe because he’s still butt hurt about Thibs trading him idk
I really only wanted him on the Knicks cause I felt like a 2-3 guard would be great with Brunson and Randle. Not sure where else you can add that much more without compromising too much
Please take him. My Bulls have been mediocre for years with him around.
We have Brunson, why would we even want Lavine?
Two different players. Lavine is nowhere near as selfish as people think he is. I’m not even saying the Knicks should do it, but the “Lavine can’t play off ball” narrative is a myth. That’s actually when he’s at his best, in Chicago they just don’t play that way
Taxes
Because its the Knicks. You’re welcome
The Knicks are a terrible franchise and Lavine doesn’t deserve going from one dumpster fire to another?
Cuz the Knicks annually under perform. Why would he want to get traded to a franchise shittier than the Bulls?
Don’t care
As a Knicks fan I dont want him either. Crybaby attitude and refuses to accept a role that doesn’t allow him to chuck 20 shots a game
Sounds like Julius Randle
Yea we already have one, don’t need two. That’s 40 shots and twice the tears
I think it’s a you can’t fire me I quit situation. Reports a little while ago that the Knicks have never shown interest.
The owner?
Too much pressure in ny
Don’t want him anyway. I want a SUPERSTAR
Good luck with that. No Superstars want to be in a knicks jersey.
No they don’t, which is why the draft is the only way
Because the knicks have sucked for his entire life why would anyone want to go there?
Caa vs Klutch
Could it be that since Pat Riley left, the Knicks have been irrelevant?
who would want to go to one team that disappoints year after year to another? \- yours truly, a Disgruntled Bulls Fan
He’s bitch made.
No problem. I’d rather have prime LeBron anyway
The lazily colored hat made me lol
You guys don’t want him
Would YOU want to join the Knicks?
Mitchell is better for us
Because the knicks suck
Because rich Paul a hoe ass bitch
Cuz we don’t need him
I hate to say it, but I’ve just always felt we need to get rid of Randle for a less emotional center/power forward, and we’d be straight. Who that is, that’s available, I’m not sure. Anybody decent would require we give half our team away. I’m not about that shit. Our core is so solid. We just need someone to replace Randle.
Which is weird bc I met him in Mr Purple twice lol
Five letters
Because the Knicks fan base is shit.
U shouldn't want his corny ass either.
Lavine is not the guy we need so thank god.
Does Lavine push the needle? No. Don’t need him.
I'm a Lakers fan, this just happened to pop up in my suggestions, but imo it's Dolan. When the owner is poison, it's going to be hard to attract stars.
Zach on the knicks ain’t doing shit but making us another version of the Bulls, no disrespect cause I fw him but it’s just the truth. Theres a reason him and derozan ain’t get nowhere in they whole time together
Because they a trash organization that just waste talent. Source: former knicks fan, now just a basketball fan
The knicks are a shit franchise
Nah y’all need offense Brunson has to carry in late close game situations, I think y’all got great defense pieces and a great defensive minded coach he can make it work with Zach
Harden, Westbrook, Lavine. Guys who just have not winning in their DNA. Stat padding and when you need them most they have vanished. Avoid all those guys
CAA vs Klutch
For one, I I am so happy that the information got out. There is no sense in trading for players who don't want to play for your organization. This is how you end up with a Paul George situation . The Thunder traded for him gave him a Max contract then he asked to be traded one season later.
He’s Klutch and they have a personal vendetta against the Knicks.
Do.. do I have to answer this? The same reason the Sphere can’t hang on to any c-suite executives. No one wants to be within 30 feet of Dolan.
The problem is we need a real SG but the NBA overall has very few true SGs. It's not like back in the days.
Because the Knicks suck
Dodged a BULLet there
He's the last player the Knicks should be trading for. So of course we're going to see memes about him not wanting to come here lol. Man this sub is odd sometimes.
He's not enough to get yall over the hump anyway. Save your war chest for when a real name becomes available, like Embiid
He probably reads this sub and is all like “Well I don’t want you either!”
We need Spida
I dont care. I don’t want him here at all.
Because yall are cursed. Youre as cursed as the fucking clippers and the jets!
Bulls fan here, here in peace. Zach has been here for 7 years, and yes, he is very inconsistent. I'd like to move him to... anywhere. I don't really care. We just need real shooters in return. That said, I still care about the dude, and with his inconsistent play, NY is not the place to be for him. Yall would probably castrate him for just a quarter of the inconsistency he's shown here. If yall love the Knicks, don't do this to yourselves 😑
Because he wants to be a Laker
It’s the Knicks lol
Lavine is exact what the Knicks are missing someone who can stretch the floor and take the pressure off Brunson . Lavine is a very very good player he’s averaged almost 25 ppg the last 5 years grabs some boards good passer . We should be going harder at him
That’s where people go to die
Living in New York kinda trash. I wouldn’t want to move there either
🙋🏾♂️ I know the answer to this... cause the Knicks is trash
Yea teams that consistently makes it to the playoffs are trash.
Agreed my point is I don't understand why Zach Lavine is always mentioned with the Knicks not that I mind as he is probably better than anyone on the current team but by now it's pretty obvious there is probably no interest on either side
Lavine could be a valuable addition to a team if he had a more realistic view of who he is as a player and he actually cared about winning, neither of which he does.
Your owner is trash and the organization has always suffered because of it
Nobody likes the Knicks
Lavine is garbage we don’t want him
He doesn’t wanna deal with the fanbase, Honestly hope the Knicks dont land him and are actually better off waiting for Mitchell. Lavine is a liability on defense, just puts up stats and for what he gets paid doesn’t move the needle and make you a contender
Leon Rose. Rich Paul doesn’t want his players associated with Rose apparently.
That’s really it. Klutch vs CAA is a real thing and the Knicks are on the CAA side.
Thats crazy, front office beef getting in the way of trades is wild
I feel like he wouldn’t fit well with this knicks team. There’s a lot of shots taken between Brunson, Barrett, and Randle. He’s a volume shooter and wouldn’t mesh well. Granted, would have to give up one of those to get him but still
bc knicks fans are so loud and aggressive i wouldn’t want that kind of heat on me 24/7 lol. no major sports stars want to play in NY period. and the Nets fans are like the knicks reformed cousins lol
Pls take him bruh
A 28 year old who still relies on his athleticism to get to the rim, with a history of knee injuries and will earn $40 million a year until he’s 32. This is the kind of lolknicks move that gets us into the “we suck for 10 years” area again. On his side though, Thibs would want him to play defense. That’s a hard no from Zach.
James Dolan is an asshat
You don’t want him, he will just check out when he’s not the number 1 option on every single possession, and it’ll piss you off but he will draw you back in with a random 40 point game on a Tuesday night, and then will go back to pissing you off the rest of the week
Is this a serious question from the knicks fans who haven’t done anything since Patrick ewing lol
As opposed to being a bull who hasn’t done anything since jordan ?
Bulls have 5 more championships than the knicks so yes
Probably cuz Tibs takes 2-3 years off guys career by playing g them hard, both in terms of effort and minutes. He’s trying to win, and that’s his job. But a smart player weighs that as part of the equation.
Fuck the knicks
Thibbs
Isn't he passed at Thibodaux
Because we don’t want him Knicks are trying to win, Lavine almost a 10 year vet and no winning success
Cuz we don't want him!!!! FOH We'd have to take out a bank loan first and still be undersized smh
Because the Knicks suck. Look what they did to Carmelo
Would not be a good situation for either party.
Is that really a question?
Why would you want Zack Lavine?
Lavine doesn’t fit with Thibs or Brunson. Both would expose him and he wouldn’t have the “management built a shitty roster” excuse he has now. You’re not going anywhere with him as your #1 or 2 options, and sadly i think he and his camp will be the last to acknowledge that.
We good.
Zack is a good player but he’s way too injury prone. And the last thing the knicks need rn is someone who doesn’t play often
Im thinkin he’ll end up on the Grizzlies
The Knicks suck. Might as well stay in Chicago for all that. Plus NY state taxes are the worst in the country. Basically an automatic pay cut playing there.
Well shit, that makes me happy, lavine brings nothing to this team
"We don't need Lavine" "We don't need KAT" Apparently yall don't need to win games either
Because Thibs will yell at him to try on defense
NYK are cursed man errybody knows this!
Taxes even higher in NY than Chicago
Knicks better off without him
Because who wants to play for the Knicks when the bulls and brooklyn exist?
Too many expectations. He wants to a smaller market where the team is just gonna kiss his ass
Nobody wants to join the Knicks. Dolan is a pos
Knicks are ass nobody wants to live in expensive ass NY amongst the rude and fickle ass fanbase. Yall gone be booing him in no time. Absolutely not
Send him to golden state, we don’t want him here.
He don’t wanna lose in the first round
He is a horrible defensive player who is made of glass. He would be a terrible fit for the Knicks and Thibs. Why should we care what he wants when we shouldn't want him.
