blade you can post screenshots of you beating people like louie in 1v1s as much as you want (seriosly with your sound, set up, and stopwatch you shouldnt lose a 1v1) but it doesnt change the fact that he is 20x the player you are.

As a Knicks fan:

"For the past week, I've been struggling. Struggling to make sense of our record, struggling with what is already looking like a lost season. But I think I found a way to make something of this team. And it all depends on JR Smith.
The plan seems harmless enough; propose the trade to Cleveland. JR Smith for Matthew Delladova. Straight up. No tricks, no gimmicks. Naturally, Cleveland will accept. It's a no-brainer; this will give them a deeper bench and yet another scoring punch to a stacked offense. Plus, the Knicks are stupid anyways, right? Wrong.
The next step is the longest one, but very simple. JR Smith, just be JR Smith. Go to Cleveland and do what you were made to do: get to the SC top 10 every other week, and smoke dank. If Step 2 is to succeed, JR Smith has to go to Cleveland and just smoke so much weed everywhere. In the hotels. On the bench. In the locker room. JR has to do JR things in a way JR has never done them before. Soon enough, after he has infiltrated Cleveland's chemistry, he will break it. He will slowly but surely deteriorate all community, all cohesiveness holding the Cavs together. Before long, LeBron will become frustrated. He will look for a new 'Rio, a new human punching bag upon which to funnel all of his anger and disappointment. And that will be Kevin Love.
Kevin Love will feel the environment crumbling from under him. He will hear LBJ's voice screaming into his ear "Stop shooting f***ing 3's and pass!" and he will be sad. Kevin Love Sadness is the final step in the plan. Because when Kevin is feeling super sad, his friend Carmelo Anthony is going to invite him to lunch, prepared at Fisher's house and cooked by Phil Jackson with care. That day, Kevin will announce his plans to opt out of his contract and come to New York, where he and Melo will wreak havoc on the Eastern Conference and restore glory to New York basketball.
All it takes is 3 simple steps. And JR Smith. I believe this could really work. Thank you."
Step 1 is complete

Awesome game tonight at the garden. Place was rocking. Pelicans controlled the game until the end and then Sullinger went off. Huge shots by Crowder and Smart. Davis is a monster and had a quiet 30+ point night. Dude is scary good..

That Lakers pick Philly got for MCW is top 5 protected, and the odds the Lakers land in the top 5 are pretty high. It'll most likely be a 11-18th pick next season, which is right around where they drafted MCW.. Just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. It's basically a mulligan. Then they also gave up KJ for peanuts. Must have been some behind the scenes drama there. Philly will forever be 3 years from being 3 years away.

Overall I think MIA, BOS and OKC came out ahead. I have no clue what PHX was thinking, or why MIL would give up Knight for someone worse. Maybe they assumed they wouldn't be able to re-sign him?

they get a good point guard (dont say MCW isnt a good PG), who was VERY underrated due to the fact that his entire surroundings were D-league-esque players and rookies who is still on his rookie contract (owed about $2.6 mil this year (?) and $3.2 mil (?) next year) as opposed to trying to match an offer sheet thats near a max contract deal in restricted free agency with BK

basically what the bucks said is that they didnt trust BK to be the entire future of the bucks and didnt deserve to become the highest paid player on the bucks roster. this way they also will have about 16-17 million in cap space next season also in part with larry sanders buy out. they get 2 good promising young prospects in ennis and plumlee that fill a void that they needed for depth. they basically just freed a FUCKING TON of cap space for next season and theyll have EVEN MORE for the year after that when the salary cap rises

just wait for the bucks to make some GIGANTIC moves in either this offseason or next. theyre going to have about 16 million in cap space this next season and something in the realm of 60 million in cap space the season following

also before the season started i believe that BK turned down a contract extension in the realm of 4 years/48 million dollars (which is kembas current deal i think), so by doing that they just freed up a minimum of 10 million dollars at the point guard position

just posting my opinion here don't get mad at me..

To start off I'll say that I understand this trade from a money perspective. It makes perfect sense why the bucks would trade an impending free agent for someone still on their rookie contract. If the bucks felt knight was not their pg of the future then it made no sense to hold on to him. However, I'm still not buying how this trade makes the bucks better for the long run.

"Don't say MCW is not a good pg"

While he is good he is certainly nothing special. In a league filled with good pgs MCW certainly doesn't stand out from than the rest. You point out that he was surrounded by dleaguers, insinuating that if he was surrounded by better players he would perform at a higher level. I tend to look at it in a sense that his numbers were overinflated in Philly because of the very fact that he was surrounded by dleaguers and he played heavy minutes and took twice as many shots than he should be taking.

Which brings me to my second point, his shooting. On a team like the bucks who are rebuilding their team around Parker, and Giananis it would make most sense to have a pg who can both shoot at a high efficiency and play off the ball. Knight was a player who fit this mold..MCW not so much. With MCW in the lineup the bucks are going to have some serious floor spacing issues. Which I find funny because you were always getting on rondo for his inability to shoot and now that the bucks have MCW it doesn't seem to matter anymore.Then again you were also praising knight and now that hes gone its apparently a good move by the bucks.

My last point that I'm going to make, for now, is the point you made about the impending freeagency and having the cap space to go out and make a gigantic move. Who in their right mind is going to sign in Milwaukee? The bucks are in the same situation as the celtics in that no big free agent in their right mind is going to sign with either team. These are not desired cities to play in my friend and this is the nba we are talking about.

now understand that i have liked brandon knight this whole season, and last season. however with his numbers and him being more of a combo guard, mainly towards a scorer, would he really be worth a max contract? you mention a point stating that MCW does not stand out in comparison with a league littered with point guards, i dont think brandon knight stands out as a top 10 point guard even, maybe. as far as mentioning MCWs shooting percentage, its gonna be shitty, hes not a great shooter and theres more pressure on him to score. when hes got players around him like the bucks do who can score on their own, him being a pass first point guard is gonna benefit everyone around him and his own shooting percentage. MCW is also a better defender and fits their length that theyve been rolling with, adding him could make their defense which is #2 in the league right now in defensive rating, even better.

sorry if my grammar sounds retarded i just woke up

also theres tons of free agent big men on the market next season who are pretty decent, i highly doubt that all of them are gonna be resigining with their respective teams. ive learned to trust john hammond so far, i dont really doubt what he does. essentially at this point out of all of his trades he basically flipped brandon jennings for MCW, khris middleton, tyler ennis and miles plumlee, also take the carlos delfino and miroslav radjulica trade and you got the clippers 1st rounder in 2017 and jared dudley. i tend to trust this guy on trades now (minus the tobias one which i dont think was his doing mostly)

I really want the celtics to try and make the playoffs. Perhaps they can bring in someone like Thomas Robinson to try and fill the void.
