So Giannis is going to do what he accused lebron of doing – jump on a team to get a quick ring? Wow.
I thought Giannis would be different.
Thanks to lebum james, running and hopping on teams to win rings is the thing to do now.
Giannis needs to know the grass isn’t always greener. If he thinks the media is crazy and toxic now, he hasn’t seen anything yet. They’re going to drive t j st man insane.
So will the other teams take his brother and his family?

Just a reminder the Bucks with the same lineup smoked the Knicks this season. The Knicks had a good stretch but need help for sure to get over the hump.

Should the Knicks want Giannis is the dumbest hypothetical in mankind’s history…Perk needs to be fired

Perk gets paid to say things he doesn’t believe.

The Knicks probably would have to destroy their core or give up a lot of future picks to get Giannis I don’t see them doing that

We’re gonna own the Pistons again. This is the deepest Knicks team we’ve seen in a long time and I still believe there’s another level we can get to

‘If Giannis was healthy’ says it all. He is rarely healthy and it would be a massive error to bust this team up for one dude who can’t stay healthy.
12 years later, it looks like his calf is giving out. How many calf injuries is this? Somebody said 4. 4???
Yeah go ahead and pay a player millions of dollars to ride the pine nursing his broken parts. Do that if you have nO aspirations of winning the championship this year.
No thanks.
Tryna cut down on dumb trades.
