Moving Embiid? Maxey is the one that doesn’t come up big in the playoffs 😂 without Embiid for 80% of the season Maxey got you the play in. Be fr

But they get mad at LeBron when he’s hard on a front office to give up future assets for the now. Rip LeBron all those years in Cleveland about how he was the GM and with the lakers but now they want Brunson to do it lmao

Stephen A . Is. Right though. They give up to many picks for bridges. You expect him to do his job no less !!

They gave up all those picks to the nets and nets used all 5 of them and I cannot even name one of them who are playing on the nets , Knicks knew these were going to be trash picks

Mikael bridges was always a role player at best. Knicks kind of deserve their place in purgatory

Just because you’ve never won doesn’t mean you have to accept any performance.. perk sound like a weirdo theres nothing wrong with being hard on nba players having 0s across the stat sheet. Foh.. bridges is a joke

Every time this guy opens his mouth I feel the fatigue that many refer to. Why does he speak like that?
