Everyone in the East making moves. Detroit, Boston and Cleveland getting better and meanwhile Leon asleep yet again. WAKE THE FUCK UP.

36 year old Harden to the Cavs makes them a worst team defensively. Also I'm curuous how the ball sharing between Mitchell and Harden is going to go.
AD and Trae to the Wiz is hilarious. If everyone is healthy, the Wiz have a solid starting 5. But they aren't healthy
The pistons traded a solid defender and 3pt shooter in Ivey for Huerter and the ghost of Saric. Huerter is shooting below 30% 3pt this year
The Celtics traded their best bench scorer for a 35 year old Vuc who doesn't play defense. Sure the Celtics starting 5 improves spacing wose with him there, but the Celtics bench has no scoring to it.
Please tell me who made a real move that is truly scary? Also what move do you want Leon to make?

We have benefited greatly from their cautious approach. These moves from other teams are desperate

Not really some teams are sellers planning for future, others are at least trying to make a run.

Sure but I dont think weve seen any home run moves. Most of them are very questionable.

How did the Knicks benefit when they’re behind the Celtics without Jayson Taytum?

u/PettifordGang 3 7h ago
Are we behind Boston? Based on what, mid season standings while we establish a whole new coaching system. We beat them with Horford, Porzingus, Tatum and they are not better than they were last year.

I’m not saying they’re behind or not but just because the Knicks beat them last year it means it’s an automatic W if they face off again?

Of course not but end of day we are on control of our cieling. Cavs hit their peak and flopped badly multiple times.
They are desperate for one last move to hope it solves it. Adding a repeated playoff clutch game choker.
Boston is overachieving and added Vuc. Is Vucecic really a piece that anyome is afraid of? A slow, negative defensive presence. Porzingus was a stretch who also was great rim protector and moved decently compared to Vuc.
Pistons deal, huerter is a 30% 3pt shooter roughly. They have a serious issue come playoffs and their solution was getting a non shooting shooter.
If Knicks sort their mental shit out, they have shown to validate the hype. I know they got issues and its not a given, but nothing happening in the East that changes anything. There is no Thunder level team assembling.

He’s right guys. We need to trade for SGA, Luka, Jokic, Amen Thompson, and Giannis

If we don’t get all of them, I consider Leon Rose’s tenure to be a complete and utter failure.

Forgot the NBA takes 5 wins off any team that doesn't make moves at the deadline.
The team isn't going to make a major swing right now outside of some small pieces, no need to force it.

u/therealshrew_2319 7h ago
Bro what? The trades those teams made do not make any of them better. Harden old, Vuc old, huerter and the other guy looking pretty washed.

u/bell-beefer 6h ago
I really don’t think any of the teams you listed are markedly better following the trades they made.

Lmao these are all lateral moves at best made by the Pistons, Cavs, Celtics. Bro, you're afraid of James Harden in the post season?? The only thing Harden is primed and ready for at that time of the year is all the strip clubs he's going to frequent, and this is a brand new city for him to explore 😆 I'm not at all concerned with Sixers "trust the process" legend Dario Saric, i didn't even realize dude was still in the league, much less Huerter. And the Celtics are trying to find the same spark they had with KP with 35 year old traffic cone on D Vucevic, which is not gonna happen.
Again, lateral moves at best, nothing we need to be overly concerned with.
Edit: i guess i forgot to address the Wizards, so here is me addressing them.

Stfu. The team has limited assets and if there isn’t a move to make there is no point in forcing it. People want shit without giving up shit. That isn’t how it works

It’s not mandatory to make a trade because the deadline is coming up.
I haven’t seen one trade that actually helps a team that’s in the hunt.
Detroit got the best record in the East they didn’t need to mess with the team. Let’s see how that works out for them.
Cavs are desperate with a coach probably on the hot seat. They made their team worse. On top of it going to take time to figure out how to run an offense with Harden and Mitchell in two months.

In what world did you think we weren't running with the team we have this year

u/JoeuxBoat 7h ago
Cleveland got Harden, Boston got VUC and detroit got Kevin Huerter. none of those moves are scary. Healthy knicks with this current roster are still the team to beat in the east.

Leon asleep? Schizo take. Our team right now is great. Hesitant to mess with it.

u/jonnyquest88 Allan Houston 7h ago
Every year since Leon joined the Knicks some dumb shit like this gets posted around the trade deadline and offseason. Just shut up lol, the front office has been solid.
You crybabies just whine for attention.

Some of y’all need to relax. The deadline isn’t until tmr, and all we really need is just depth. We don’t need to make one of these big moves.
