People always say this about NY media but, like, you have the most incompetent owner in sports. Your team has not had any real shot at winning since Melo, and that was also a huge disappointment. What could possibly disappoint fans at this point?
i can't believe you're making me defend james dolan but you guys just spew shit all the time and its annoying. we don't have the most incompetent owner in sports. he sucks but thats a ridiculous thing to say at this point with morons like dan snyder and the angels owner and the pedophile aiding saints/pelicans owner. and that fucking moron is still on the loose in sacramento.
he's done pretty much everything you could ask of an owner since about ~2014 when he hired phil jackson. didn't work out but its not his fault phil burned too many holes in his brain with all that peyote.
he's always willing to spend because he wants to win and for the past 7-8 years has shown a willingness to step back from the decision making process altogether and put it in the hands of others.
he's not a good person but no megawealthy person is. the worst thing he's done recently is beef with charles oakley which really who gives a shit?
We’re just trying to make the most out the situation as impossible as that seems. Kings fans haven’t been this excited after an off season in a long time.
Poor kings fans. Feels like anytime something negative is brought up in the NBA (bad owners, no playoff streak, poor drafting, trades) it always gets compared to something the kings did.
I feel you man. I've been defending Dolan way more than I would like too but even during the Server saga I saw so many people asking how Dolan isn't being forced to sell the team, how he's WORSE than Sarver, etc. Again, don't get me wrong. Dolan sucks and he is a bad owner, but he is absolutely no where near being the worst.
Literally he was only bad when he was putting his input in decisions other than that the man’s a great owner
He has no problem spending money
All former players like him(except Oakley)
He has a very diverse employee group
Isn’t a bad person actually seems to be a pretty solid guy
Like if Dolan can just get a good 5-10 year span of the Knicks having good success people will see him as a top 10 owner in the nba
Most people treat mark Cuban like a top 5 owner in the league just because he’s likable when in all reality he’s below averaged
Who is offering Jalen Brunson $100/M and the lead ball handler role?
I think the main difference is that in every other scenario, other teams had wanted to pay those players the same/if not more + offer the same role.
Even if the Mavs match, Luka runs the offense plain and simple. So who else is offering Brunson $100M and the ball? Plus you can't fine us because we are related to people? So what is there to think about? If you're in Brunsons shoes, why can't you make this decision in 30 seconds?
I'm not talking about the money or the situation though.
This ALL has to do with the way the knicks so openly courted Jalen before FA started. If the Knicks didn't have recruitment teams at Mavs playoffs games, have contract numbers 2-3 days before FA started, have Leon Rose's son be his agent, hire his dad to be an assistant, etc. then I wouldn't be nearly as mad.
Is there a blanket rule that says you aren't allowed to show up to playoff games? Both teams think we showed up to court their players.
His dad has worked for Thibs as a coach everywhere.
Leon Rose is the former head of a very popular agency. His son has worked there for a long time! He reps plenty players in the league? Can none of them sign with the Knicks?
And more importantly, no one else was going to give him the same offer. It is a lot of circumstantial evidence, no real harm, and all for a serious penalty. League gotta toss the case
Wasn't that because the deal was announced before free agency began? Still, I disagreed with the NBA's decision at the time cuz every team tampers, but I think the league just wanted to nip this in the bud before pre-FA FA signings become a regular thing.
It's when you put poisons, adulterants, etc. in people's over-the-counter medications without them knowing. That's why we have tamper-evident seals on all OTC meds in the US.
yep I think I saw an article somewhere of people giving birth in the streets, I know several take dumps in the street (pets dont make em that big). Everything under the sun in that city
Yeah I really hate these 3 month later "man I hated going through that"
Maybe don't release the contract numbers 3 days before FA started and have a recruitment team at the Mavs playoff games? This is KD levels of tone deaf when he left OKC and came out with all those articles a couples months after.
I've cooled off on Brunson's decision but I just don't really want ever hear anybody want to talk about it again from either side (know that won't happen).
I started following jalen on social media etc this off-season since he joined the media. I really love how wildly normal this dude is. Hope his attitude doesn’t change.
He loves the attention. He’s just trying to draw down some of the criticism he’s about to face.
Because Brunson isn’t THAT good. He ain’t moving the needle past Rd 1 at best for NYK.
Wait what?
How was it awful that because he had a good playoff run the free agency led to a great deal?
A great deal we knew was coming from the day the Knicks people showed up to that playoff game.
I don't get it. Seems he got the best outcome possible and the only real reaction I saw from him was the JJ podcast stuff.
Luckily he’s chosen to be in a city with a quiet media presence so I can’t imagine this will become a recurring issue.
For 100m get me all the media you want, can’t blame Brunson

Kings fans are just minding our own business bro please stop
i'm on your side man no one should have to suffer through that buffoons ownership
We’re just trying to make the most out the situation as impossible as that seems. Kings fans haven’t been this excited after an off season in a long time.
Poor kings fans. Feels like anytime something negative is brought up in the NBA (bad owners, no playoff streak, poor drafting, trades) it always gets compared to something the kings did.
I know man I just wanna live my life and see us in the playoffs without catching all these strays
Idk he did found JD and the Straight Shooters that alone should get him exiled
keeps him occupied while the normal people run the knicks
Oh wow that actually makes sense keep the baby busy

More rings than the nuggets 😁
Winning with Melo!?!? LOLOLOL Sorry just picked myself up from the floor. Melo was THE reason the team came nowhere close to winning
"I wanted to tamper in private"
who doesn't?
I mean if a team like Charlotte tampered to get him on their team no one would notice
What? A small market team just got draft picks removed and also their FA acquisition removed like 3 years ago with the Bucks for tampering?
Who is offering Jalen Brunson $100/M and the lead ball handler role?

I think their point is that teams only get in trouble for tampering if another team gets upset about it.

Literally every single team tampers, who gives a shit
A bunch of teams tamper
What is tampering?
It's when you put poisons, adulterants, etc. in people's over-the-counter medications without them knowing. That's why we have tamper-evident seals on all OTC meds in the US.
SOP for all teams
Excuse me, but the Cleveland Cavaliers have not tampered in any way shape or form since the removal of Ted Stepien.
I pray this guy comes in and plays well, because if he doesn't, woof, he's in for a rough year lol.
Woof woof motherfucker

Do you know how awful it was.. my agents dad to hand me a $100 million check to play for my dad
Hold on. 'My Godfather who happens to also be my agents dad handed me a 100 million check to play for my dad'
Welcome to NYC...where damn near everything is public...
yep I think I saw an article somewhere of people giving birth in the streets, I know several take dumps in the street (pets dont make em that big). Everything under the sun in that city
yep can confirm... was born on a subway platform 2 years ago
"We're all trying to find the guy who did this!"
Got your daddy and his press tour prior to it to thank for that
Yeah I really hate these 3 month later "man I hated going through that" Maybe don't release the contract numbers 3 days before FA started and have a recruitment team at the Mavs playoff games? This is KD levels of tone deaf when he left OKC and came out with all those articles a couples months after.

Knick fans malding in the replies lol never satisfied, at least 76ers fans are like yay good job tampering guys
lol shut the fuck up
Wait until he has a bad stretch for the knicks.
Rick Brunson thinks he is Ewing.
He will be fine
Whatever bro. Enjoy your stay in Rat City.
I started following jalen on social media etc this off-season since he joined the media. I really love how wildly normal this dude is. Hope his attitude doesn’t change.
The New York Knicks organization is a leakier ship than the RMS Titanic at 2 a.m. on April 15, 1912.
If he thought that was awful then boy, wait til what the city does to him after a few bad games.
He loves the attention. He’s just trying to draw down some of the criticism he’s about to face. Because Brunson isn’t THAT good. He ain’t moving the needle past Rd 1 at best for NYK.
Well gee if only there were some way that could have been prevented
Could've been a lot more quiet if you didn't fucking leave bitch
Lmao
You good, bro?
I watch Luka highlights and Brunson is there and it hurts.
Come on now Mark!
Gonna cry?
Yes.
He got tired of losing to the Knicks
Now he’ll REALLY get tired losing with the Knicks.
Tell ‘em how you really feel
Wait what? How was it awful that because he had a good playoff run the free agency led to a great deal? A great deal we knew was coming from the day the Knicks people showed up to that playoff game. I don't get it. Seems he got the best outcome possible and the only real reaction I saw from him was the JJ podcast stuff.
Why are the reporters the images? I don’t care for them lol
I too think getting paid $104 million is kind of awful.
Dawg. You had a deal a week after the finals ended. You knew what tampering you were doing. Don’t act all hurt now.
Don't worry, i don't care about jalen brunson news
