NBA 2025-26 Season Thread: THE NY KNICKS ARE CHAMPIONS! BING BONG!
Lettuce NBA!
and lettuce lol @ James Harden
Aye, Ujiri out for the Raptors, unlike the Maple Leafs, they will be looking for a new president.
That 50 spot off the bench for Malachi against the Hawks is a fun career footnote.
Yeah I don't get it.
He saved the Raps rom being a joke franchise and turned them into a champion.
Apparently it was Rogers the evil Canadian corporate ghoul who always wanted it. (guy who owns Raptors is the head of Rogers who everyone in Canada hates for monopoly related stuff).
Yeah I don't get it.

This is correct. They are the majority owner now.

He's been awful for a half decade now and is paid an absurd amount
yeah it was time to go, he was clearly clueless and had no plan post-championship. just floundering around aimlessly collecting shooting guards that can't shoot
Wow, I had no idea he played 4 games for the Hornets in March. From the Raptors to the Knicks to the Pistons to the Hornets to Turkey. That's quite the career path.
Some of the former player career arcs are nuts. I was just looking at OJ Mayo's a few weeks ago. It's
USC -> Memphis -> Mavs -> Bucks -> Puerto Rico -> Taiwan -> China -> Taiwan -> China -> Russia -> Egypt
and was last known to be coaching in China.
OJ is a name that’s a blast from the past. He had so much potential.
Raptors won, Kawhi left, and that team was at the end of its relevance. Lowry Ibaka and Gasol all immediately aged out. They had to rebuild and yeah it hasn't been perfect but we have a solid all around cast now.
Masai was respected.
New regime gonna be Rogers yes bitches.
Credit to Masai tho, guy rolled the dice, spike an 11, and rode that gamble for years.
Naz Reid 5/125
Sick gig for Naz.
If I was Boston I’d tank for a top 4 pick next year and get one of guys who are #1 pick worthy.
Trade Jaylen Brown
Trade Derrick White
Get it done!!!
lol beasley wtf
he was gonna get paid too
he probably gets banned for ****ing life now. tis a shame
I pretty much hate KAT now, so really hoping for this:
KAT for LeBron
money works (KAT 53.1M for LeBron 52.6M and 1.9M for Bronny)
This would enable the Knicks to have:
OG slide down to the 3 where he is a man beast
Mikal to play his best position at the 2
KAT and Luka would be a fun offensive pairing, and going forward, the Lakers would look to surround them with 3 positive defenders.
And yes I know LeBron has a NTC but I think he would love to play with Brunson, enjoy home games in the MECCA, and if he brings a title to the Knicks he would become a NYC Basketball Legend!
"A gambling industry source pointed to a game between the Bucks and the Portland Trail Blazers on Jan. 31, 2024. The odds on Beasley recording fewer than 2.5 rebounds moved significantly at sportsbooks before the game, shortening from around +120 to around -250 due to a surge of action on the under. Beasley finished with six rebounds, and the bets that were deemed unusual lost."
What?

How much could someone possibly have been paying Beasley to manipulate his rebounding stats? I assume that it would be quite difficult to get huge money down on Malik Beasley's rebounding totals during a regular season game.
But then Beasley had 6 rebounds...
