    Take out Luke's stupid lineups to start the year and our December of death and this is likely a .500 team eyeing the playoffs.

    I got one. We beat OKC a few days ago in their arena. Last night OKC put a beat down on GS. Tomorrow night when we put a "beat down" ourselves on OKC in our crib it will all become clear to PG that he's coming home this summer to be the Man here and sleep in his own bed. Instead of farting around on the prairie playing Tonto.

    What's 50K when you're printing money?
    :Magic Brows:



    $140M in profit last season being a bottom-feeder team. What do you think those profit margins will look like with 2 stars here taking us deep into the playoffs?

    ^...hard to fathom the Knicks are worth THAT much. They haven't won anything since forever.

    Is it Thursday yet? Are we there yet?

    I am extremely optimistic now. About 2018/1019 of course.

    And Windhorst. He’s gushing about us on The Jump. Saying we’ve totally changed things for this summer freeing up this money, and that just days ago we were telling him we “had nothing for Jordan Clarkson”. Smoke screen/leverage play successful.

    When both LeBron and PG13 come over this summer, would it be Declining Lebron's Team or Prime Paul George's? I'm so confused.
