Rob is entering Jim Buss territory with Jim's 3-4 year promise. He's not quite there, but he's had us waiting for this magical '26 summer for years. Kicking it all down the road until this magical summer. Now that we've arrived, it ain't so special. We're not getting Giannis (i didn't want him) and FA sucks. Only two other teams are showing up to this summer as buyers and neither are even playoff level teams. Did he misread it this poorly?

Luka is applying pressure and his camp is leaking the promises made for the summer of '26. It's been leaked that now we're focused on the trade market because FA isn't impressive. All while Rob has to show new ownership that he deserves to be here.

And like I said in the big thread, he basically has one NBA season to accomplish that the Knicks did in 3 years.

There's options, there's pathways. But they're narrow and have to go perfect for this to work and for him to save his job.

Vegas isn't on his side. I'm doubtful and hopeful at the same time.

Yeah, it's definitely now or never for him. I expect us to upgrade the roster one way or another.
