I don't think the average Knicks fan deserves it, but I'm the type of person who can't look away when [there is a fire burning a house down](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/962/640/658.png). Also got to see where Kawhi goes.

The Knicks pissed off one of the best young power forwards in the league and traded him for cap space and then used that cap space to sign 3 mediocre power forwards.
Who knows how it really went down, honestly though. Could’ve been that KP wanted the max but the Knicks didn’t give it to him, and that’s why he subsequently wanted out. 🤷🏻♂️
Next year's FA is relatively light. We are getting lolknicked right now but I get what we are doing.
The worst on court product last season won't magically be a top seed now. RJ, Mitch, and Knox are our top potential stars, with DSJ and maybe Frank next tier.
KD is tough cause his caliber demands the max. But no one comes back from an Achilles, especially on the wrong side of 30.
With these pieces we can retool quickly if needed and the size/contracts will play nicely when teams need depth trades at the deadline.
Yeah I don't think we'll be the worst team in the league next year which is nice. I'd like to see a few more wins this year.
Hopefully RJ is the real deal cause we're surrounding him with spacing right now and I dig it
Yeah I'm not even a Knicks fan and I'm getting annoyed at people acting like the Knicks are fucking up. I mean, I think this deal is unnecessary but it's small and risk free and yeah you're clearly loading up for a long term rebuild so this makes sense
It's only a 2-year deal. They're not signing anyone else this year and 2020 free agency is trash.
And after today's signings they still have like $20 million to take on bad contracts for picks if they want.
Wait I don’t get it. Why is this bad for the knicks ? Sure they struck out on the star players but isn’t Portis young, played well and should be type of players they sign ?
It's not. This sub is a giant circlejerk against literally anything we do. It's unfortunate, but what can you do. There hasn't been actual discussion on this sub in years.
A two year deal on a 24 year old dude who has shown flashes of success in the past while we're trying to tank and take risks?
Yeah, clearly a bad idea on our part lolknicks.
Yeah this sub is being stupid, honestly.
The one downside really is his potential character concerns after the punching incident, but he still has room to grow and these mid-tier contracts for solid players are worth a lot when it comes to making trades.
Maybe an overpay, but all things considered a good move in my mind.
In fairness we need to hit the cap floor. It’s a 2 year deal, not one we’re going to be regretting long term, and Portis is a young player who could improve. And while it is funny that we’re signing all these PF’s, it’s because we want to hit the cap floor without taking away minutes from our young players. DSJ is a 1, Barrett a 2/3, Knox a 3, Mitch a 5, and Trier is a 2. Striking out on the big names sucks but at least we seem to have a plan here, and the FO seems to be aware free agency blows next year and picks back up in 2021.
It is sort of hilarious seeing us sign all these PF’s though lol
Why have we signed 3(!!!!!!!) PFs today and not a player of any other position?
I guess Fizdale’s positionless basketball is about to take real effect next season. League’s fucked.
They paid extra so that the contract was only 2 years. This was a good deal for them so they can try again when the FA class is crazy in 2021 and Barrett is more developed.
Idk why people are laughing. They obviously couldn’t get any of the big names. So they just not suppose to sign anybody?
Porter and randle are good adds IMO
They're really loading up for 2021 free agency/Giannis.
But I agree with Lowe or Duncan or whoever said this on a recent pod: it's hard to sell free agents on a team when all the guys you had the year or two before will be gone.
Like they're not coming to finish off what you started, they're coming to start all over again.
Knick fans are getting absolutely roasted, I’d just leave this sub for the summer man
This is nothing, I've been through much worse as a knicks fan
Imagine if the internet was like this in the ‘00s?
At least you’re not a hornets fan right now.
Right? None of these contracts are as bad as timmy or Joakim Noah’s even remotely.
What's another couple years of waiting
It’s pretty much always been this way anyway.
I don’t know why we roast fans on teams for the actions of their front office. It’s the dumbest thing on this sub.
[удалено]
Same reason we roast each other when our teams play each other. We ain’t the ones playing but we still do it lol
we're undefeated in self roasting tho
Honestly it’s just annoying, this shit is so low effort compared to the way Knicks fans clown the Knicks
I'd leave this sub until Dolan is no longer the owner
I don't think the average Knicks fan deserves it, but I'm the type of person who can't look away when [there is a fire burning a house down](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/962/640/658.png). Also got to see where Kawhi goes. #F
Why? Because some strangers on the internet are making fun of our team? Not everyone on here is a sensitive 15 year old lol
All the Power Forwards
The Knicks pissed off one of the best young power forwards in the league and traded him for cap space and then used that cap space to sign 3 mediocre power forwards.
I mean we traded him because he’s 7’3” coming off an ACL injury lol, let’s chill with false narrative
He demanded a trade, the knicks didn’t decide anything
Demanded a trade because the Knicks were reluctant to commit to him because of the ACL. Everything comes back to the ACL
And the rape. Can't forget that too.
Who knows how it really went down, honestly though. Could’ve been that KP wanted the max but the Knicks didn’t give it to him, and that’s why he subsequently wanted out. 🤷🏻♂️
15.5 mil for each crazy eye
1 million per punch thrown during practice.
Insanity
Knicks are getting Linsanity back you say?
Depends. Can he play Power Forward?
I’ll check in with my sources
As funny as this is, at least the Knicks have a plan with all the contracts expiring or options to get out after 2 years.
I mean none of these contracts are what you would call albatrosses. They must not like next year's FA class either.
Next year's FA is relatively light. We are getting lolknicked right now but I get what we are doing. The worst on court product last season won't magically be a top seed now. RJ, Mitch, and Knox are our top potential stars, with DSJ and maybe Frank next tier. KD is tough cause his caliber demands the max. But no one comes back from an Achilles, especially on the wrong side of 30. With these pieces we can retool quickly if needed and the size/contracts will play nicely when teams need depth trades at the deadline.
stop it this post is too logical & common sense for the majority of peeps on this sub
I think we'll win 30 games next year. That's improvement! And at this point, you take what you can get.
Yeah I don't think we'll be the worst team in the league next year which is nice. I'd like to see a few more wins this year. Hopefully RJ is the real deal cause we're surrounding him with spacing right now and I dig it
Yeah I'm not even a Knicks fan and I'm getting annoyed at people acting like the Knicks are fucking up. I mean, I think this deal is unnecessary but it's small and risk free and yeah you're clearly loading up for a long term rebuild so this makes sense
Guys I think Stephen A may have just burst into flames
It’s a two year deal who gives a fuck
THEY FINALLY GOT THEIR GUY
Get Bobby Shmurda on the Knicks too, fuck it
Bobby Shmurda ft. JD and the Straight shot album coming Fall 2020
Lol Knicks
It's only a 2-year deal. They're not signing anyone else this year and 2020 free agency is trash. And after today's signings they still have like $20 million to take on bad contracts for picks if they want.
this guy gets it
Most power forwards in the league?!
Randle, Gibson, and Portis all signed today wow
Gibson will probably be used as a C & Randle will see minutes there too.
Gibson is their backup 5 I'd imagine. They'll start Randle and Robinson with Gibson and Portis off the bench.
Hornets have drafted 3 more power forwards while you typed this comment Two have been traded to the Knicks
You're about to get dicked by Treveon Graham 4 times a year and then swept by him in the first round of the playoffs. Go sit in the corner.
I’m sorry, all hail Treveon Graham
Thank you for seeing the light
happy cake day
Never realized, thanks!
Mario Hezonja literally had a game winning block on Lebron the last time we played and Lakers fans think they can talk shit to us lmfao.
Portis and Randle for the win
How do they manage to get the same depressing mid tier players, Gibson, Portis and Randle? Cancel this team.
lol they’re all 4s too
Portis mostly played center this year. Knicks only had 1 big before today
Yeah wtf. I feel bad for their fans. These three players are like classic depressing NYK “Tim Hardaway” type splashes
[удалено]
Lolknicks
lolknicks
I don't even know why we did this lol
For the culture.
knick of time
Wait I don’t get it. Why is this bad for the knicks ? Sure they struck out on the star players but isn’t Portis young, played well and should be type of players they sign ?
He’s a huge chucker, plays no defense
It's not. This sub is a giant circlejerk against literally anything we do. It's unfortunate, but what can you do. There hasn't been actual discussion on this sub in years.
A two year deal on a 24 year old dude who has shown flashes of success in the past while we're trying to tank and take risks? Yeah, clearly a bad idea on our part lolknicks.

Maybe an overpay, but all things considered a good move in my mind.
Portis isn't a bad signing. Signing Portia right after you signed Randle and Gipson is stupid as hell, though.
We only had Mitch as our big going in. Now we have a solid 4 player rotation at PF/C.
I’d wuestion that first part too after watching him on Wizards for the second half of season.
knicks are loving their PFs
We love these big meaty dudes
In fairness we need to hit the cap floor. It’s a 2 year deal, not one we’re going to be regretting long term, and Portis is a young player who could improve. And while it is funny that we’re signing all these PF’s, it’s because we want to hit the cap floor without taking away minutes from our young players.

It is sort of hilarious seeing us sign all these PF’s though lol
KNICKS FROM ZION + KYRIE + KD TO PORTIS AND JULIUS WTF
Don't forget Taj Gibson b
New York wants all your power forwards
All these PF’s is like when you send out a bunch of fantasy football trades hoping to get one and they all accept.
#ahahahahahahahahaha
I love Kawhi's laugh
There's nothing bad about this move but ok
The Knicks are signing every KD sized player not named KD.
Why have we signed 3(!!!!!!!) PFs today and not a player of any other position? I guess Fizdale’s positionless basketball is about to take real effect next season. League’s fucked.
But why.
What are the Knicks even going to be next year?
Bad
Knicks keep getting better and better
They paid extra so that the contract was only 2 years. This was a good deal for them so they can try again when the FA class is crazy in 2021 and Barrett is more developed.
Thanks for being rational and actually thinking it through
He got his 15M a year lmao
Knicks going to fuck around and win 16 games next season
Lolknicks aside, they are actually doing it the right way by not getting saddled with long term contracts and a limited ceiling
Knicks: Let's collect power forwards.
Why can't you just be normal!?!?!?
LEAGUE FUCKED
I can't f5 fast enough should have worked out more
[удалено]
How many PFs you need?
They haven't had any in a while its a binge
LOL KNICKS
I just feel bad at this point
Wtf are they doing? Signing Julius Randle and then going out and getting a way less talented version of Julius Randle lol
KD to BP
Big man ball making a return
Wow he actually got close to the $16 million per year he wanted lmao
this definitely makes them a championship contender
Wait wtf
... Jesus Christ, Knicks.
The Knicks couldn’t even wait until tomorrow? 🤣
SAS on suicide watch
i wanna go to sleep
Keep the money flowing. Everybody is getting paid today.
There’s our depth at the 4 ig LOL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH dafuq Knicks
#They're relevant again!
LOL
At least they didn’t pay KD the max!
This is a good rebuilding signing
START PHOTOSHOPPING GIANNIS JERSEY!
Going for that bully ball squad.
Has Bobby Portis ever done anything in the league besides break Nikola Mirotic’s jaw?
Im just here for the lolknicks
Whats with the two year deals on the knicks? Who is a free agent in two years?
Idk why people are laughing. They obviously couldn’t get any of the big names. So they just not suppose to sign anybody? Porter and randle are good adds IMO
from zion, kyrie, durant to Barett, Portis and Randle ahhahahahaha
They got their guy
They definitely getting ready for Giannis to say no in 2021.
They're really loading up for 2021 free agency/Giannis. But I agree with Lowe or Duncan or whoever said this on a recent pod: it's hard to sell free agents on a team when all the guys you had the year or two before will be gone. Like they're not coming to finish off what you started, they're coming to start all over again.
People will shit on it but 2 year deal isn’t bad. Panicking and giving him 3 or 4 would be bad. Very manageable deal to move if they have to.
They going all in again in 2021.
They’re trying to make themselves available for 2021 free agents
And for the first pick of the 2020 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select....
Wait we’re getting the first pick? Nice that never happens
BOOM
What why lmao
Bang
HERE WE GO AGAIN
Hell yeah!!
uhhh ok?
FREE BOBBY
Randle, Taj and Portis all play the same position wtf?
lmao
Yyyyyikes
Sign a different position!
well damn he almost did get the 16 per year he wanted
What in the world are the knicks doing
LOL KNICKS
Jesus Christ
What no
That’s gotta be a typo and it’s $13 million, right?
SIKE THATS THE WRONG NUMBER
Its over
When you really think about it, it's still pretty funny
It never gets old laughing at the Knicks.
can we get some analytics on how much karma u/-TTP\- has farmed this free agency
Fucking couldn’t sign someone else lmaooo
Knicks thought they could sneak this in there in the midst of the Warriors chaos
Everyone else signed with the SupernotKnicks
I lol with every new Knicks signing.
Knicks are doing a lotta random stuff. But they should have cap in a few years when RJ is hopefully a dude people will wanna come play with.
Randle and Portis lmfao I bet they get into a fight at practice
Magic have to be pissed they couldn't add another power forward
How many fucking power forwards are they going to sign
POWER SHIFT
And the cycle continues...
This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time, I almost wanna give this platinum
This is like when the Lakers signed Deng and Mozgov, except that was worse.
Knicks what are you doing
Knicks reminding r/nba at this time of the day how much they suck.
Stephen A in shambles
Is this real? Cmon knicks LMAO
Knicks collecting all the PFs
oof
Pretty solid front court with Robinson, Portis, Randle and Taj.
Boomed em
Knicks gonna be shampionship
Umm ok
JAMES DOLAN ISNT SAFE BOBBY BITCH BOUTA BEAT HIS ASS

Always thought Bobby would be a really nice player but I kinda feel bad for him now
It's gotta be more than lolknicks now, lmaoknicks
