Don’t laugh at the Knicks, their front office deserves praise for free agency moves

If you’re a Nets fan, you have the right to laugh and make fun of them – you pipped them to their top two targets – but for the rest of the NBA? They have no reason to laugh. If anything, the Knicks front office should be praised for what they did.

Brooklyn Nets should celebrate signing of Irving despite obvious risk

The decision will be met with its fair share of raised eyebrows after Irving’s most recent season with the Celtics turned out to be a disaster of epic proportions. However, Irving is one of the premier players and point guards in the league, as well as being a Brooklyn native, thus the argument can be made that for a team looking to break into the upper echelon of the NBA, Irving is the exact type of superstar to lead you there.

Should Kevin Durant take the supermax with the Golden State Warriors?

As they rode off into the sunset the Warriors took stock of their losses, especially on their injury list. Klay Thompson tore his ACL in game 6, and the NBA’s pantomime villain Kevin Durant suffered a torn Achilles in game 5. A harsh sense of schadenfreude surrounded the Durant injury. After all, the prevailing opinion was that he had left the Oklahoma City Thunder to join a 73-9 superteam and ease to multiple titles.

Warriors’ playoff run is tarnishing Kevin Durant’s legacy, could force him to New York

In the games that Curry has started since Durant went down, the former back-to-back MVP has scored at least 30 points in each game. When Durant is not playing and Curry has control over the team, the Warriors become a passing, moving, cutting and shooting monster. Players playing harder and for each other.

The Knicks must stick to their plan if they are to construct a contender

But for once in a blue moon, the Knicks actually seem like they have a plan and they seem like they’re going to stick to it. It’s like Doctor Strange from Infinity War. There are fourteen million six hundred and five outcomes for the next decade or so of the NBA, and there’s only one where the Knicks can win. By sticking to their plan.
