Nets the favorites to sign Durant, betting wise.
Knicks fans still like to think nobody would sign with the Nets before the Knicks?
Nets are a better destination for star players.
As a Knicks fan, I wouldn't sign KD for 4 years anyway, but still I find other Knicks fans attitudes very amusing. How long do they have to be a joke before the unwarranted cockiness stops?

Ya I'm done with this team Lol. Really went sour after that Dolan kicking out that fan for chanting sell the team and the Oakley incident.
That's not even including the multitude of busts, bad contracts and bad hires they've made the past 19 years.

If they don't get Durant I don't care, just stay the course and build organically like the Warriors did. It's about time they did things the right way. If Durant or Kawhi want to sign you cannot say no, otherwise stay on the path

I know it hurts to hear, but I don't blame any stars for not wanting to come here.
Yah know what though? That's okay. Keep drafting, developing, and grow into a hardworking team that comes to compete every night. Make it a destination that stars want to come to, instead of constantly tearing the team down and hoping a superstar is going to come here and solve all our problems in 1 magical offseason.

I think one of the biggest reasons why I was interested in an injured KD is that I had zero faith that this doofus team would suddenly snap out of their several decades long inability to cultivate a young, good team lol.
Ya except they've been drafting and trading for bad players in their current iteration of the rebuild besides Mitchell Robinson. They are closer to the Timberwolves than the Warriors.
But that's besides the point. Dolan has done far too much damage to the franchise. Nothing will change unless he sells the team to entice top FAs or executives from signing here. He's a pompous dbag that makes the team hard to root for. That's why you see potential HOFers make them out as a joke like Igoudala did on live television.

Warriors will sign KD to supermax and maybe do a sign and trade to get something out of it.

Its so strange how we have an owner who over the last 10 years or so has been ideal for one of his team in the Rangers. Then for his other team the Knicks had been truly awful. If I was an NHL player I would love to join the Rangers organization and how its run. As an NBA player I would stay far away. Hoping with this coach in place an Barret they can finally form an identity that doesn't have to deal with Dolan and his hijinks at courtside.

Dolan’s odiousness along with the Nets moving to and embracing my home borough made it very easy to switch my allegiance. I have been a much happier basketball fan ever since, even through the dark times that followed the KG trade.

Dolan did screw so much up with them under Walsh and had awful hirings in Thomas and Phil Jackson, but Perry and Mills seem to have things going in the right direction. His hiring and meddling with the team is what cost him. They've only been on the job for two drafts and two sets of free agency. When they got the jobs, they were cap strapped and other than Porzingis, had no younger players making an impact.
Now, they cleared out KP when things went completely south and made a good trade. The future firsts are a beautiful thing, especially if Dallas whiffs on getting another player to go with KP and Doncic. With the way the west is, that could end up being lottery picks (2021 pick is unprotected and 2023 is top 10 protected). The 2021 pick could have huge value.
Two drafts, Mitchell Robinson and Knox showing promise, now Barrett being the #1 overall player at the beginning of the season being taken at #3. Signed Trier and that has turned out great. Not sure if he is a starter long term, but finding a bench scorer as an UDFA is a big deal. Got DSJ, who Phil should have drafted (although the talk was that the Knicks were contemplating Frank and Donovan Mitchell, which I'm not 100% sure is true), and now have given the team the flexibility to add two top free agents or go shopping for some younger RFAs or UFAs.
The Knicks franchise is in it's best position since just before the Melo trade which ruined the build that Walsh made. Went from deep with younger players to having an older roster and a limited window. The AD trade would have done the same. Glad they learned that lesson.
