I know you’re really negative and pessimistic at this point, but don’t let that cloud your memory on landing Curry.
Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

DL made plenty of mistakes along the way, but he was out by the time the Favors trade went down, that one was all Zanik. Zanik also deserves as much blame as DL for signing Favors back in the first place, as he was the GM and likely had a big say in the decision.

Hopefully it just conveys 24 or 25 because the Jazz have bottomed out and picked themselves back up out of the lottery.
Not even close. Conley deal is far and away the worst trade ever. What we could have got for the money we gave him could have put us over the top.
The Conley trade helped us get the best record in the league. If he didn’t get injured in the playoffs we are in the WCF for the first time since 2007.
Secondly, we can play the what if game all day but we have no idea what else was available. The cost now in hindsight is still very minimal compared to what guys are going for now. It was essentially two late firsts and some salary filler.
I’m just glad we went for it and ultimately the entire team underwhelmed in the playoffs mostly on the defensive side of the ball unfortunately.
Keep dieing on that hill. The Conley trade was a disaster. If we would have kept the same team minus Favors and adding Bogey would have been much better than the Conley team. Add in Brandon Clarke with the pick Memphis got from us and either McDaniels or Bane rather than Udoka and we may have a title right now.
I also love how people talk about the Conley injury but ignore that Kawhi injury.

Isn't the Milwaukee pick such that it conveys to us if it is top 4 otherwise we get nothing? That is the ultimate garbage pick.

The opposite
He was a fake all star. Also do you want to know what our record was without Conley during the 20-21 season? 15-6. The year before we were 18-7 in the games without Conley. Conley didn't lead us to **** and the only reason he played in the all star game was because other guys were injured. That isn't a real all star.

Who are those teams with better packages than New York?

I know that everyone is psyched over the picks, but I am starting to warm up to the actual players received, especially those from the Cavs deal.
The players are what really pushes this deal over the top in our favor.

I am so, so, so very happy with how this happened.
Dumb cocky freshfaces from CAA thought they could go up against an OG and corner him into a bad trade.
Danny has lost trades before, and made bad moves -- but you don't beat Ainge on a trade with bullying.
Poverty franchise learning this lesson the hard way. Absolutely devastating result for the Knicks brass-- ignore the fans & their copium, this is absolutely an abject failure for a franchise that has very publicly prepared for the opportunity to bring Mitchell back to NY for several years.
At the end of the day, they got too cocky; the double whammy is them signing a thoroughly mid player to over 30 million a year; the triple whammy is having ****** vets tied to back contracts, and needing to send assets to clear them & play their youth; quadruple whammy is them trading away a lottery pick for cap room that's not getting used.
I'm going to give it two years before Leon Rose gets canned. That's why we are seeing unprecedented damage control -- Leon knows how bad the music is going to get in 6 months. Y'all, I cannot *wait* to see the talking heads eviscerate the Knicks throughout this coming season. It'll probably be the most satisfying plot line in the NBA next year.
I'm glad Donovan is gone, and I wish Rudy the very best.

No , Conley deserved it that year. He was an insanely efficient advanced stats player that year.
You can’t lay this all at the feet of Knicks brass. There was a MSG security officer from a temp agency who was running the phones that day. Besides, Rose already offered Patrick Ewing, Adam Sandler and the Carnegie Deli back in June.

He's apparently an "incredible team-builder". Strange that a guy with his rep has to do so much damage control.
