Knick Fans, JD, Just Say No … to Giannis

JD, don’t do it. Knick fans, contain yourselves.
I know you want to. I know you want a Big Splash as big as the Big Apple.
I know you want Giannis in NY.
New York fans are owed. They shoulda got Lebron. Then KD and Kyrie.
They deserve a transcendental superstar that chooses New York.
But not this time. The Knicks need size and shooting, not another ball dominator.
We don’t mind a GREAT move that involves KAT, and/or Clarkson and/or Yusebele.
But don’t rewire this team for Giannis. The nucleus is working.
Well, that’s conditional. The nucleus is working WHEN Josh, Landry, and OG are making shots, and Brunson is dishing.
The Knicks don’t lose when Josh gets 20 or more – they are 6-0. 2-0 when Landry gets 20. OG gets 20 or more, and the Knicks are 13-3.
Brunson is a score-first PG, averaging only 6.1 APG, low among leading NBA point guards.
But the Knicks win more when Brunson is dishing, at 14-6 when Brunse gets 7 or more dimes.
Jalen and the Knicks are showing signs of becoming more fluid, and less isolated on offense.
But they need more guys that can shoot it to become a championship threat.
Unfortunately, among OG, Josh, and Landry, only Landry is an everyday, every open shot NBA shooter, so while the win numbers are gaudy when they shoot it well, they are not collectively reliable enough to be called “shooters.”
Tyler Kolek has shown flashes of a solid all-around game, while Jordan Clarkson has largely disappointed as a poor fit in the Knicks scheme, and neither provides reliable shooting off the bench.
Giannis does not bring more shooting to this team.
He’s a creator, but who is he dishing to?
Myles Turner or Bobby Portis, paired with Giannis, are intriguing possibilities, but certainly assure Towns is no longer a Knick, along with a wider disruption to the team Leon Rose has carefully assembled.
The NBA has migrated away from multiple super-star teams that do not mesh.
It worked – kinda – in Miam with Lebron, Wade and Bosh. It failed terribly pretty much everywhere else. Including New York, when Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire were a worse pairing then Kim and Kanye.
Pairing Giannis with Brunse would be a disaster, the Knicks offense would look like a bad MMA fight.
Dolan is weak for superstars. New York fans are tired of being spurned, and want to be loved, to be CHOSEN, by a superstar.
But this isn’t the time. This Knick fan begs .. Just Say No. To Giannis.
Bill, We’re Glad.

Dear Bill,
We hope this note finds you and Jordan well.
Ok, we’re lying: we hope you’re both in the emotional equivalent of mortal pain, tortured by the fact that we did not elect you to the HOF.
We thought it important that you know why.
It’s because we hate you. And just when we thought you were the most unlikable person in the entire football-verse, you hooked up with Shrewie, the most blatant and obvious gold-digger since the 49-ers invaded California.
“Winning” does not make you a Great Man. We elect Great Men on the first ballot. We don’t elect rumpled, mean-spirited dismissive cheaters.
There are NFL jobs available. But nobody wants the winningest coach in history.
They want(ed” a guy with one Super Bowl, Jim Harbaugh, he lasted on the market about as long as a raisin in the Sun.
Mike Tomlin will pick his next job, if he feels like it. With his ONE Super Bowl,
You? You will toil over a fake college program the way you toil over Jordan’ faking orgasms: nobody real wants you.
You thought winning was the ultimate and only qualifier for Greatness. Wrong.
See ya next year, and hopefully, we’ll better like what we see.
Love,
The Football HOF Voting Committee
