this type of post getting popular was the harbinger of this sub turning to total shit.

this place used to be full of funny, halfway smart people who actually enjoyed basketball. now it’s just a bunch of whiny idiot haters

This sub always had ups and downs but the hater posts got real bad after the pandemic.

I don’t think it’s actually getting worse since then tho. If so I’m just numb to it.

We start with the superstar hate, Luka, Shai, Jokic, then we go down to Cade, Brown, whoever, now we are at Mikal Bridges. Soon we will see hate posts about Luke Kornet being terrible

Way past that, this sub easily hate on end of bench dude or 19 y.o like Bronny who was statistically top 10 most hated dude from another post. People forget the nba “sons” has been around from the likes of austin rivers to Steph and Kobe.

Yeah, like I don’t even need to look at the score to know who lost. All I have to do is see which player got the nightly “lowlights” thread. “Oh, Mikal is getting shit on. The Knicks must have lost”

Even as a Nets fan, this shit is so tired. Every pist HAS to be dunking on someone.

Also the “Thoughts?”, as if he’s actually trying to generate discussion, instead of just trolling and baiting.

it’s got nothing to do with Trump or America, this same shit has been happening in all the sports subs i follow. it’s just the effect of social media in sports fandom. the algorithm punishes anything that isn’t explicitly engagement farming, so anyone who actually wants to talk about the sport itself has to wade through an ocean of memelords, narrative pushers, baiters, and bots first.

5 first round picks is a lot but it was also because it was paired with bojan bogdanovic who is out of the league which many of you love to leave out when mentioning this trade lol

fr. Bojan was a 15-20-point scorer at the time of the trade. Plus, you gotta keep your superstar who took a paycut happy. Power of friendship

You do realize that you don’t have to pick players with those picks right? You can trade them. If the Knicks didn’t make the Bridges trade, Giannis would be a Knick right now. Or anyone who doesn’t get benched in the fourth quarter. You Knicks fans keep saying this bullshit about late first round picks. Picks are not only used in the draft. They could be traded. For a better player than Mika Bridges.

And your entire competitiveness is based on a 6ft guard who already looks slower than couple of years ago. How do you know how the Knicks will look in 2028 or 2029 or 2031. You a fortune teller?

-xXxMangoxXx- | Raptors

Teams that are trading value high end first round picks more than a low first round pick too.

On the point of Giannis, people made fun of teams that tried to save assets every year to potentially get Giannis. If they held those assets and Giannis decides to retire on the bucks, or some other team decides to outbid them with better value picks plus players, then what?

New_Weather_7611

-3 | 3 hours ago

They could have gotten anyone other than Giannis who is significantly better than someone who gets benched for Landry fucking Shamet. That’s what.

He’s not a fraud. He is an elite role player. It’s not his fault the Knicks thought he was something he clearly never was.

This. There’s nothing wrong with his play, he’s an elite role player.

But they gave up a package that you’d give for an elite core piece.
