As a Knicks fan, that trade is too much considering how injury prone AD is and your saying to give up 6 first round picks for someone who is going to play probably less then 50 games. I’ve seen our young talent and I don’t like to give that up as well for someone who is staring to be considered or probably is not a superstar anymore. That’s just my opinion, but I feel like most Knicks fans agree with me.

Not giving a big free pass on the shoulder move from Lebron, but Dyson is probably the best defending rookie of all of them, just hasn;t had the play time yet in a deep roster to be considered among the best rookies that he probably sits amongst (either bottom of first team or top of second team for rookies).

What about AD for Rockets Eric gordon and Kj Martin

I thought Matt Ryan was the colts qb

That's not horrible decision making. That'd high IQ decision making. A lebron mid range fade away is a much better choice than a 3 pointer from Pat Beverly.

Remember when AD said he forgot the last time he trained his shooting?🤣

AD is what happens to skilled bigs that play w/ LeBron. same thing happened to Kevin Love and Chris Bosh. LeBron doesnt want them playing inside on offense. so they become far less effective, exclusively perimeter players. its also why they become more injury prone. they are playing a style that doesnt suit their game or body type.

AD instead of Russ to Indiana get a shooter and a big man, maybe do some swapping with Knicks as well.
