How far we’ve come from how we felt about this trade in the moment, and where the Knicks were at the time, to now

I still remember getting so pissed at my work desk when I got the notification, it was later on when we found out what was going on it was some “Fuck KP” then lol

That trade feels like it was a decade ago.
So much has changed for the better since those times.

Was in St Barts and when I saw what we got back in return it literally ruined my vacation.

I remember waking up hungover in my college room, punching my pillow when I saw the tweet and falling back to sleep for another 12 hours

Franchise altering trade. It allowed the cap space to sign Randle. That draft pick led to Grimes (who will be apart of the next big deal). It allowed Porzingis to move on to being a secondary option as opposed to the guy. The team wouldn’t be where it is today without that deal.

Time isn’t real anymore ever since Covid. I remember this like it was yesterday, then went to the garden the day after and saw they already tore down KP from the wall art in the entrance way.
Who would have guessed things would get better pretty soon.

we should have rectified this mistake last summer, we’d be legit title contenders now if we had KP.

Trade worked out fine for us. Got some draft assets and Jordans mentoring of a young Robinson was essential. He was really good for us.

I remember the day when it happened. Like WTF you have to do the trade NOW? I thought KP was coming back healthy soon? For DSJ??? Totally ruined my day.

I remember listening to the WFAN in the car, waiting for this trade to happen. Happy as hell to see Porzingis and THJr go.

I remember ignorant me thinking we were getting Durant and Kyrie. Due to this trade. Thankful they signed with the nets.

I remember being so devastated, thought we had thrown our only asset away. Look at us now, boys, trust the process!

I was really mad at our FO instead of KP

People forgot that Phil Jackson almost traded KP to Boston for the pick that ended up being Jayson Tatum.

Me and the boys were getting haircuts then went to the bar next door and this shit popped on the TV. Needless to say I drank more than planned
