  1. Look, Taj is ancient and pretty much unplayable these days.

    And a lot of you guys are gonna clown this post being on our subreddit, and rightfully so tbh I’m going schizophrenic because of this offseason.

    But *every single* FA big just coming and going, even the ones who have been good locker room guys for us, has me *absolutely* convinced that Leon is cooking up a trade, probably a big one, behind the scenes. We are all in after the Mikal trade. Doesn’t make sense not to pull the trigger one last time.

    I didnā€™t want us to be giving Taj a contract, but Iā€™m kinda mad that another team did

    Lets go Taj – he’s just keeping in shape for the inevitable Thibs call at a random tuesday at 2 AM in February

    Dread it, run from it Taj still arrives.

    This is perfect. He will be in good shape when he is bought out in March and we bring him in.

    What the hell man, OG should be retiring in orange and blue

    Don’t give a damn, I’m still leaving him on my 2k roster at the end of the bench.

    It’s smart get an adult in the room who can help the young guys.

    Every time Taj thinks heā€™s retiring, NBA GMs like

    Was hoping heā€™d get picked up as a coach for the Knicks

  10. Johns_spagetti

    Heā€™s going to a be a couch eventually

    We couldnā€™t spare $3m / year just to have Taj hang out on the bench?

  12. YanksJetsKnicks

  13. yukpurtsun
