Phew
OG still cashing checks
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 didnāt want us to be giving Taj a contract, but Iām 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
Heās dead to me š
Oh thank god
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
See you March Taj
Don’t give a damn, I’m still leaving him on my 2k roster at the end of the bench.
Thibs punching the air rn
Taj is that dude!!
It’s smart get an adult in the room who can help the young guys.
Every time Taj thinks heās retiring, NBA GMs like

Was hoping heād get picked up as a coach for the Knicks
Thibs in shambles.
Heās going to a be a couch eventually
We couldnāt spare $3m / year just to have Taj hang out on the bench?
The tank commander lol. Good for him though.
it’s ok we will see you again at the trade deadline
This changes everything
Taj infiltrating enemy lines to sell NY to Nick Richards
are we expecting a taj + nick richards move around the deadline?
