This exchange existed in another forum. since its been hijacked I thought I'd just start a new one and spare the faithful of our mincing of words.

Even with whom they signed over the summer. We assume they are negligent. Knicks have a plan. That don't mean it comes to fruition. Lord knows we have seen that. Nearly everyone is tradable, including Frank. Even if he is a low to mid first round pick, his value is better if we pick up his option.
Frank and his Agent might be abstinent about wanting a trade to a team that will has a strong desire/belief in him. For all we know Fiz might not just even like the kid and if so he won't succeed here.
I can very much see a scenario he gets traded. For that matter, DSjr is also up for extension! For that matter, I can see him getting moved as well. If RJ Barrett shows early intensity and a fit at the 2, then someone has to go.
is the plan still defense and passing are a priority? That's what this FO said when they launched. It was on the Knicks Blog from Mills.
Or is it 2 max FA, which they certainly didn't dispute when dealing with KP fallout
Or is it super short term FA so we can do a near complete re-boot (again) this next offseason (and hope that all the short terms don't get selfish)
Or is it simply that they do whatever it takes to keep their jobs for the next season and go from there
To say they have a plan sounds nice, but I remain skeptical
That's all i see
They lower the bar to the floor so they can look functional and patient..6 yrs no playoffs
Rainman: Redundant and reactive.
I respect your honesty as you see it.
troll boy..why didn't you respond directly to chandler
He is asking questions. Not exhibiting ignorance.
why didn't you respond with an intelligent answer to his question instead of exhibiting an ignorant comment.
He asked a question and i gave my opinion and my perspective on one of the question.
You attack another poster just to satisfy your trolling habits like a 16 yr old ..
this is what you do every day
What does it mean to troll on social media?
Trolling is defined as creating discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community. Basically, a social media troll is someone who purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users.
We already hijacked another forum so this is one just about the subject at hand. This is a love letter to Knicks1248. If your fatigued by my squabble you keep your 3 minutes and click off now.
Dear Knicks1248 (AKA: The Rainman)
This is a forum of highly active knick fans. When a casual fan comes here and reads incomplete lazy fact void responses they might take it as fact. This dilutes the majority of what others do around here. This place thrives with being inclusive of new posters too!.
Thus I am not trolling to get arise of others. They are responses to keep Facts vs. opinion in order. The Board does call out and deal with trolls as a way of keeping the site from melting down. By your definition I would be "starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory or off-topic messages in an online community". I don't do that. Im not looking for acceptance or others to join me.
Also "purposely says something controversial in order to get a rise out of other users". There are a few that do that, but not me. I generally state something as my opinion and if facts I back it up a high percentage of the time. Fact is I'm once again responding to your post that is inaccurate. By definition you posted I am not "trolling".
What you are alluding to is my apparent constant response to many of your posts. Do I call you names? Just Rainman. Sorry. You even just said in response to a Mills question by chandler: "That's all I see". That's kind of "Rainmanesque" isn't it? I complimented your honesty there. I don't call you a "16 year old" or anything else. I might say your comments are "not accurate, dumb, ignorant, or Lazy", and I say why often with facts to back it up. Not repeating a blog. Those are not articles researched. They are regurgitated facts by others. If there is a fact in them you want to use you should extract it. You can agree with the opinion or not but using it as a resource is not the same to back up your opinion. Basically your defending an opinion with someone else's opinion.
Who made me the boss of this? Nobody. These are rules that 95% of the guys here use 95% of the time. I have no exact stats. I don't correct everyone as its way too obnoxious even for me. Most of it is reasonable. Your just my pet peeve of inaccuracy as you do it often. As I said before its not personal and I do think you mean well. Your a motivated Knick fan who wants to talk about the knicks. But you often don't. Instead you drone about the same thing as if you have first hand knowledge of what's in Mills head as one example. WE all want the same thing basically which is our team to succeed.
Personally I'd ban you not for rudeness but if I may "Trolling the facts" by diluting the effort of others. My guess is the educated around here can let ignorant statements go much better than I. Perhaps I have been here too long and should do the same. But in my opinion new fans coming in will see your incomplete statements mixed with the factual (often known as "Factorals) and think "Wow, this guy really must know something about the knicks front office"!
You don't.
There are plenty of fans that think Dolan and mills are incompetent but don't make shyt up to demonstrate like they are intimate. This is not about your opinion but how it is presented. This is not about Trolling, its about accuracy and respect for those who have taken the time to formulate concepts, ideas and at the very least proper sentence's.
Yours truly,

Sometimes someone comes along that the ignore feature works for you and the rest of the forum. I used it once, for dk7th. Initially my attitude was that I needed to respond to this dumb @ss and correct the misinformation he is posting. I try to be respectful of others in my post and I was blasting the guy and enjoying it. I still think he sucks but I am here to post as a fan. Ignoring the guy was a good move for me.
The level of pettiness of this thread is unfathomable.
This forum has become a personal slugfest for more dominant posters, basketball isn't even mentioned these days. It's truly sad when even Facebook has better content

Yes, the days leading up to camp are dry. I did mention in the fist sentence this was nonsensical and one could back out before reading.
Yet you still joined in and responded to tell us it lacked basketball content and you joined in the empty fray.
Soon media day will occur and we can argue who is taller, who is fat, who is not, etc. back to normal stuff!
I titled it “Ad Nauseum” for a reason.

No doubt the blog is about basketball... but the participants are people.
And what can be more fascinating that people. In this case not even people but the characters they are constructing online.
It is cool and educational to see how the mind goes in circles with no way out around the same delusions.

Wow, makes me glad I'm not on social media of any kind, other than UK. Does this really count as social media? I mean, really, we don't even have avatars or "likes"...LMAO
And here I thought the whole time that UK already was the cosmic sump of the internet.... LOL

I say we petition management to find BRIGGS, get him to sponsor a UK Media Day at MSG, and we play games of one on one and three point shooting (since 2 pointers are useless in real basketball) to find out who's right, and who's dead. Losers have to spend a year as StraightShot roadies!

oooohhh... dk... he was a real gem.
2 weeks to camp! Position battles!
Believe most of us here are in a "start the damn season already!" kind of mood. Wont be much longer.

What if I said the season already started?

Maybe that was the case last week...then Daniel Jones happened. I'm hoping for another week of encouraging signs before defenses catch up. That should take me into Knicks training camp and The Joker, then smooth sailing from there.

Beyond amazing. I love Eli, but when was the last time we had a real dual threat QB? Hostetler? Tarkenton?
This is going to be nothing but fun until some DB takes out his knees. 
Unless this kid turns out to be as durable as Eli too.
Cant' wait to see what Thabeet brings to training camp!

I agree with you. Nalod has a propensity for this type of behavior. He has targeted poster in the past and really crosses the line. For some reason he feels like he is the police or something. Dude is beyond obsessed. He did this with Playa in the past and he is doing it all over agin with Knicks1248. I’m shocked as hell Martin has picked up on this cyber bullying.

Eli is a hero... 2nd half of his career was tough. The teams have not been good. The one time we got in Odell dropped every ball thrown to him... this is how life goes. Danny looked amazing. Didnt realize he was so mobile. Really exciting.

They had a clip of him during early training camp motoring up the sidelines on a bootleg and he looked like a wideout. You can't fake good wheels. I forget who it was, but even one of the wideouts themselves were "like What the Fuck????"
