The imperative

Danny, age man have been targeting Anthony Davis four years.

Didn't get in, at least in this go round.

And, man, the fact that we never heard about some Big Godfather offer from the Celtics tells me that they didn't have confidence that if they sold out the store Well, at least we'll still have Kyrie Irving.

It just seems like it's another sign that Kyrie Irving is likely to leave as well.

What do you think Scotty is next for the Celtics?

Well, I think a D s father kind of put his foot down and pretty much said that My son is not gonna play for the Celtics.

So I think at the end of the day, done it, Any ain't got got the message.

But I think for the Celtics are they have a look back at where they were two years ago and tried to now develop those same young players that they have.

They were on a good run with Rose here and those Those guys were playing well when recovery was out.

So I think they have to put those guys back into position, give them the confidence that they can win and go from there.

And hopefully something can come out of the draft form as as, well, you have.

The 2017 wasn't a mirage, But you also hope that Gordon Hayward the Flashes he showed late in last season could be something after even more time to rehab and get strong and get back to his game that he could be a major contributor.

And then you mentioned Rosier rosier for six of creation.

You once all this responsibility, once the ball in his hands.

What happens with those here because he was talking the week after the Celtics were eliminated.

Like No way I'm going back there, he seemed.

I don't know if he burned his bridges, but he certainly seem to be waving a match in front of them.

But now obviously, you can see him fitting back in with that roster.

Look, I'm not coming back there to sit on the bench or play behind me.

Well, we'll see if he's got anyone to play behind, depending on what happens after.

As Kyrie says, ask me July 1 now onto another team that had big offseason plans the next.

I mean, he could still sign there, but an Achilles injury makes it seem like, Yeah, he's gonna miss all of next season.

So, um, I'm supposed to ask you guys, the Knicks off season is already a failure, which seemed harsh to me until Scottie just called the ball loser.

You want to show you dunked on still a team, you know, they're still gonna make an offer like a D.

But even if he does agreed to go to them, all that momentum has kind of left the building.

You don't know how he comes back and from the Achilles, But the Knicks should still feel happy they get because if they do get him, they still have more cap space as well and the MBA changes so quickly.

Maybe there's another disgruntled star now who wants out.

You could be like a Katie's coming off this injury.

Kitty is a guy who is a two time finals M V p.

Yes, an Achilles injury can be hard to recover from.

But guys who are a little lighter, right, a little leaner usually have an easier time scare.

You still betting that Kevin Durant he's 30 by the time he comes back from those 31 a half or whatever?

Do you feel like he'll still be an asset?

The Knicks should still make a big run in him?

I mean, Kevin is a player that keeps itself in tips.

He's always in the gym on the basketball court, so I don't think this is nothing but a huge bumping in the role for him.

I think you'll come back and be better than he was before because challenge just like this push you forward.

So and I think teams were still going to be hungry after God like him.

Let's not forget what type of player this guy was before he got injured.

I mean, can truly force the team to play, pay him to sit out.

But if I'm cattle, Durant, you know, I think Golden State has shown that they great staff in terms of getting you guys back on the court and keeping him on the backs of all courts.

Whether or not I want to go to the New York Knicks medical staff will do.

All right, Well, they're not the chance right now, but I know what you mean.

There's also the matter of the draft that the Knicks have toe reconcile with now to absolutely.

That's been the guy everyone's talking about.

Try to acquire more assets, you know, and in thinking in the terms of okay, actually, 2020 is going to be the year we want to make our splash.

I mean, this became a lot more complicated for the Knicks.

Basically, since last week, Game five of the NBA Finals only a week ago seems like ages ago.

The cover of one of the tabloids the next day was next.

Lose Game five because, really, in a way, in a way they did.

I throw Max at him five years, whatever you can do to get him, because he will still coming off an Achilles.

Be a better player than the Knicks have had in so long, right?

I do think their ability to get a second superstar to come this summer to quote, join Katie.

That's what's really hampered because no one's gonna want to put their own career on hold for the year, year and 1/2 that Kevin's career is gonna be on home.

Maybe you throw a big dollar amount on a one year deal the like a guy like DeMarcus cousins, you know, and then you give him a together again, together, get a chance.

It's approved himself and If he is the guy, then you can get more money in summer 2020.

They're gonna were probably stay the next few weeks.
