Don't support support who we are, not who we are not.

That's what Tom Thibodeau should be saying right now when he talks to the media and everybody's, like, all excited while they're playing really well, who can we trade for?

Oh, my God.

Part.

Like, who can we trade for?

Is like the first conversation people wanna have.

This isn't good enough yet, but in Indiana you couldn't get a transfer.

You couldn't buy your team.

New York can buy your team.

You can pick your team, you're gonna have You're gonna have 70 plus million dollars in cap space this offseason to handle that business.

But I can give you examples of, you know, the Lakers.

They didn't trade all their assets for Anthony Davis before they got LeBron.

They got LeBron.

Then they did that.

The Clippers didn't go all in on Paul George.

They signed Kawai first, right?

The Nets.

The Nets were the little engine that could just like the Knicks are right now.

Only a couple of years ago, Kenny Jackson getting all the accolades that Tom Thibodeau is getting now DeAngelo Russell, right, playing the role of D'Angelo Russell is now, Julius Randle.

Okay, The high draft pick that just starting to figure it out.

Or maybe it was the coaching of the familiarity, whatever it waas.

And now what did they dio?

They used the They had cap space.

They signed two players and then they went all in on the third Star.

It doesn't work the opposite way.

Let's give up everything to attract the Starr and hope other stars Air coming.

Oh, that's right.

I gave up on my cap space.

Come on, Nick.

Fans, Not a day after your one game under 500.

You can't start asking for trades now.

Why now?

What are we gonna give up?

How can we get Bradley Beal in here and be part of this?

You can't, because whatever you give up, a Bradley Beal takes away what this team is all about, which is depth.

You've got a really good bench, and you've got a guy playing it all star level that everybody's rallying around.

Who, by the way, trusts the assistant coach Kenny Pain for assistant coach of the year.

If they had that award, he should win it.

But But he trust the coaches.

He trusted people in charge.

Let it just simmer, let it bake, put it in the slow cooker and just let this thing go for once.

Stop asking me about trades, Allen.

You know, they do have the new, um, slow cooker.

That's a pressure cooker.

At the same time, it cooks it slow.

But it also for the air fryer is that we're going to do in the air Friday.

What's better than the air fryer, man?

No grease.

You know, I'm saying no trans fat.

You know, I'm saying only the good fats.

So I mean, we we look at Brooklyn.

How did Brooklyn do it?

They brought over D'Angelo Russell.

Somebody else.

Pick turned D'Angelo.

Russell, Julius, Julius, right?

It's the same thing.

It's the same thing you take a guy who was a young player who was good, not great.

You make him into an All Star, you rally this team of guys you found and put together.

It's well coached.

You become very competitive.

And what happens?

Everybody around the league starts going like what's going on there in New York.

I like that.

The vibe there is just insane.

Like the vibe.

I love the vibe there.

Isn't that what Katie said?

I love the vibe.

I love the vibe or something about the vibe.

That's what you want.

And then you okay?

And then you just go forward with that.

You're gonna have so much cap space coming up.

Just be smart with what you do instead of just I keep going back to it.

Knick fans have always been forever down with O p.

P.

It's always about who's next.

Who else can we get instead of what you got right now?

What?

You haven't had something like this in eight years?

So you're you're buying Julius Randle as your star of the future.

You're saying right now you're saying this sustainable?

Okay, okay, because I was thinking you were saying that our big three was gonna be Julius Randle.

I don't know what is going to be.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Here's the other thing You can't.

Here's his two things.

You can't do a trade, Julius Randle.

Least hypothetically start doing that.

Oh, so high cell, I keep getting that sell high thing.

You know what?

You know how there's, like the like button and the heart, but all that said.

There should be a smack button sometimes on Twitter, just so when you say something stupid, I could smack you and it's over right?

You understand?

I don't like that.

But you also can't start saying Give him an extension right now.

Let's get to the finish line first.

Let's see how this goes this season.

Right now, it's going well.

Leave it alone.

Remember what Tim Bontemps said quietly.

The Knicks keep winning you.
