Today is a wonderful day for me as I am Knicks fan and I'm not the only happy fan I'm sure. As I am sure most of us NBA fans have heard by now GM if the NY Knicks Phil Jackson, is finally getting the ax after for the last few seasons he has nearly destroyed the already hurt reputation of the NY Knicks. This comes after Carmelo Anthony reportedly would only leave if a buyout was on the table. James Dolan owner of the Knick was left with a decision and made one by letting the GM go. This leaves the Knicks with a vacancy in their front office and a lot of questions as to what they will do going forward.
Also in the news today, 9 time NBA All-star Chris Paul from the Clippers was traded for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a protected first-round pick next year and cash considerations. This comes as a move to try and strengthen the chances of overcoming the Warriors in the already strong Western Conference. This leaves the LA Clippers in a situation where they have to decide, rebuild or keep trying with the stars they have left, only time will tell.
I am a bit late as far as the 3 vs 3 league is concerned and after watching some of the highlights I think this league has a lot of potential. I want to know what the general opinion on this leagues is so I can know whether people want news about it. I think it was cool to see some ex-NBA players on the court again.
