Season from hell.
NOT ONLY do you ship off a generational talent, raised under the franchise since 18, grew up, got married, had children, all with the fans watching, a household name. But you fucking do it with no warning on a Saturday night. just betrayed the man in front of millions of fans.
Luka was supposed to be our next Dirk. Nico Harrison is an industry plant. Franchise just crashed and burned in my sleep.
Dear God please let the Rangers be healthy this year
My heart is broken. If you’re ever lucky enough to land a true franchise-carrying sports unicorn and all time great — Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Magic, Bird, Shaq, Steph, Dirk — you don’t trade them. You build an empire around them. You thank the Sports gods for being so generous to have miraculously blessed your life with an absolute miracle.
And God forbid if you were ever forced to trade such a HoF unicorn, the return better be so much that you reshape your future with so many 1st round draft picks, and young players that you can almost make sense of it.
This just doesn’t add up for me
I'm plotting on your rise bro. i'm literally up in the lab scheming on beautiful abundance for you. I'm cooking up ways for a rising tide to lift all of our boats. I'm praying for your gains. I'm lighting a candle to your inevitable splendor dude
