What luck did the 49ers experience this season?
Well, they could use the Knicks being good now. That could actually be a nice shot in the arm. So the timing might work out for this league.
But you remember how loud it was, right? When everyone took over, the Knicks were selling their soul to get in the agent business, because the agents are the power brokers, and the way they were going to fix this is by getting the free agents finally, because... Sie haben eine Menge Verkäufer, die wirkliche Verhältnisse mit Spielern haben. Aber das ist nicht so, wie sie es gemacht haben, Stugatz.
Nein. Sie haben es durch schrude Teambildung gemacht. Und sie haben es mit einem Vater-Sohn-Verhältnis gemacht, mit Rick Brunson. I think if anything, people, Knicks fans are disappointed that the agents that are now running the Knicks are not able to get a big superstar, but they have done a very good job of putting together a very good roster. They've done the harder thing.
Is the championship good? I don't know. Probably not, not yet. And you need the superstars, but they built it the hardest way, which is architecturally versus just getting a relationship. I thought when they were getting Leon Rose... And Wes, when they were getting relationships... Worldwide Wes. Yes, when they were getting... Thank you, Stugatz. You got it.
I was surprised that you came with that one. That's worldwide. Yes, but I thought that they were trafficking and building relationships to free agent power. That's not how they built it. They built something that's strong and has Taj Gibson again. 10-day contract. I mean, they did tamper with Jalen Brunson. They got dinged a second round pick for it. But they were found to have tampered.
But that's the best thing they've done. I don't think anyone thought Jalen Brunson, I didn't, could be a number one player. Like lead a team, be the best player on that team, but he's done it. The funniest part about the people that they hired is they didn't lean on those relationships. They leaned on a former backup point guards relationship with his son to convince him to come over.
We'll take it.
