Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are headed to the Nets — the duo the Knicks once dreamed of signing.
Many were shocked over the news, and social media quickly took aim at the Knicks and owner James Dolan, who failed to deliver NBA free agency’s biggest chip to the Garden.

#Knicks always ran unopposed in NYC, until 7 years ago, a team came to #Brooklyn. For the first time, the Knicks had to compete for NYC’s NBA fans. Today that competition is over. The Knicks are finished as the #1 basketball team in town. The #Nets own NYC. It’s Jim Dolan’s fault

Incredible turnaround for Brooklyn. They were the butt of jokes for the KG/Pierce trade and now this. What job well done by Marks and Atkinson. A testament to good management, ownership and coaching.
And hey, at least NY got Dennis Smith Jr for KP. (🤯) 2010 all over again. https://t.co/uktYNdCxob
