We cry reading your inaccurate empty posts.
Kemba was signed as a free agent to knicks.
you act smug like you knew Lonzo knee would break down the next two seasons.
Not for nothing, we agree on some things Nalod, but this is why I never rush to immediate judgment on ANY move.
I've been told outright that this is somehow the boring stance.
But it's very often the right one.
So it's got that going for it ... which is nice.

Did BBB do his last surgery? Smh.
Kid was putting it together before surgery.
A little misleading because it doesn't factor in free throw or 3 point shooting, but still not good.

And yet I see a number of players with more than RJ wish-listed by posters here.

Good point. I have no idea why any graphic on tv or stat in written form is not eFG%

Will reiterate.
Either would be ideal 3 for the Knicks to become serious contender for a couple of years.

Clips definitely got a shot to win it all especially with Ja in Memphis acting like a clown

Would love to get Kawahi but there’s no way he’s ever leaving LA
Wow, jazz beat the celts last night. Are the celts tanking for playoff position?
Also... they’ve been bad since interim title was removed from the coach

RJ is on the team with the best record. That stat is missing.
Also that he has tightend up his came.
RJ gets better every year. Its chunks of the season inconsistant that dilute stats.
Baseball on field manage to get playears who are hitting well. If a player had a bad start, then is red hot they don’t sit him for what he did earlier. They ride it. They go with winning formulas.
This is true in most sports, not just baseball, not just knicks.
Knicks are succeeding and RJ outside shooting, and Grimes as well are not detriments to the result on many nights.
Randle still has a shitty on court presence but its not a detriment.
I won’t predict any of our yoot’s ceiling, and I won’t do the same on their floor.
Im having too much fun just watching the games!!!
No thank you on Kawhi. Too expensive, won't leave LA and I cannot stand the extreme load management bs.

If it looks like McDyess, and smells like McDyess...

Since both names are on this list and I’ve entertained this thought before.
Who says no Knicks or Thunder on a Barrett for Lou Dort trade.
Me personally — I’d like Dorts defense and I think better perimeter shooting.
Thoughts?

Agreed - don’t want any load mgmt guys on this team. Not knocking the skill but not interested in 35 game reg. season players.
As a fan I take great pleasure in fact Thibs has built a team of hard workers who show up most every night.
They peaked hard. Plus the NBA lightened up on rules that heavily favored flopping bitches.

And they can no longer blame Nate McMillan

Man the Hawks seemed to be the future They had young talent everywhere, and lots of wings. They had pics too. They even drafted very well the last two years with top talent that fell to them and they are still a mess

Even if they get back Wiggin (been away from the team for personal reasons for a long time), they’re small and aging. Curry/Klay/Green + Poole.They blew a huge opportunity to reload with that #2 overall pick used for wiseman (Yeah, we know there were big fans here of his tree trunk thighs).
Iggy looked great and physically shredded vs the Suns, then broke his wrist. Old players can’t play defense without injury and can’t take a fall.
From a draft perspective they basically missed on LeMelo, Hali, IQ and Maxey….amazing now really good wings or bigs in that entire draft unless I missed something but they definitely could have netted something nice in trade.
Franz Wagner Would have been perfect for them.
I don’t think that was the same draft where they took Wiseman.
Wagner went in 2021 and after Kuminga but yes Wagner vs Kuminga also would have been nice for GS

Funny, that picture is from the series they won 4-1!
ATL FO has been erratic with factions not on the same page. Better or worse that seems to be cleared up now with our old Friend Landry Fields running it, with ownerships blessing. They like us needed to make a consolidated trade which on paper was pretty good looking last summer. And they will need to pay him.
Trae is a bit toxic and did not get on with coach Mac. I have to say Quinn Synder is a good coach, very systems oriented and can’t say the expectations to turn it around with 20 games to go would have been fair. Have to see what they can do with that talent.
Keep Trae and Murray?
What is the issue with Collins? Is it Trae?
Capella at 28 still relevant? His minutes are down a bit.
Hunter is young and having one of his better seasons. 35% from 3pt is a bit down from last year but not by much and closer to his career.
AJ griffin might be a good one one day.
