I am very low on Bertans. I don't want him near Dadiet in case whatever D-sease he has is contagious.

Bertans has the disease that gets a mediocre player a fortune and a beautiful wife by capitalizing on a elite skill at worst is that a bad lesson for the rookie ? The rookie will learn to be at least elite at something but will likely be much better.

Good for the player, bad for the team. Overpricing elite 3 point shooting is a categorical flaw. 3&D gets smart money. 3only gets dumb money. I want to pay for 3&Ds. Keep the no Defense 3 guys away from Knicks yoots. I know I have a strong opinion, but I probably wouldn't sign another Fournier-type for this team regardless of length.

The rookie will be better and plus he has OG, Bridges, Hart Deuce to watch as well. No need to hate on Bertans. He may not be your kind of player but if the team picks him up must be for a reason, perhaps as a specialist at ends of quarters and in last second shot situations. If he comes in and wins us a few games with a last second in bound three, you'll love him.

Curtains for Bertans. I will start a club to protest his presence in MSG.

Santi Adamant anyone for back up 5 ? He is gettable

Isaac Okoro is still out there as an FA which is surprising. I would think now that its been this long, Cleveland finds a way to bring him back. Before the Bridges deal, it probably would've been a really interesting fit for us as a wing 3 and D guy. With Bey signing, best FAs are probably Trent, Okoro, Hayward, Tyus Jones and Precious! Lonnie Walker, Dinwiddie, Pat Bev, Lowry....

I’m a fan of Okoro as another 1/2/3/4 switchable defender but doubt Cleveland would deal with us and we seem to have other priorities.

All this chatter and the fact that Knicks haven't resigned Precious or used the MLE yet just screams something else is coming and maybe something pretty big.

Could be, who knows?
There's somethin' due any day
I will know right away, soon as it shows
It may come cannonballin' down through the sky
Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose
Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, under a tree
I got a feelin' there's a miracle due
Gonna come true, comin' to me
Could it be? Yes, it could
Somethin's comin', somethin' good, if I can wait
Somethin's comin', I don't know what it is
But it is gonna be great
With a click, with a shock
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch
Somethin's comin', don't know when
But it's soon, catch the moon, one-handed catch
Around the corner
Or whistlin' down the river
Come on, deliver to me
Will it be? Yes, it will
Maybe just by holdin' still, it'll be there
Come on, somethin', come on in, don't be shy
Meet a guy, pull up a chair, the air is hummin'
And somethin' great is comin'
Who knows? It's only just out of reach
Down the block, on a beach, maybe tonight
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight

Next year their luxury tax is projected to be $500M, just the tax. Something has got to give.

Lauri on an expiring $18m contract this year. Ainge in a tight spot.

Mobley at center vs Celtics in playoffs gave an indication of where his future will be and where he best fits.

He was really good and operated great in mid-post and as switchable big guarding everyone.

Wizards and Pistons with Evan, Timmy and Beasley falling over themselves to pay bad basketball players to infect young squads with ZERO DEFENSIVE EFFORT.

Despite Mitch performance vs Cavs 2 years ago - give me Jarrett Allen over Mitch playing alongside Brunson.
MaTT4281 @ 7/13/2024 10:18 AM
Have Jarrett's eyes adjusted to the lights yet?

Probably a disagreement over the years. Knicks want 1 or 2 with a club option for year 2. Precious wants 3.

YOu pull that out your lazy ass or you read something to this affect? Not like PhilC posts are logical to the level that you can even know what precious wants or have the cred to build a logical scenario. Your too lazy to produce a post that builds on itself..
