very interesting. I personally take issue with 4-6 for a variety of reasons and find Miami's, Dallas, and Atlanta's absence from top 10 interesting
We need one or more of RJ, IQ and Grimes to take that next step on impactfulness to be real fun to watch
I guess we can now make an educated guess as to why Dwight Howard is seemingly blackballed, pun unintended.

i mean he's almost 40 years old now and had been falling off, simply not good enough #1, and certainly not if he's bringing drama or making guys feel uncomfortable.
now all that being said, for all the woke garbage the NBA talks and pretends, I can imagine it is very homophobic environment in the locker room.

I think Dwight is still good enough to be a backup. That said, I get the uncomfortable feeling that teams would rather sign a wife beater than a gay player.

I think teams would prefer to take a chance on a younger 5 who can space the floor.

Unfortunately, those are few and far between. But teams are more likely to skew younger with the new NBA economy. We've already seen guys like Austin Rivers forced to retire early.

yea enough with the gimmicks, as long as guys dont play hard and TRY to defend it doesnt matter anyway.
Bulls got taken apart.
Derozen is a stat guy. He took some blame for Toronto not getting over the hump, but he seems good in Chinatown? Yet, they have not succeeded in his era there? I know Lonzo was a big part of it but?
Lavine also. We talk about both here like they are good trade targets. They are talented, but would they be good Knick players?

Don't point that out, Obi wouldn't have value on our team. We traded him for nothing cause he was not any good . . And we wanted him to get a fair deal in contract talk or something like that
I could hear Clyde’s voice in my head, and then Giannis does this…

Obi plays like a second round pick - we got two for him, not bad.

Numbers and eye test say that Obi played like a first round pick when he started as a Knick. Had a good playoff performance in limited minutes.
Obi got tired of playing like a starter when called upon, then going back to exactly the same role, same minutes. Which is why he's in Indy.
I know from experience that serious ankle injuies at Randle's age can affect your game. I hope that if Randle isnt traded, that the FO finds a backup who will have a larger role than Obi. Best way to keep Randle healthy over a long season, midseason tourney, and post-season.
Embiid 3-8 from the FT tonight, he’d fit right in with the Knicks.

I like both players because they have scored in clutch moments and outside of Brunson the rest of our roster fumbles & crumbles under pressure.
DeRozen is more tricky because of age, defense, ball dominance and lots of mid-range.
For me I’ve always just liked watching LaVine (love the body and how he glides on the floor) but most importantly he is highly skilled, efficient, scores in/out and has the ability to take over in big games - plus he would seem to be reasonably obtainable.

Not rooting for any of those cats tbh.
