Last 2 games of the home stretch. Orlando and then Miami on Friday. These 2 games will be a good bench mark

was smart to hold back Mitch, give him an extra day off, and now gives us another body on 2nd of B2B

Im really enjoying bully ball KAT and the ball movement is beautiful basketball. I love how the shooters are relocating into the lanes for wide open shots like Divo used to do and get.

Think it was right to use Mitch this game. Still a little annoyed they didn't put it away early and had to play 35-38 mins for a lot of the starters. Still we should be able to lean on guys like Clarkson and Deuce tonight. Clarkson has really come on and carved out a nice role and I've actually been pleasantly surprised with his defensive effort.

Yabu's gotta make shots from point blank and get boards. I don't even care that much about the 3s, but if he just needs to get down and dirty and give us some value in his minutes.

Maybe I hadn't noticed it before but his type of overload or doubling seems new. I like it.

Miami has really come back to Earth after their hot start. Like crash landing back to Earth.

I still fantasize of bringing Divo back into that roll...

This would be heaven but the Knicks just don't have the contracts to trade for him

We need some FO number crunching wizardry to sign him when he's a FA.

Yabu, Deuce, + Kolek or Dadiet?

So yes, but Knicks really don't entertain that? It's a tough swap no matter what and I don't know how much it makes sense outside of Nova nostalgia.

Hangover from last season and whatnot

I've thought about what it would take to bring DDV back, b/c watching Hart, Brunson and Mikal together how could you not? they are playing with such beautiful chemistry, where the sum is more than the parts. its looking championship level.

Shout out to Orlando native, Delta Burke.

I’d love it. But Deuce + depth at PF + youth is a tough pill to swallow.

lets see if Yabu shows something, b/c if not, his salary is big enough to be filler for a trade at the deadline. Right now, he's not showing anything that any random vet min or 2nd rounder could give us IMO. Diawara is already showing more, and so is Huk defensively.

so to me, right now it would essentially be Duece and a rookie that doesn't play for DDV. and DDV is better than Deuce, even considering Deuce's defense. DDV could essentially take the combined role of Duece and Shamet and combine it into a 30mpg role.
