What went wrong in the universe for this to happen? I kinda hope they trade him by the deadline or something.

Celtics are extremely butthurt we embarrassed them in the playoffs two years ago. That’s why they rushed Tatum back last regular season just so he could get injured in the Sixers series. They are consumed with hatred for us.

But then they step on their own d1ck and trade prime Jaylen Brown for washed up 36 year old Paul George.

I doubt any of this has to do with the Knicks.

Hunter Dickinson and Julian Reese are 2 bigs to consider going into training camp for 2-way deals or non-guaranteed contracts for that 14th spot. One thing I would consider is signing Nickel to the 14th spot and then signing two bigs on 2-way deals with the intent of promoting 1 to the 15th roster spot later in the year once there’s enough room under the second apron to do so. For reference, if the Knicks sign a veteran to the minimum (2.5M cap hit) they have about 800k left below the second apron. If they signed Nickel to a second round exception , that’s only around 1.4M, leaving about 1.9M in second apron space, so they would be able to promote a big from a 2-way contract very early in the season. But I’m sure they won’t do anything until they see what other players get released closer to the start of the year.

In my mind we need a young guy who if KAT needs sometime off can start as 33 year old Drummond minutes have been about 19 per game. Drummond can finish the game in that instance.

Huk Started 5 games last season. Kat played 75 games. 72 year before.
For that matter the upgraded version of him falls less. Fouls less. Whines less, and wins championships!

I hope we get championship KAT next year. The other KAT was a stinker.
