Thanks for the info, Chip

C'mon, Frank!

Re:  Harper

Not insane to think he could play a 30+ minute contest - see what we have - but likely Ntlikina does get the rock first

WE are at a different level, I know - but OKC just did it with Celts castoff TY JEROME and he has played fairly well.

My research does show ELF and IMMANUEL as questionable, not doubtful, but we will see

If we are trying to deal Payton we should keep him healthy, I'd think

I am more excited for a sore-groined 40-point effort from IQ than anything Frank and Jared can show.   But if FN is the lead dog, wouldn't you just once like to see him crank it up and look to create for himself for a game's entirety.

Fingers crossed we see something grand - or at least a W.

But just for kicks - what of our reserve picks/players are we willing to give up to ascend in the 2021 draft - say......if we get the 16-18 overall?

I know that is a ,long way down the line, but.....

The Knicks had the NBA’s easiest first-half schedule (an average opposing Elo of 1481) and are due to face the third-toughest second-half slate (1520 average opposing Elo), behind only the Magic and Spurs.

Depends how you define things.

I've also seen it that the Knicks had the 2nd easiest schedule so far and the 4th toughest upcoming schedule (based I believe on simple W-L records).

Looks like Quickley in but Burks should be the key

Pokusevski and Maledon are interesting guys playing OK for Thunder.

Ntilikina starts and plays 5 minutes ... yikes!   When he gets his chance he fumbles it.

Yikes

Sometimes he plays as if he is spooked.

Julius, RJ, IQ...Burks. 

Yup

JR: 26-12-12.  What a beast. 

RJ: 20 years old.  My GOD, but this kid has stones.  Gettting better and better on every level with every game. His first30+game as a pro with 32 points in 36 minutes on 12-21, 3-6 from trey, 5-7 from the stripe, with 5 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals. Damn.  Ain't that a man. 

IQ: Speaking of stones.  The FLOATER was working again...played with pace and aggression, defense, under control: 21 points on 9-16, with 3 boards, 4 dimes and 2 steals.  Has surely made a case to start, but if I know Thibs, he ain't going to give up on Elfrid with the first unit, nor IQ with Rose, but man, IQ and RJ were clicking. 

Reggie & Burks:  Thibs also really loves Reggie, and his defense was fierce.  Hitting four treys.  Burks missed a bunch, but made some, and Thibs liked him as a fake PG. 

PS: Al Horford is still an excellent NBA Stretch 4-5.  A trade target?  Turning 35 in June?  NO FUCKING WAY: Not at 27 million for this year and the next two.  However, were he to come available via a buyout and vet minimums or Enes Kanter/Nerlens Noel prices?  In a NY Minute.

Order restored. It helped we didn’t see SGA today.

For the next piece, let’s go Nuggets!

Diallo for Svi and a second rounder. Good move by Detroit.

Seriously?

What exactly impresses you about Diallo? 

A lousy three point shooter and a mediocre FT shooter. 

Seems to me like OKC picked their pocket.
