Also, the Knicks don't so much need a PG as they need a strategy to uniquely deploy the talent they had/have on this team. Players who leave usually do quite well elsewhere - maybe it ain't the players.
This is pretty funny - but you dos ee examples across the league
Campazzo of Denver and Boston's Pritchard are 2 guys who early on are being asked to stand ina corner.
Will teams let the young points point?
Which has lasted longer:
a. Knicks search for a legit pg
b. war in Afghanistan
c. war on drugs
you get the point (pun intended).
Yes Quickly will help when he is back on the court, but the Knicks need two PGs (who needs two, who needs two...). Payton is not a starting PG -period. DSJ is not an NBA backup. Franc is not a PG. I give Burks credit for pitching in, but c'mon.
It is not a secret how badly the knicks need a real starting PG. So am I wondering what Rose's - and his huge braintrust - plan is, their vision?
This situation sort of reminds me of Gettlemen's tenure with the Jints. When he came on all he talked about was improving the O line - which everyone knew was essential. And it took him three years to finally get to it. Him and his hog mollies...idiot...
Rose had cap space and picks and should have addressed the PG issue at the top, not toppin. A solution - well understanding that most top tier FAs are simply not coming to NY, maybe be creative. Bo's suggestion that drafting both Halliburton and Quickly and then unloading either DSJ or Franc, for Chip's proverbial bag of beans, is, if nothing else, creative, naively optimistic, and outside the box.
Going with Payton, DSJ, and bringing in Quickly - who can play with or off the play, is not thinking but merely going through the motions - it took no effort or deep thinking to do that.
Frank's -4.1 PER moves to.....
-8.6
ELFRID now at -4.2
Dennis a +1.8
Quickley moves to 18.6 while not playing - not sure how,
BURKS is our best PG
Ladies & Gentlemen
Your Brooklyn Nets
If we get mauled by the Nyets this season, it won't be because the game has passed Thibs by or his rotations or a reliance on Vets....
It is because we are simply outgunned.
That was absolutely terrifying.
Irving was utterly dominant, and Durant reminded me very much of Kevin Durant.
Their centerl platoon of Jordan and Allen was good for 18 rebounds.
Their snipers Harris and LaVert [Shamet was a little off] were deadly, and until they called off the hounds in the fourth, they were basically draining threes at a 50% clip.
They also played some D. Held the Warriors to 37% Shooting.
I suspect they are not going to pursue that Harden fellow and gut this team.
Interesting to see Nash function as the Chairman Of The Board, and the Nyets run a non-small ball offense, but with plenty of D'Antoni tune and tempo.
If and when we get past Saadaam Trump's 12 Plagues Of QAnon, and get people back in the house, the Barclays will be rocking.
Remember when the Mets were suddenly the toast of NYC and the Yankees were exiled in Elba?
Thibs has a lot of work to do.
Is Lonzo better than....
Elfrid Payton
Do you have EYES?
So...
The Stats are irrelevant, eh?
And the Celtics blew it when they passed on Fultz and Ball to take Tatum.
Heh.
This is clickbait.
The headline read THE KNICKS SHOULD TRADE FOR JAMES HARDEN.
OK, Red Auerbach, show us what you've got.
Knicks Get: James Harden
Rockets Get: Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Mitchell Robinson, Kevin Knox, Mavs 2021 1st Round Pick, Knicks 2022 & 2023 1st Round Picks, Knicks 2024 1st Round Pick (Top 10 Protected)
Knicks have the picks for Harden. Let's build a hypothetical
Barrett (not saying I do it), Randle, 2 number 1s, but not our own '21.
What else?
Fuck this trade.
Barrett, Mitch, the Dallas picks
Numbers don't work without Randle.
Oh, alright then... Randle
Huge cup of salt.
Coaching matters.
The level of play to get on the floor on this team suddenly seems higher that was previously understood.
Exactly
