You look at DRose's stat line, and recalling his masterful performance last year. He is such a total pro. I hope his teammates are watching and listening.

I think MitchR is Knicks most important player. If he stays healthy and relatively consistent they continue to improve. If its Noel again, we regress. Here I'm being optimistic assuming he's in good shape.

Sometimes its not about the numbers. THJ does not seem like a natural fit on this team. And I say this after a decent game from him.

Putting aside (which is never easy) the Trump trolling, the Lebron interview on CNN, a long form session that make me respect him much more. He has as much to "lose" as MJ always had, but he goes for it. And keeps his cool. Powerful.

Melo continues to sound like a doofus.
His initial response to this Summer was he wouldn't take a buyout and wouldn't accept subsequently getting waived. His pride was in his own way. Coming off the bench is not on the table for him, because he doesn't consider team success, but just his own desire/want/self-estimation.
Othersowise, glad they got this place back up and running. I thought it might be down for weeks.
Perry got rid of his contract. No way the team could move forward with such a me-Me-ME presence.
Perry got back some decent assets: Kanter...Mudiay...Robinson.
Melo heading where he wanted to be. Knicks heading where we want them to be.
Kevin Knox and Timmy Hardaway will get to be the Alpha Dawgs while Kristaps is rehabbing. Hezonja will get an opportunity to show what he's got under the hood with consistent minutes. Kornet gets real minutes to make a case for himself both as a back-up center and a genuine NBA stretch-4. Mitchell Robinson has the opportunity to make a case for himself as one of our BIGS of the future. Enes Kanter will have an opportunity to be a dominant presence at the five-spot, an offensive focus in the blocks (and, God willing, like Embid, at long-range) and to demonstrate to Coach Fizdale and GM Perry's satisfaction that he can be more than a one-trick pony (well, two tricks, with low post scoring and an elite level of rebounding) and that he can evolve into a dependable defender and rim protector. The PG scrum of Ntilikina-Burke-Mudiay will get to battle for minutes and survival. While pups such as Dotson and Vonleh get to make a case for themselves as rotation players.
Baby steps.
Onwards.
All looks good other than the PG situation (as I posted before re- Frank not looking like he will ever be more than a great promise...). That is a weak spot- where we'll need to improve via draft or trade. And needless to say will happily eat my hat on that one...
