That's what bodiddley looks like Carlos?
I always pictured him more as a MR. Spock.

The Knicks read the forum?

The two (healthy) guys on the size extremes of this group, Kanter and Burke, are one position guys defensively who get hurt in switch situations not to mention cross-matches.
Otherwise, here are things to find out in camp that can determine rotational usage;
Can Kornet and/or Robinson check PF’s in space?
Are there SF’s Vonleh can cover?
Is Knox strong enough for some PF and sound enough for some SG’s?
Same for Mario.
Who is better defensively, Vonleh or Lance?
Can Hardaway eclipse Lee defensively?
Can Dotson?
Who, if anyone can Mudiay defend?
Can Frank defend SF’s yet, or just all the guards?
Thank you.
Good analysis.
We shall see.
More fun as a narrative than rooting for a total tank.
One can appreciate BOTH a good effort by kids growing up in the NBA as well as appreciate the forces (internal an external) that land the team in a position to add a sublime talent.
Don't take the tank so personally. Let its studded wheels roll over your prone squishy body. And feel the relief.

« on: August 14, 2018, 02:38:16 PM »Kid, I think you are right that one of our troika of lotto points will probably see many more minutes at the wing than at the point. It won’t be Frank shifting to the wing. It will be Mudiay. Frank or Burke will start and the other will be the primary backup.
Stretching Noah and only paying Lance his guaranteed million instead of paying his full contract has us with cap holds and rookie scales with between 65-70 mil on the books. This will put us in the neighborhood of 40 million under the cap. There’s no law saying we have to commit that space to pedigree vets at top dollar right away. We could be patient, and roll the space forward to a year where our key players are further developed and defined.
True. With 40 mil we can offer one year deal to Free Agent A and one year to Free Agent B at 20mil each to roll the money forward to next year. Like the Lakers did with KCP.

No more Shockers.
Wichita State needs to prove it can develop NBA players.
Not too impressed with FVV RB and CE

The Hawks, Rockets, Heat, Thunder, Suns, Blazers and Raptors have 12 B2Bs.
Every other team has 13 or 14.
ATL having three less B2Bs than us is huge for the TANK

It seems we lost some people or there are those that haven't made the switch to the new forum.

“He’s going to come back a different monster,” Sanders said in the installment. “His skills are more like a small forward. He was hard to deal with before, but he’ll be much harder to deal with after. He’s got the sense of urgency of a veteran going after his last contract.”

Bunch of newbies and at least one Tanking Weeb, me for the coming season. I mean, play hard and lose hard too.
When the forum went down, did you guys get an error message mentioning “bad behavior”? I mean, I though Chico had taken over the forum and kicked me out for “bad hombre”.
Damn - no IGGY function in the new room.
Improved quote function - better visibility.
