Your monthly reminder, Jimmy Butler became Jimmy Butler around age 26. Good things take time and are worth the wait.


*** that said, the greatest crunch time scorer of the last decade comes on the market you best be all ears at least.

Knicks will still make one pivotal deal.

Dare I say with Burks and Fournier aboard and a question on his future $$ value RJ Barrett move not outlandish.

Surely possible — that's why you stock up on talent — but let's save RJ for the Lillard/Zion type stuff, not the Sexton type stuff. Personally happy to enjoy the ride as he goes and grows. Been good so far.

Yep, this is good solid stuff, and has me very much looking forward to the coming year. With some health from Mitch (can't wait for the return of 48 minutes of continual rim protection), more development from the young ones, a little productivity from the rookies, better offense creativity from Thibs, could be a fun one.

Still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that after the 30-year Knick search for a Reggie Bullock finally landed Reggie Bullock we let go of Reggie Bullock

** we appreciated what ya brought Reg!

* good pickup for the Mavs, he'll fit nicely there

** our two weakest starting spots now guaranteed to be upgraded!

*** or was it a 40 year search according to Zizzley? Can't remember.

* I have no issue with calling this strategy the "Kamster Gambit"

a pretty strong big three in fact...

...but he ain't lead dog in a finals contending trio, no way no how, so we gonna try and grab one for sure if the opportunity arises and be willing to part ways if necessity necessitates.


**** think I'm calling back my Zach Collins, I checked on his health per Bo — just had ANOTHER surgical revision on his stress fracture three weeks ago, real bad stuff for a big man, would still throw the minimum but no more..

Most of these would make more sense if we hadn't drafted ObiT.


Heh

Good to have you back, Bo.

Here's the thing. Forget about we don't need ____ because we have Obi & Randle, or we don't need THT because we already have ______.

The next time, or some upcoming time, a disgruntled Harden/Davis/(Lillard)/(whoever) comes up we are very likely to be a player. That plus an A List free agent is clearly THE PLAN. That's how we get our A1 Dog, since it is not Randle and it is pretty damn unlikely to come about through the draft.

We are going to give up that big basket of preserved picks. That's why we have it.

We are going to give up some serious talent. Randle might even be in that package.

You want to have as much leftover in the closet as possible for when that moment arrives.

So you keep stocking up. In the meantime, competition is good for everybody.


*** I would love to include Zach Collins in that stocking up.

I'd get a hell of lot more excited about a Talen Horton-Tucker than most of the names being bandied about here. The kid is 20.

Funny, I am really looking forward to seeing more Obi next year.
*** though he may be better served developing with a different team, if he does end up as part of a trade package

I don't expect to see Franky again, but am fine with it if I do.

Knox? He's been offending my eyes for years, but last season not so much. Happy to see him again if he returns.

Not sure what that metric is doing.....

Can't help you if you don't understand advanced statistics.

Luckily, the EYE TEST suffices quite well!

*** the decades-long search to find a Reggie Bullock lmao

Nice player, love the guy, belongs on the bench, 10 mins max, you'll never be great if he's starting, do not overpay under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, looks like we picked up a guy who's got a shot to eventually replace him, somebody has to if we're gonna ELEVATE, GREAT!

Bottom line: Reg is a very LIMITED player. I love the stuff he does well. But there is so much stuff HE CANNOT DO AT ALL. So dangerous to overvalue. Now this guy - if he can take his stuff to next level and continue to evolve, different story, we'll see: https://youtu.be/nf609L6NmvU

I think I like it!


*** Careful, Kam, nobody can replace REG BULLOCK...NOBODY

***** I think I might like it A LOT!

** Let's face it, we had two starting positions we needed to upgrade to take another step up, Bullock's and Elfrid's. This could be one — Bullock can ONLY EVER BE 3 & (decent, but don't go haywire) D, there's some intriguing upside here. Meanwhile, Elfrid's is an AUTOMATIC UPGRADE as there will be NO ELFRID


*** Plus, what do we get, a future Hornets pick? That sounds like a nice trade stuffer to use at some point.
