What is up w Jericho Sims? I would think he might be worth a look either beside Precious or OG I would think he has some complimentary skills especially against second unit guys.


That's a good question about Sims. He seemed to be progressing nicely. Played hard. Not a disappointment.

And then....he's out completely.

Believe Thibs perceives Precious to be more skilled, all around.  Not that Achuwa has really stood out offensively.

Another night at the office. 6-1 in the OG era. Deuce is clearly getting more comfortable. It is a pretty safe bet that IQ will make more than Brunson and Deuce combined the next couple of years.

The halftime speech from Thibs must have been something for the ages. I cannot imagine he was too pleased with the way we started out this game.

Cedi Osman?

No fucking way I'm trading Mitch, or bringing the Israeli kid on to sit next to Fournier on the bench.

Are you fucking high, Fac?

No more moves

We have a roster and growing  hemistry

Is Bismarck Byombo a shiny object, assuming he falls far enough down we can get him on waivers?

He has been playing pretty well for the Grizz, is cheap, has been around the league, and is more imposing than either Precious or Sims. I think of him more as a still somewhat bouncy fire hydrant than a shine guy. What is your opinion?

Asking for a friend with a salary slot and a trade exception to play with

Daniel Gafford if he is in play, as has been intimated, for what THAT's worth, on the ClickBait-o-Sphere.   

More size, more game.  Is 25.  BB is 31. 

We could give them back their #1, Sims?  Much as I would like to keep Jericho. 

Achuwa and Gafford would give us coverage at the 4&5. 

Anyway, Gafford makes more sense than going all in on Brogdan or Murray, the latter who will be costly.

Whatever happened in Denver, the man is not on the bench in L.A. because he disrespected or disrespects anyone.

By all accounts, he's handling it the right way. They like the young guy.

But you know....let's move on.

Thought your Hyland-McBride juxtaposition interesting.

The difference?

Deuce did not publicly throw hissy fits in frustration as per his usage. 

Kept his powder dry, did his work, and stayed ready for an.opportunity. 

Bones made a public stink, disrespected his team mates. 

Perhaps I am a blowhard.  You make a good case. 

However, Bones is a one dimensiona no D  chucker, now buried on the Clippers bench.

Found an article in Clickbait land,  discussing post Trade deadline buyout candidates.

Two identified as "of interest" to the Knicks?

Gordon Hayward
Kelly Olnyk.

Very much a win-win.

I wonder if this leads Toronto to pull Siakam from the market

Siakim has declared he will not sign an extension for anyone.

Meanwhile, do the Knicks really want to pursue a DEAL?

Asking for a blowhard

PS: Yet another DNP for one Bones Hyland.

MEANWHILE, a shout out to all the RJ Haters I the blogosphere   Dropped 37 in an annihilation of the Warriors, on 12-20, 5-8 from trey and zero turnovers.

Loving OG, a better fit for our Knicks, but as the main sled dog in Toronto, RJ should flourish.  Happy for him.

Some Facebook Fantasies urge us to pursue Bones Hyland, which to be mentioned in the same breath as IQ, is deeply offensive, IQ being about team, Hyland a no defense street punk only about himself.

You're way too hard on Bones Hyland, even if Kidd did have a crush on the guy.

He's no punk. And he plays exuberantly in the mode of Maxey and IQ. He's got real value and someone is gonna grab him at a discount rate.

In any case, we can all agree that's not an essential move for the Knicks right now.

Hyland sucks

By the way.  Kiid was a bigtime DiVincenzo enthusiast, so credits where credits are due.
