I can't find any news about the "Delete Eight" mini-bubble that was talked about. 
Seems like that idea has been shelved?  Why couldn't it begin this week right after the Orlando bubble emptied out?

Nah, man - let's keep our stars healthy

Found this site by accident.  Nice.

Terry’s grown to 6-foot-2 barefoot and added 14 pounds to reach 174, and his stock has increased accordingly. Multiple league sources say Terry is receiving interest in the mid-first round. He’s been ranked in my top 10 for months because of his shotmaking ability packaged with a feel for passing and a grit for defense. – via nbadraft.theringer.com



yep

League sources say that VanVleet is indeed among the free agent options under consideration by New York. I don’t know how strong the Knicks’ interest in VanVleet is, but there was one report about New York preparing an offer of more than $20 million per season for the point guard. 1 week ago – via SportsNet New York

The idea got watered down and watered down until it devolved into the voluntary informal group workouts in local markets you've been reading about. Over and done already. Still think it's turns out to be a real disadvantage for the Delete Eight, and expect those teams to come out of the gate much more slowly than those that got together competitively in Orlando.

I disagree

Time together on the practice/scrimmage court can prove more effective than months of games, especially for a young team with a new coach

All reports out of Thibs-camp have been excellent.

Interesting new O'Connor list - has Killian Hayes #1 and Vernon Carey down all the way to 49.

Aminu is a reasonable idea to get us a genuine 3&D vet.
Some cheaper alternatives: DeMarre Carroll and Luc M&M.
Both are 34 and I'm not sure how much they have left in the tank.
But either would come cheap on short deals.

As for an additional shooter, Mirotic played last season in Spain.
He's 29, a nice stretch 4, boards well.
Maybe $5M or so gets him if he is willing to come to virusland.
Side benefit: we wouldn't be keeping Portis.

Not by any means saying worthless. But no indication we got solid weeks together by everybody, whoever everybody is. And simply not the same.

[kiidcarter8]

Isnt Mirotic the player that just got COVID?

Draft interviews start Friday

https://www.postingandtoasting.com/2020/10/13/21514104/in-person-interviews-with-draft-prospects-can-start-as-early-as-friday


Still looks like a deal down


Teams directly behind the Knicks in the draft order include Washington (9), Phoenix (10), San Antonio (11), Sacramento (12), New Orleans (13), Boston (14) and Orlando (15). Berman mentions that the Magic have shown interest in Dennis Smith Jr. — could a larger trade be on the horizon?




Tyrese Maxey, eh?  Similar enough I guess to Tyler Terry

Only if the price is right. 

Isn't Bullock a 3&D option? 

[kiidcarter8]

Bullock must be Thibs' type.  I liked him.

Interesting stat I just saw

R J Barrett is in the 90th percentile when looking at team trips to the FT line with him in/out of the game

And Elf Payton is in the bottom 10%, as is Taj Gbson.
