Need to see 5 more games

Is Vonleh really ... good?

Is Hardaway really ... improved?

Is Ntilikina really ... part of the teams plans?

Burke might be more effective coming off of the bench as an offensive fireplug, perhaps playing off the ball with Mudiay and Trier.

Does anyone see Burke as a starting PG on a good team?
I think it's pretty clear he's a backup PG who can score in bunches.
Burke's merely our default starter for the time being.
Pretty good for a scrap heap pickup, coming out of the Gamma-League. 

Getting a quality starting PG is Knick Major Priority #1.

I would hope we haven't seen the best of 2018-19 Burke yet.

But bears watching what effect Fizdale's "whatexactlyisit" offense has had on Trey.

yeah that's a good descriptor.
So far under Fiz folks are excited and active, but it's usually that way early when everybody is playing and slots are up for grabs.
Still haven't seen anything that convinces me we shouldn't have furiously gone after Budenholzer or Casey (who are currently 8-0).
Not criticizing, yet, just saying.

Slight disparity in talent.

Just saying.

You are 100% correct.

And I am enjoying our season and am in no way disappointed in our coach.

The offensive vision is still really unclear, however. At some point we should be starting to understand even though it can't fully unfold until next year's roster is assembled.

But will be impossible to justify the choice unless it's pretty kick-ass when it finally does.

Given that the aforementioned two guys were free and clear, and our guy hadn't actually achieved a whole lot outside of really pissing off Marc Gasol.

This will be the first game I won’t get a chance to watch. Whatever happens, I will take Pharoh’s word for it.

I’d see if Milwaukee would take Burke for Christian Wood. They’re not using Wood, they have copious rim protection and bigger guys who distribute already, and could use the change of pace scoring punch in getting on top of the East now. They are already invested in Maker at the same spot.

We have Trier to do a decent Trey impression, Mud coming back to get a pg look, and Frank emerging as the best PG on the team.

We could really use a mobile defensive big like Wood. Robinson will get there, but Wood’s outside corner game makes him compatible with our other bigs.

i like the idea of trading Burke.  A starter now but not in our long term plans.  Sell high as you can.  Get what you can get.

I like the idea of being able to use Wood and Vonleh at least until Mitch and KP are ready. Kanter as well to bang the first 5 minutes and onward as the matchups are right. Mitch is ready for minutes and experiences but not a pivotal (excuse the pun) role. I feel like the longer we give KP the more we’ll get. We can let Kornet go and lock in Trier as a result.

Kanter Wood Robinson (raw)
Vonleh Thomas KP (ACL)
Dotson Hezonja Knox (ankle)
Hardaway Baker Lee (kneck)
Ntilikina Trier Mudiay (ankle)

With five guys out, you can look at the two-way guys, Hicks & I presume Kadeem Allen, though you could hold a tryout.

I think Kornet, like Mudiay, has a role on this team.

You like guys with slow feet and weak reflexes on D. I get it. You make it very clear. I’m sure that works great in today’s bump and grind NBA.

I like Kornet. I also see why we don’t use him.
