* Why exactly did the Pistons not re-up Christian Wood?  Anyone? 

* Kyrie Irving bought a new home for George Floyd's family. 

* RJ Barrett has his ups and downs, but he has no rear gear.  Always moving forward.  Impressive. 

* Coach Thibs, given his rep for being so tough and demanding, he is a very thoughtful and nurturing person.  Notable during our losing streak, how he didn't hit the panic button, nor throw any of his players under the bus, but without sugar coating shit, put a positve spin on things, supported his players in their evolutionary process, and motivated them to keep grinding, as with RJ, and his faith that the shots WILL COME, and with everyone that no matter whether or not the fruit is falling, WHEN YOU HAVE A GOOD OPEN SHOT, TAKE IT.  Likewise, when most Knicks fans saw Julius Randle only as a trade piece, Thibs saw him as an impact player and a leader, and built his confidence through the roof.  And Elfrid?  Even Bernie Sanders wants him coming off the bench, but Thibs keeps faith with him, and his play on both ends, has been getting better and better, his shitty 3 point shooting notwithstanding.  Mitch?  He lit a fire in his ass, suggested he needed to see him put in the work, and Mitch responded.  And RJ.  KEPT FAITH, KEPT FAITH....RJ responding with two of his best games as a Knick against the Celtics and Magic. 

* PS: RJ is what, 20-22 in FT shooting over the last few games.  IMfuckingPRESSIVE for the third player in a two man draft.

The Pistons didn’t understand that Blake was a sunk cost and spared us the joy of facing a Wood Seku Grant front court for a several year stretch. Thanks Pistons!

When you live on a flat earth, you got to take time to do right when there is all kinds of evil around or things get out of balance and all kinds of shit starts sliding off.

RJ is still less than 80 games into his career. He’s still got a lot of tricks to pick up.

It’s nice to have a professional organization behind the fellows rocking the Knicks jerseys again.

The decades of soap opera were getting old.

Raps waive Len.

Release DSJ and grab Len off waivers if he makes it that far. One year deal at close to minimum.

Very little use this year and last. At least he’d be a reasonably big body for Mitch to work against.

Between Mitch & Noel he’d definitely give us another look.

Mitch Noel Len
Randle Obi Gibson
RJ Knox Bullock Iggy
Burks Frank Rivers
Payton IQ

We still have 45+ games of Harper in our back pocket.

Stretch Blake, tell Wood he’s the guy and pay him, and things might go differently. It’s under the bridge now.

So...

with Bradley Beal now the NBA's biggest trade target and with the Knicks possessing extra picks - are we ready to muster an offer?

Fuck no. Why turn Beal into Melo? That is so embarrassing for all parties except the Wiz.

yep, big NO.
If Jrue was worth 5 pick and swaps, Harden 8, Beal has to be good for 6/7. Thanks, NO THANKS!

Beal is 27 and makes reasonable money the next 2.5 years. 

If the price is right it would be foolish to pass on him.

We have a young team pointing up with young players to develop and draft picks to spare.

Will any of those draft picks become a Bradley Beal?

Again.. the price has to be right.

i already told you the damn price!

No, Steve Mills did not get hired as Wiz GM
*** folks acting like we're gonna get Bradley Beal for Dennis Smith Jr. and three Giuliani poots. The cost is 6-7 picks & swaps plus at least one real live genuine player at least 60% as good as Beal.

Nope.  Added Gibson.  Press already all over Thibs on when Taj is going to get run
