I’m sure zone breaking is on RJ’s developmental todo list.

Can you resign a guy you just waived?

We dodged the Drummond bullet. He’s heading to the Lakers.

Well, the MIL Nobodaddies gave the depleted Knix a run for their money.

So Randle is out and ObiT gets a mere 7 mins.  While the Bucks were playing their unknown squad, so would seem like a
a perfect opp for Toppings to show what he's got.  Not a good sign for our soon to be 24 year old rook.
Taj starts at PF next to Mitch, then Mitch becomes encrippled and Nerlens plays 31 mins.
Both starting Bigs are out and ObiT gets 7 minutes ...
There were a few plays where Bucks scored around the rim easily on ObiT.  Lopez waltzing around
him very early 1Q.  Some unknown Buck swooped past Topping on a drive when he seemed to have good position.

Obi made 3 buckets (!) in the 2nd quarter, and I was just hoping he stayed in to get used to the groove

But once Thibs took him out, he never did return.

I figure, as you're suggesting, that the coach is seeing the rookie as a defensive liability. But damn, if there was ever a night I would have expected him to play more, it would have been that one.

This is a strong moment. When Rose first hears about Mitchell's injury.

Says a lot both about Rose's own painful history with injuries, and the camaraderie on the team.

Big credit for Burks hitting the shot, but chumpy D by Forbes.  Just needed to follow his man Burks to the corner.  Not like Noel was shooting from out there.  Can't lose focus like that.  Need to play out the full possession.

Knox got in and played fairly well, so got 12 minutes which otherwise some likely would have gone to ObiT.

Not sure why Torey Craig didn't work out in MIL.
He's done well in the 5 games in PHX.
Just had a nice game v. PHX.
When PHX put their starters back in the 4Q, Craig was the lone bench guy to remain out there (for a couple minutes).
3 O-boards, 2 steals a block, and a floor burn.  9 points in 20 mins.
The kind of hustle and energy he showed in DEN.
Not sure why it didn't translate in MIL -- I thought it was a sneaky good pickup -- and so they decided to bring in old PJ Tuck to do the F 3&D grunt work.

Kind of wild CHA-PHX game.
DeVo Graham scored 8 straight to send it to OT.
PHX ahead all of OT but got really sloppy.
Terrible game from Crowder (0-9 on 3's and 3 turns).  Up 2 with 8 secs left, Crowder threw an awful inbounds pass, that CHA batted away but couldn't finally corral. 
Both Bridges has impressive games.
But Miles for CHA had 4 highlight dunks (and a 5th alley-oop taken away), finishing 18 & 12 (5 O-boards).  Guy was just everywhere, revved up after a couple altercations with Crowder.
Cody Martin did a  lot and played some sticky D (CP3 finished with 1 assist and 4 turnovers).
PJ Wash didn't score in 44 minutes.

Nice to see PHX able to secure a W when their vets Crowder and CP3 were off.

Funny you should say that. 

I was not a Woodson enthusiast from his previous tenure. 

Seems to have served Thibs well this time out.  Glad he found a soft landing space at INDIANA

We'er keeping Bryant and Payne.  THAT'S what matters to me.

The Machinations Of Brock Aller
« Reply #17873 on: March 28, 2021, 06:20:56 PM »
This has Aller's fingerprints all over it. 

Knicks release Terrance Ferguson, Vincent Poirier

Shams Charania: The Knicks have waived Terrance Ferguson and Vincent Poirier, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. – via Twitter ShamsCharania

So what?  We picked up a pair of second rounders: Philadelphia 76ers' 2021 2nd round pick and the Miami Heat's protected 2024 2nd round pick from Philly. 

Phool used to blow off second rounders like Vegas hookers.  Under Aller, we accumulate them.  TO WHAT PURPOSE?  Package them together to move up in the draft or help shift around other teams' contracts and obligations?  Cap space flex? 

Aller thinking three steps ahead. 

In any event....

We divested ourselves of...

Rivers [SG/PG]
Brazdeikis [SF]

And waived...

Ferguson [SG/SF]
Poirier [C]

While keeping...

Harper [PG]
Pinson [SG/SF]

Mfiondu Tshimanga Kabengele has been waived..  No word on Otto Porter yet. Or Jeff Teague. 

For the moment Houston is holding on to Avery Bradley. 

Wonder what Hasaan Whiteside's status is with the Kings. 

Googled to see who might be lurking out there. 

Kyle Korver / SG / Last team: Milwaukee. ...
DeMarcus Cousins / C / Last team: Houston. ...
Isaiah Thomas / PG / Last team: Washington. ...
Gerald Green / SG / Last team: Houston. ...
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson / PF / Last team: Minnesota. ...
Shabazz Napier / PG / Last team: Washington. ...
Emmanuel Mudiay / PG / Last team: Utah.

Coming off the cap in the summer of 2021, presumably. 

Terrance Ferguson   $3,944,013

Vincent Poirier   $2,619,207

Jacob Evans   $2,017,320

Omari Spellman   $1,988,280

TOTAL: $10,568,820

That's not counting the expiring contracts of Payton, Bullock, Noel, Burks, Rose.

OKC had to deal Schroder to get Green and Green to get Maledon (with Horford - we will see if they get anything for Al).

Sooner or later they need to stop the merry go round and let the coach try to win a division/top 8 seed.

Luke Kornet is going to wind up some kind of Celtic legend when all is said and done.
