Start Siakim at SF, take him out a bit early and then he spells Randle at PF. 
I'd wager Pascal could get 20 at SF and 15 at PF = 35 mins.

Siakim went for 21 / 7 / 4.5 & 1 steal.
Long armed defender who can pass and score.
36% on 3's two years in a row, before slumping largely due to a shoulder injury.

If we threw in Knox we'd move out $30M in salary and take back $33M.
Fournier + ObiT + Knox could get TOR enraptured.

Kemba - Rose - McBride
RJB - Quix - Grimes
Siakim - Burks - (RJB)
Randle - Siakim
Noel - Mitch - Taj

Really like that 2nd unit of Rose - Quix - Burks - Siakim - Mitch

Lamer still. 

Siakim is springy and athletic but WILDLY OVERPAID. 

He is a PF, not a SF, when we already have one [two, of course Siakim is an easy fit to project at SF while Obi could neverEVER fit there, right], and not a particularly adept outside shooter [ADEPT?  Try LAME, a paltry .297% from trey last season on 246 attempts, when we have a solid 3-point shooter in Fournier, .416% from trey on 283 attempts] of whom you so rationally disapprove and have Marked with a SCARLETT A in the honored BoD trad of Bobby Portis and Obi Toppin, and you propose making him the most highly paid player on our roster

Order some shrimp chow ho fon, and get a good night's sleep.

Chamaco's "brain"
« Reply #20072 on: August 16, 2021, 02:19:34 PM »

Kiid has been drinking Laura Ingram sperm all day. It has finally rotted out his brain.

If you think he’s bad on basketball, know he’s much worse on any other topic that bubbles out of his cracked cranium.

To his credit, his stupid proposed trade actually includes basketball players, making it more coherent and consistent than anything else he’s put out.

Not sure which Kiid brain storm you are referencing, but this Trader Vic wet dream is a product of our most learned colleague, El Beau Of Zizzley.

chamaco's brain farts are so frequent that sometimes we get confused.

I'm confident he forgave me for wishing him a peaceful forever rest, as in RIP.

So now time for him to forgive Fac, if his magnanimity would allow.

NYK 2nd unit should push the pace.
Quix, ObiT, maybe RJB out in transition.
That's be one way to get ObiT involved and use his strength.


Otherwise Fournier + ObiT for Siakim.
Who's in?  Who hates it?

(yeah, after Dec 15 or whenever allowed)

Pass.

I was very happy to see Jericho hit 4-6 fts. He’s playable now. He’ll be unbenchable if he gets his pace and awareness up and hits freebies at a reasonable rate. He’s a really technical screener and low box operator who has the strength and poise to catch tough passes and loose balls. He gives Mitch someone to compete with physically for the first time in his career which should be good for both player’s development.


I like him

I think he is G League

It was Bo’s trade (no thanks).

Kid gargling Ingram sperm is so stupid it has me attributing any and all bad ideas to him at the moment.

Even with Sims as a two way, he’s working and available more than half the season to push Mitch and Noel and get his Kenny Payne polish on. Big run in the GLeague will help him get up to speed defensively and in condition not to mention more comfy at the stripe.

JJ to Knicks (but later on)

During a recent episode of his podcast, The Old Man and The Three, the former Blue Devil addressed his immediate free agency plans for the upcoming year and when he might look to join his next NBA roster. “Just taking my time,” said JJ Redick. “I feel no rush to make any sort of decision on next season. And I felt that way when the season ended, and I feel that way now. My focus right now is just hanging with my family and enjoying the offseason. And we’ll make a decision on next season—what team, what city, etc.—probably sometime in the next two or three months. But, you know, I would say, pretty much definitively, like, I won’t be in a training camp to start the season. That’s not gonna happen. So, you know, I’ll join a team at some point this season and finish the year and try to go get a chip. That’s the plan.” – via John Watson @ 247Sports


Lets go!!!!
