For TyH, I would have tossed in plenty more.
Missed op for NYK.

McCollum and Nance to NOPe for garbage and a 1st rounder.

Haliburton, Brogdan, McConnell, LaVert, Hield, Duarte, Stepenson

Kind of a crowded back court. 

Lot of 3-guard/wings in Carlisle's future. 

Isiah Jackson their new PF [we passed at #19] next to Myles Turner with Duarte [and TJ Warren eventually] at SF

Sabonis signed for 19.4 through 2024, so better numbers for Kings than Randle.  Signals a commitment to Fox, does it not? 

Once again, all of the Blogosphere Bullshit, the trades which go down? 

YOU NEVER SEE THEM COMING.

Clearly, Knicks were NEVER in discussion.

TyH was available and the Knix couldn't figure out a way to get him.

Rise to the bait
« Reply #22684 on: February 08, 2022, 02:17:15 PM »

Okay, I'll rise to the bait.

Miller was an interim coach for the Knicks when the team achieved the gaudy heights of 17 wins and 27 losses.

I don't want to ruin your pet project, but you might want to see historically how many times an NBA team re-hired an old coach with a losing record.

I'm sure it's possible. Just as I think it's possible that Jesus will glide down to earth any day now on a fiery surfboard.

I just wouldn't put any wagers on the matter.

elephant, you can't attribute that season record to Miller. Remember, Fizzy started 4-18:

"New York could only take so much, and after a 4-18 start Fizdale was shown the door. Overall Fizdale would end with a 21-83 record in the Big Apple. Once Mike Miller got the clipboard there was nowhere to go but up.

Under Mike Miller the Knicks have played better basketball, but for the most part it is still losing basketball. Through 36 games Miller has guided the Knicks to a 9-17 record, even having the team 6-4 in their last ten games at one point."



And no, I do not believe that "Jesus will glide down to earth any day now on a fiery surfboard."

It's really just Haliburton, Brogdan, Duarte going forward. 
And I guess they'll see if Brogdon fits or gets moved.
Same with Hield, though an outside sniper is useful.  Just don't expect Hield to do anything else.  Hield is likely to be moved again later.

They've got MyTurn down low (next season).  So just need to draft a PF, or trade Brogdon for one.  Offer them a Randle-Brogdon swap?

I hate when one of my favorite players gets exiled to some struggling team.  Like Bernard to Washington.  I've already been losing track of Brogdon the past couple of years. 

Never understood why the Sabonis-Turner pairing didn't click.  Though IND continually had bad luck with injuries.

They have Isiah Jackson at PF.   

They need a SF.  Assuming what's his name can't come back.

We still have an open spot to offer one of the post trade cut guys if anyone interesting gets let go.

Realistically at this point we can gather the fifth or sixth most ping pong balls. It is officially time to think about who we are tanking for.

That took a minute.

Isiah Jax has played over 20 mins twice in his 19 game career.  Just put together 3 strong games.  #22 pick.  Blocks and fouls a lot.  Jury very much out.

TJ Warren has been out of commission for quite some time.

Duarte and Hield can play SF.
So I'd still target a PF, but a combo F would work.
Look to flip Hield for a guy who cares.  Jerami Grant? 

Brogdon - TyH - Tor Craig/TJ Warren - Jerami Grant - MyTurn
Who knows, INDy always looks good on paper.
But Brog and TyH are unselfish heady players

Uh, right now, Knix are 10th draft seed and with Beal done, expect WASh to slide below us.  So Knix can expect around the 11th pick.
 
Pels improved, could conceivably catch us. 
Blazers just dumped 3/5ths of their starters, while a 4th (Lillard) is out. 
Always some talent in that 10-12 range if you can look past Donovan Mitch being short or TyH having a funky release.


The blown Frank and Knox picks in B2B years really set the Knix back.
Good thing we got Mitch in the Knox year.
Frank coulda been Spider Mitchell or Bam Adebayo.
Knox coulda been either Bridges, Shai or Porter Jr.
Any one of those players would help tremendously.
But if we drafted Donovan and a Bridges ... or Shai and Bam.  The whole franchise trajectory would be very different.

You can't predict how the Wiz will do sans-Beal, these things are funny. Other guys start to click. And it is easy to imagine the Pelicans and Spurs passing us, if we emphasized losing, or even the Kings now with a frontcourt stud, or the Pacers, cause Ty H is the best thing since....lol.

But it doesn't matter one whit as I've explained to folks a hundred times and past results have completely validated....Silver fixed it. The slot jostle is so worthless that spending time thinking about it is as stupid as saying the police have absolutely nothing to do with the Chinese health code app they developed.

Let's go win.
