With 23 games remaining, it is hard to visualize the Knicks making the 7-10 slot.  We are currently floating atop the Bottom 10 worst teams in the league, record wise.


Knicks playing (or not) for the pick right now

WALKER OUT FOR THE YEAR

[elephant]

Some feel the front office screwed up with Fournier and he's a huge bust.

Do not agree. He obviously has a lot of value and could easily find a place on a winning team. But the Walker thing....man, I don't understand how folks get paid a ton of money to make these kind of mistakes.

As an athlete, he's just a distant echo of what he once was. Why does the Knicks organization make these kinds of mistakes again and again?

[elephant]

Ah, good timing. And really, glad to hear that.

There was no justification to play him anymore (if there ever was).

As for the pick, if anything, this makes us more likely to get it.

(though, of course, at this point it's a stretch)

The Brain Trust has seemingly decided to Let Mitchell Walk. 

Yeah, I was surprised when Kam mentioned the economics of it. I hadn't been paying attention and had no idea.

Still. Any big contract with Mitch carried a ton of RISK. How much do you invest in a player who hasn't proven he can stay healthy? So maybe, as Bo suggests, the Knicks may have enough to offer.

Nonsense.

Can't stay healthy?

Fuck me.

How many millions x 2 years guaranteed do we have invested in walking wounded such as Nerlens and Kemba?

[chipstern]

So, Kemba shutting down.

Rose practicing.

Someone asked Thibs if he would start?

"We'll see."

Then he went into his BURKS IS OUR BEST OPTION ROUTINE.

"Polly want a Cracker?"

Fournier is frustrating.  Inconsistent.  Disappears too often.  And his D has been rather ole this year. 

Small Sample Theater
TyH's 4 games w/ IND:
21 / 11 / 4 & 2.3 steals ... 48 / 45 / 81

Very interested to see the TyH-Brogdon pairing.
A down injury (& CV) year for the Frog.
Could be available this Summer.
 
Brogdon & Duarte for Fournier & ObiT.
Fair deal, imo.  Balances the NYK roster.  Nets the Knix a crucial starting PG. ObiT can start for IND next to MyTurn.
Too bad they just added Hield, who is very similar to 4Eva.
They could do that deal and then make another move to jettison Buddy.

Or take the yute out -- so they retain cheap dead-eye Duarte and Knix hold on to underplayed Toppings -- and they give us Hield and take on our jetsam.
Brogdon & Hield = 4Eva & Burks + Noel + Kemba
Basically a Brogdon - Fournier swap, with IND ditching Hield's big deal for smaller one year shorter contracts, while picking up the useful Burks. Bonus for them if Nawlins gets healthy and plays well next year as backup C.

Knix get a starting PG.  Replace enigmatic, poor D, gunner 4Eva with enigmatic, poor D, gunner Hield.  Lose Burks as the cost of ditching Noel & Kemba's salary.
Good buy low moment on Brogdon.   Any takers?

But he won't commit to Burks

He sees something in a game he doesn't like and Alec sits 18 minutes straight.

Something along the lines of "this is your team" might help.

Pass.

Thank you, Josh.

Wow.

What would you do, Kid, in his situation?

I was afraid this forum would get immediately colonized by Chamaco, and that's exactly what happened.

He really is like horse shit!

Chamaco is EVERYWHERE.

The Chamuco (a Mexican word which means "devil"), or Mexican Pitbull, is a dog breed not recognized by any dog association. It originated in the center of Mexico.

And chamaco a Mexican word for kid, while chamAAco would be the equivalent of kiid.
PS. Never saw that tequila. Must be a good one.

Ever notice how Thibs never sits next to his assistant coaches?
