It seems this forum was taken over by spammers.

Actually looks like one spammer using a different name on each post.

GO AWAY!!!

I see we eked out a win against the Pistons. Plan to go watch the replay. Looks like Jules was back and Grimes was out.

He saved our asses as much as one can shooting 0-6. The guy is a natural and a great pickup for us.

How did Jordan & Jimmer play? 

PS: We won...

PPS: How did Kyrie play last night.  Not particularly well.  Should we read too much into that?  One thinks not.

Sorry.  I am just not believing Rose holds up an entire season plus playoffs

If he wants to run a team he can go elsewhere

Anyway - happy to see McBride aboard - and I think passing on Jackson shows we want more seasoned stock (read:. plan is to fully compete immediately, not wait for a simmering sort)





yeah

Potential. 

Comparisons with our own Charlie Ward abound. 

Similar size at roughly 6'1"/6'2" and 200 pounds, with the requisite toughness that comes from being football players. 

At the risk of repeating myself, while undersized in pairing up with big NBA guards, McBride is a tenacious
ball hawk with a 6'9" wingspan, and enormous hands, on the order [proportionally] of a Giannis, a Connie Hawkins.  Forces on the order of 2 steals a game. 


Coming out of college, a better offensive repertoire than Ward had coming out of college, though Charlie dramatically increased his FT% and 3-pt shooting over the course of his career. 

McBride ["Deuce"] is apparently a capable 40% shooter from trey, as well as an efficient, fluid scorer
off the dribble and pull up.  He will be challenged to go to the rack at the next level, but hits his FTs at a plus-80% clip. 

A snarky competitor. 

Welcome to NY, Deuce.







heh

Ward and McBride both played football. 

Yeah.   And Bryce Harper and I played baseball.



Deuce's 40 per cent 3s as a soph meant diddly dick for NBA projection

The ObiT pick is still an awkward fit.
I guess we were uncertain about Randle.
But PF, especially backup PF, is a fairly easy slot to fill.

Hell, OKC just got a future 1st for doing the favor of taking on Favors (2/$20M) salary, to help Utah improve their cap.  OKC sent out only a late 2027 2nd rounder (the lowest of their 4 2nd rounders).
The kind of move Knix should be looking for.
Some teams will need to squeeze under the cap, or look to reduce their lux tax.  Makes it less painful for UtaH to resign Conley.
Favors a solid enough backup PF/C who can defend/rebound.

Assuming NYK extends Julius, ObiT should have more value on a developing team where he can get more minutes and develop/start, rather than as a 12-15 minute backup PF on the Knix, where Thibs prefers to run his starters long minutes.



STILL a moronic take.
