On a night we beat the Heat and see Jules get his allstar nod, I am slightly more inclined to let it roll with our current roster.

Nice to see Deuce and Obi give us a boost.

[chipstern]

Yup

[elephant]

Bones Hyland definitely going somewhere. Denver isn't even inserting him into the game anymore.

[elephant]

Is it too much to want to see SOME SIGN that the Knicks are working on their end of game play?

This shit is embarrassing.

And since I'm such a sourpuss after a victory, let me add one more thing:

RJ has the most peculiar 30 point games in which, when push comes to shove, I'm still hoping someone else gets the ball.

You aint the only sourpuss around here.

On the other hand, Fac is getting sunnier and sunnier. Almost, ALMOST, as positive as PP#1 Chip.

Here is a deal I would not mind adding some draft capital to,

Rose and Reddish to Portland for Hart and Little

Thibs would definitely play Josh Hart some. He does all the stuff Thibs loves.

Nasir Little is on a heater but still cannot find much time.

Rose gives them guard depth and Cam gives them some size on the wing and they save 19 million next year making them free agency players to some extent or at least helping them avoid the tax. It would take us out of next years free agency.

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Randle Obi Svi
RJ Hart Little
Grimes Quickley Fournier
Brunson Grimes Archi

Like I tell the deli guy, more Nova.

We have a Hachimura?  I wasn't aware.

We do not have Hachimura. He was traded to the Lakers in return for Kendrick Nunn who you called filler

Right

We had no Hachimura type player to offer.  But thanks for chiming in, Chip's flunkie.

As for last night - nice win.  I have us finishing 19-12 last 31, for 46 wins.  No team likes playing us, when all is said and done.

Pretty sure the Brooklyn Nets enjoy playing us.

Rui to the Lakeshow for Nunn and three seconds.

This is so interesting.

I thought early in the year when the Wizards were winning that it was illusory and they would start to falter. And they did. But playing them last week when they're healthy, I mean damn, they've got an array of offensive threats. And they moved the ball around beautifully.

And when Hachimura plays, he looks pretty good!

If they make the playoffs, we've got their first round pick, no? So I wonder if they're going to unload somebody else, forget about the now, and just make a push for the future.

Not seeing that.

With Kuzma, Kispert and Avidja, Wiz are pretty flush with big wings.

Rui wasn't a happy camper.

Nunn gives them some depth at the point. 

Porzingis, Kuzma, Beal is a core they would like to keep together.  Porzingis might not pick up his option.

So Wiz are looking to keep their core together

This is what you most often do when deciding to not give a rookie extension.  Wiz wanted a first rounder for Hachi but were offered two number 2s.  In the.
r end they settled when third number 2 was offered.  Nun was just trade filler

Nunn played for Whiz last night. First game.

22 minutes
14 point
4 rebounds
4 assists

Sparked a comeback from 19 points down

Not bad for filler

One thing about Kyrie.

Never boring.

The PRICE for James Harden?  THE PRICE FOR MAKING KYRIE & KEVIN HAPPY? 

Houston received swapping rights with Brooklyn in 2021, and owns unprotected first round pick draft swapping rights with Brooklyn in 2023, 2025 and 2027.

Houston received the Nyets 2022 #1 and owns their unprotected #1 picks in 2024 and 2026.

Be careful what you wish for, Trader Vics of the world. 

[chipstern]

Knicks gleaned excellent rotation pieces with consecutive #25 draft picks, Immanuel Quickley and Quentin Grimes.

In 2023, with our own #1, and potentially both The Dallas AND Washington #1, picks I will be in no rush to pony up #1 picks, unprotected or protected, leading up to February 9th, for marginal players.

OG is admittedly very tempting, but at what price? 

Hey

Kyrie Irving
Russell Westbrook
James Harden
Rudy Gobert
Donovan Mitchell

Donovan has worked out quite nicely for Cleveland, but every other all in deal has been underwhelming or a disaster.

And after the Nyets mortgaged their future to make Durant and Irving happy by going all in on Haden, Philly got to pick up THE BEARD for Simmons, Seth Curry the earthly remains of Andre Drummond and two #1 picks, after the Nyets gave up Seven #1 picks [4 swaps. 3 unprotected], a future all star in Jarrett Allen, a solid wing in Carris LaVert, and I forget what else.

[facilitatorn]

Toronto does not know if it is a buyer or a seller yet. This is probably all smoke and no fire as usual.

That is better than a trade in which we are fleeced.
