I think we could get Luka Saminic from the Jazz. They have too many bigs who need to play.

The rights to Jokabitus and a bag of balls should get it done.

I.am sure you might recall that Luka was once signed to a Knick 2-way, played well, was shut down with plantar fasciatis [sic?], and was released

2 Way Signing
« Reply #26926 on: July 19, 2023, 05:27:05 PM »

Reports are that the Knicks have signed PF-C Nathan Knight to a 2-way.

I've seen him listed as 6'8" or 6'10", 250-260 pounds.

Played for the T Wolves past two years.

So much for Trader Facil's  Luka Samanac outreach.  Liked Luka and wished we had been more patient.

PS: Interesting projections as to some tenable talent being available via the waiver wire from OKC

I am going to have to look into Knight.

The reason he is available is Leonard Miller. Is Miller going to displace Towns or Slowmo I wonder.

This video made me cry a little

https://youtu.be/X97gvKgcBBo

His shooting form is like Haliburton and for the same reason. It lets you wait longer before committing to passing or shooting without breaking the rhythm of the action.

Anyways, Nat Knight might be a Knick you say.

Fac has read the release and checked the tape, the cherry picked good stuff at least. Fac is happy.

Maybe this guy has a regular contract by the end of camp.

Still want Charlie Brown Jr.

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Julius Roby Knight
RJ Hart Jefferies
Grimes DiVincenzo Brown Jr.
Brunson IQ McBride

Buy out the soggy baguette and get to business.

I read that roster as having Larry Brown Piston style championship potential in the League as it is today if Roby can give guys like LBJ, Butler, Klaw and Tatum 25 minutes and 5 hard fouls.

And you could put me down for 45 wins, a two game bump from last year.

Three point shooting up to .368 last season in limited minutes. 

Listed as either 6'8" or 6'10", the 250 pound F-C Nathan Knight, played two seasons for Minny. 

In his senior year, Knight averaged 20.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game on his way to being named the CAA Player of the Year, becoming the first player in William & Mary's history to win the award.

Knight also received numerous other accolades, including CAA Defensive Player of the Year.

I can no longer see or post to the forum on my computer, no problem on the cell phone.
The message I get on chrome is:
This site cannot provide a secure connection (well, I knew that, but did not use to give me trouble).
forums.escapefromelba.com uses an unsupported protocol.
ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

I tried two more browsers with the same result.
I also went through settings to allow the forum as a no secure connection site.

Still the same result.

Can anyone help? I really enjoy the forum on the computes. Thanks

Bruh,  I saw that message until today.

Missed you, sunshine.

Except for the occasional intermittent outage it has never been away for me.

I hope you have had good travels in the meantime

How much do you blame the decent of Fournier from well reputed shooter to social disease on our always polarizing coach?

Again...

The idea that Embid is in play?

NONSENSICAL


If you haven't noticed the number of A-LIST stars who have put themselves in motion over the last five years, you are already dead.

Completely possible, and inching ever so slowly toward probable.

Where there is smoke, there will be fire.

Philly hath f'd themselves so many times that it is close to irreparable. Original sin, not one, but the failure to resign Jimmy Buckets will haunt forever. Good. F Philly!

If you'd rather debate which 13th man we should pick up and not play, well, have at and have fun. I could care less.





** If Jokic himself came into play the forum consensus would be 2 picks but never 3, with I. Quick untouchable, lol

*** The former rookie of the year returns....welcome home.

**** Trevor Keels, lol, whoop d goddamn doooooo....

Knock Yourself Out

Time for the Ayotolah Dawg to issue more Phlatbush Phatwahs against JR, RJ and TT.

Bottom Line: EMBID Not In PLAY

Excellent travels my friend.

With my browser-banishment here I feel like my time away I was actually in another dimension, where I got to see the Knicks make the playoffs, knock off a higher seed, and compete vs an eventual finalist.   It was like that THANOS meme.   



How was it on earth prime?  Hope you guys had an exciting season.  It had a little bit of everything.

I saw what Evan said and i'm actually not gonna kill him for it.  Evan Fournier is a pro.  When he made his comments the other day, he knew what he was doing.  Trying to get outta here but held hostage by his contract.  His ploy won't work because i don't think he is willing to make a big stink about it.   Him telling some french reporter isn't really a big stink.  Maybe we ask him to stay home instead of come to camp now.  That's about all it would amount to. He is stuck here and is an important piece (as a contract) for our next evolution.

I love me some Jalen Brunson.  He is our Batman.

I love me some Immanuel Quickley (tough playoffs bud).  Still seeing Robin potential.

RJ - meh.   This is a break or make year coming up for him

Sad to see OBI fly away, and will monitor his sitch in INDY closely.  Might smile when I see his next dunk, even if it's over iHart.

And I love me some Elba.  I missed you guys.  Had to go to some deep dark places to find a new home.  But it feels nice to be back.
