I like all those guys. Did Rokas and Brunson meet heads up and check each other or did Kerr try to hide Brunson on Iggy?

Nice avatar, Fac.

Chamaco is not gonna like it. Where is he, back in Mexico?

PS. I dont think Italy is going to bounce us. OTOH, Canada did bounce Spain.

US and Canada in the semis. Canucks pulled past Luka and sent him home. RJ put it together and carried some load

We get RJ, JB, and Hart back with no reported mishaps and some more ups and downs to mull over as they hit the beach and the lab.

RJ has much room for growth. Better defense. Plus he needs to perfect a pull-up pop and shoot off the dribble from 12-15 feet, which would make his drives to the rack even more effective. And to improve his efficiency, doing more with less shots, while keeping the ball moving around the horn. Woth noting, that over the past few seasons, while still room for growth, RJ has improved his three point shooting, FT shooting and while damn near unstoppable going to the rack off of his left hand, HIS STRONG HAND, has also made going with his right hand a deadly option. More pointedly, not simply offering a nightly expectation of 20-6-3, but has a soul of fucking ice and NO REAR VIEW MIRROR. He can have a sucky first half and come back strong in the second half. He does not linger on his faux pas, but keeps his eye on the prize. PLUS, He's A Solid Citizen, With An Irrefutable Work Effect And Never Acts Out Like A Damn Fool. THERE'S A GOOD REASON Leon didn't want to send him to Utah. But Knicks haters, frozen in time from 20 years of frustration, cry from hunger with a holiday ham under each arm. THIS TEAM HAS A LONG WAY TO GO, but we have come a long way in the past three seasons under Thibs, for all his stubborn foibles. Jalen, Julius, RJ, Mitchell, Josh, IQ, Grimes, Hartenstein, McBride, Sims [DiVincenzo]...that's a solid core going forward, now, with one, two, three, four seasons of playing together, actual continuity in an established system. Knicks fans have earned a right to be frustrated, FOR SURE, but haters begone.

Why do you think that is, Chip?

Brunson, IQ, McBride
Grimes, DiVincenzo, IQ [Fournier]
RJ, Hart, Grimes [Fournier]

Too many comprable offensive options with superior defensive skills to fir Thibs system.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

Notice how everyone listed ahead of Fournier is also younger than he is? I think that means you do not want to wait for him to develop much more than he has to this point.

RJ is also a baby in basketball terms. I expect him to keep turning corners and smoothing rough edges through this season and the next. Then we will be entering the evaluation stage for his next contract.

I really do hope he reads the forum and listens to your advice.

Kevin Porter Jr. punched out and strangled his girlfriend, breaking neck vertebrae.

Flushing his career right down the toilet.

Some people are just too fucking stupid to be giving millions of dollars to year after year.

I will say the bar has been moving in the right direction in terms of what has become seriously and clearly over the line.

Marbury and his Escalade escapade would be an ender in this environment pretty directly. Look at the Josh Primo parallels to give an example.
