You know the chestnut about defining insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results?

This is how I'm feeling. I've seen these dudes. They're good. I like them. I just don't see how they make a leap.

I'm not advocating making trades just for the sake of making trades. I suspect we tried for deals and failed to get them. And so it goes.

We're solid. We're good. We'll work hard.

Can we get beyond that? And how exactly?

Windlar in. Jeffries in.  Ryan Viilanova in.  No word on Roby.  G League?

Knight signs two way with Celtics.

Jakob Toppin 2 way.

We sure have a lot of guards and wings.

Now it looks like Windler and Washington Jr. are the two ways and Jakob Toppin, Archi, and Jefferies made the 15.

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Randle Toppin Fournier
RJ Hart Jefferies
Grimes Donte Archi
Brunson IQ Deuce

Sims might get what minutes there are behind Randle ahead of Toppin and Fournier

And my bad, Windler is on a standard deal. I hope Toppin stays with us. I like his activity and feel at his size.

Ironically, Knicks seem to be projectingJakob Toppin as the replacement for Obi Toppin.

Eventually.

Short term?

Hart, Sims.

Welcome to small ball.

Ain't gonna happen.

How could it when OKC can offer up to 37 draft picks over the next 7 years, lol!

Embiid does NOT have a no-trade clause.

**** but if anybody whines about throwing RJ, Mitch, or Quick into some hypothetical mock trade for the reigning MVP I will still smack their imbecilic asses.....

I think Siakam is a better target.

IQ, Fournier, and one of Barrett or Randle and a couple of less promising picks.

We would get expensive but we would also get better which would be the point.
