Timmy has plantar fasciitis.

[kiiidcarter8]

 Well alright then.  Make the deal.


Too fuckin' funny.

[chipstern]

I'm not advocating shipping Timmy out. 

Biz is the progenitor of that narrative. 

Nor is her alone. 

The endless allure of cap space. 

PS: Biz, is there a link to this "rumor"?  I haven't found a reference on line.

BILL SIMMONS thinking out loud, so to speak. 

One deal that Bill Simmons theorized was offering Matthews and a second-round pick to the New York Knicks for Tim Hardaway Jr. and Frank Ntilikina. For the Knicks, Hardaway has a very large contract that eats up cap space that could otherwise be offered to an upcoming big-name free agent (like, say, Kevin Durant in July).

Plus, Hardaway will help New York win some games when it may make more sense to tank for a top talent like Zion Williamson. Since Dallas is focused on winning, Hardaway could make more sense alongside their young core. With that said, Stein shot down this particular theory because the Mavs’ front office wants to keep the cap space they will have this offseason:

In other words?

BULLSHIT

[carlos123]

Phoenix won again, but the f’in Bulls managed to lose in the last 27 seconds or so after being ahead the whole game. The Cavs weren’t even close.

Dallas-based rumour of Wes Matthews for Tim Hardaway Jr. I'd suggested this deal over the summer, before Timmy showed out a bit. Dallas guy said a second rounder as well. Not sure there's anything to it, tbh, but it still makes sense for the Knicks.

This trade would give the Knicks the freedom to sign a max contract while likely keeping all of Frank, Knox, Mitch, Trier, Dotson, Mudiay and Vonleh (unless Mudiay keeps going for 30 every now and again, or Vonleh wants a deal north of MLE money).

Moving Courtney Lee means you give up at least one of those guys (losing one other than Dotson and Mitch, whose contracts are pennies) if you sign a big name.

Move both Lee and Timmy, and you've got the space to not only sign a big name but to bring in an MLE-sized contract as well (Kanter, if you really want, or a wing, depending on who you draft).

I had seen it from someone in Dallas, not Simmons, but as I said above my point was less that it was veracious (I expressed my doubts) but more that I thought the Knicks should do it.

I'd rather move Courtly than Timmy. But that's going to be harder to accomplish, I think.

Nice to see Baker sign with the Wiz!

[bodiddley]

McConnell was trying the Pigioni inbounds steal play.  Worked onc,e almost twice.

Wil was fouling a lot.

Shamet was killing us.
PHI had 7 bench guys all +

Dotson shot well; but couldn't handle a double team, made a poor foul to give Reddick 3 FT's ...

Knox was good in the first half.

Mud - Hardaway - Kanter - Rook = 69 1st half opp points.

[facilitatorn]

Kornet and Frank had very disappointing games.

Some of these guys just are what they are.

We might get a rare one against Atlanta, then back to getting roughed up again.

[Kam]

6 rebounds in 29 minutes.

Kanter feasts on the weak and puts up ZERO offensive rebounds against real comp.

Tired of his 3 offensive rebound to make one basket stat-padding.

You guys are being duped.

Not a starter on a good team.

[bodiddley]

I like the way Fizz has handled the minutes/team.
Sure starting Mario was painful, but it bought time for Knox to get himself together physically (ankle) and mentally.  Now Knox has looked good most 1st halves.  Gaining confidence, reps, experience.

Not a fan of the limited defensive starting 5 were suing now, but Fizz is willing to try everything, and losing isn't exactly a bad thing for us.

We need to start getting Courtly back into the thick of things.  Maybe a spot start or two while Tim rests his footsies.  Because we need to audition Courtly for a trade.  HOU said to be interested in KCP.  They might take Court if something can be worked out.  NOP?  DET?  WAS?

[Kam]

More field goals made than three-pointers attempted.

Being a 39% shooter is, as per Nagel, no bueno

But he is capable of taking the ball to the hoop and getting the layup or sent to the FT line.

He really just needs to be smarter about his shot selection instead of gunning for threes like he does early in games.

This year he is averaging 6.3 field goal makes and 7.4 threes attempted, right about his career avg spread.

Only in his breakout ATL season did he manage the feat 5.3 field goals per game and 5.3 3s attempted.

[Kam]

Mudiay.... i'm not paying him to put this act up.


Vonleh is the keeper.

Nobody thinks he's a starter on a good team, I don't believe.

He's an excellent sub on a good team during the regular season - he'll crush second units and a lot of starters because he tries so hard and he's skilled. But he probably can't be anything other than a fourth big on a contender in the playoffs, because of his defensive deficiencies.

He's a fun guy to have around. Too bad there won't be a spot for him with the Knicks next year.

[thebizneverloses]

Mudiay.... i'm not paying him to put this act up.

Vonleh is the keeper.

Let's say no trades, no big name signings, Vonleh resigns, Kanter walks, and we draft, say, Cam Reddish. Do you prefer a) Mudiay at 15m/3 or b) Delon Wright at 24/3 or c) trade Trier + Dotson to Memphis for Mike Conley's $30m a year deal?
