I think we may be ok if we bring everyone back.  Maybe still look to deal Lee, sure.  Can cut bait with Burke since you love Trier and will massage Frank.

Mudiay/KP hasn't been seen yet right?

Yup, pretty nice second half. Liked how he ran the offense. Only got stuffed once at the rack vs. 4 times in the first half. 4-16 likely because he couldn't get off the lane step back that has been his staple over the last few weeks. The trouble with evolving is that people evolve to you. hitting tough shots is your luck eventually runs out.
.

Good point.

Kanter not going on the London trip.
UK won't care about any Erdogan Interpol requests.
But Kant is concerned about being kidnapped or assassinated.
Might sound dramatic, but Putin has done such.
And we saw Erdogan security thugs beating up protesters in Washington DC last year.
So why take the risk?
And this after Kant was stripped of his Turkish passport while in Europe last year, with Interpol notices out on him, and had to scramble to get US protection before something bad happened.
I'd be paranoid too.  Sometimes paranoia just means that you correctly understand what's going on.

In Turkey, scores of journalists have been jailed, most independent media shuttered, thousands of political prisoners languishing in jail for being suspected Gulen followers.  Tens of thousands removed from their jobs and under surveillance.  A virtual dictatorship with a democratic facade, like Putin's Russia.

If trump hangs around much longer, LBJ might find himself in a similar predicament here. Trump favors that same style of government also popular with Fredette fans.

I hope Mudiay can keep inching closer to his ceiling. He’s no longer a clear liability which is major progress.

I can't be mad about beating LA.

Bulls
Hawks
Suns

All have winnable home games today

Hawks did it. Bulls fell short. Phoenix was up early.

Thibs got the boot in Minny.

Mudiay is close to playing like he’s worth his cap hold, but has yet to get over the hump.

The Hobbled Lakers got waxed again, showing that our achievement wasn’t all that grand, however good it felt.

Phoenix flops, unable to contain Kemba.

I think the bulls and Suns will both finish with worse records than the Knicks. The Cavs could as well, unless we hit some bad luck along the way.

Actually my favorite iteration:

Even paranoids have real enemies

From Delmore Schwartz, and I believe the origin of that sentiment.

Cavs dropped McCaw and added Cam Payne.

I thought McCaw was a Holiday replacement, and a young guy with two-way potential to build with.  But who knows his conditioning or readiness.

Adding Cam Payne not exactly a vote of confidence for Dunn or Arcidiacono.  Acidflashback had a pretty strong start , but has been slumping since December.  Sometimes that's what happens once you make the scouting report.  But I haven't seen the Bulls except for one game a month back.

Cam Payne looks China-bound to me.  But I guess the hope is he can stay healthy and become a viable backup PG.  He doesn't do anything well. 

As for Bulls, I'm not a ZLaV fan, but I guess their starters going forward are:  PG? - Zach - SF? - Markaanen - Carter Jr.
Portis looks like a solid backup F.
Dunn or Arcidiacono might be able to be a backup PG.
So that's 3 starters and likely just 2 backups.
They'll add another high draft pick this Summer.
But they really need an infusion of talent.
