Knicks went to the second round with Truck 2 straight years after his acquisition.  We added 11 wins - then 3 more in his 2 full years

Lucas did go to the playoffs first 2 years with Phoenix

A bit of a wash - though Maurice's numbers were better

Well, the big addition and the reason we won 11 more was a 26 year old Bernard King.   2nd most important might have been Hubie coming on board to coach.

And I think part of the problem was Truck wasn't a great fit next to Bernard or in Hubie's schemes.  I seem to recall Truck not seeming in sync and his game not meshing with NYK.  Somewhat like Webster, Truck was a monster in the West (who nobody in the East saw in those days), then came to NY and underperformed before getting injured.

Another weird Knick era was when we kept cycling through PG's.
First we had Michael Ray & Ray Williams, then we didn't.
Then Hubie had a whole corps of okay G's.
Then a few years later we blew through Jax, Strickland, Cheeks, DoC Rivers, Greg Anthony.
That'd be early Pat Ewing days.
Just seemed whenever we had a viable quality starting PG, we ditched him quickly for another candidate.  Finally settling on Chollie "Good Effort" Ward.

Bullock won't play much this season
« Reply #7203 on: July 25, 2019, 03:02:03 PM »

Reggie Bullock may not see the basketball court until 2020.

According to a leading orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports back injuries, the “cervical disk herniation” surgery Bullock underwent last week normally requires six months of recovery time before a player can compete with contact.

The operation is usually referred to as spinal fusion surgery and it means Bullock could be out until mid-January, forcing the Knicks’ new signee to miss the 2019 portion of the team’s schedule.

I'd be fine with Bullocks and Duke Ellington not playing this year, or playing sparingly.

Sorry that it took an injury to clear Reg Bull from our rotation, but his injury did also free up the cap space to acquire Morris.  So a pretty well-timed injury.  Though i still think poaching an otherwise committed PF we didn't really need was a bit slimy.

Washington got the third best guy on that team. What order did they get picked in?

Not quite as bad as selecting Cam Reddish #1 overall would have been, but as close as you can get dealing with the Zags.

They only see 3 teams having a worse record than NYK.
And Knix tying with Suns at 27 W's.

Looks like the Celts # is wrong.
At that position, they should be 48.5 or 47.5.

Heat a playoff team and over .500?
I'll need to check what they did this off-season.
Whiteside and Josh Rich are gone.
Butler in.  I guess if Dragic is healthy, maybe ...

Pels at 39 and Hawks at 36 sound high.
Again, I'll need to refresh who is where.
But I wouldn't expect those two teams to be that good.

[Edit: Pels added Reddick, Favors and of course Zion.  And all of those Lake yute.  And their other 2 rooks are interesting as well.  Lotta new faces together -- I think only 3 or 4 holdovers form last year.  Interesting team.  Will try to catch some of their games]

45 sounds low for the Raps.  Unless they blow things up mid-season.

i'd bet the Under for ATL & the Over for TOR.
