Good tank coach for the Anthony Edwards watch.

Iggy is interesting for what he can bring to the team and what he can do on the court. Peters is interesting because it’s not clear why on earth the team invited him to camp.

I’m at 33 wins at the moment, subject to review as preseason unfolds.

Fac watched Peters in SL. In two years he’ll be G League ready, if he works really really really hard.

There's an upcoming pre-season game in Shanghai.
Lakers v BKY
October 10 2019

Maybe I'll try to score tickets.
Would be fun to see LeBron in person.
And how the Lakes look as a team . . .

FWIW:
Quote from: Zach Lowe
The Knicks seem to think they have a 35-win team that might approach .500. Fine. It's the East. Someone bad is sneaking into the potato sack race for No. 8. The bigs they added are all useful despite some positional overlap that isn't super convenient for Mitchell Robinson (or those who want to see Kevin Knox play more power forward, which I could take or leave). Most of the big-big pairings are semi-workable.

Wayne Ellington adds needed shooting, especially with both Reggie Bullock and Damyean Dotson dealing with some nicks. Maybe FIBA Frankie Smokes is a thing?

The guard and wing play -- the engine of most functional offenses -- is just so uncertain. Julius Randle might be New York's best shot creator, which is not on its face a bad thing. I just see a 27-30-win team, and most projection systems agree.

Basically the standard take.
Strange that he doesn't even mention Barrett.
Or the crowded roster.
maybe he's just not terribly interested in the team this year . . .

If we get pushed around by every big in our division, the twenties is probably where our win total lines up. If we can guard JE, MG, EK, & DJ without giving excessive help, we could hold our own and total wins well into the 30’s.

I think our perimeter players will ball out. What that gets us rests a lot on Mitch and Bobby.

Lots of new faces and no real G leadership makes it hard to win a lot.
Plus the need to play the yute.

Knix have 7 FA's.
I wonder if that's a record.

I forget what low win total I said very early on.
Hopefully will see some pre-season and get a feel for the team.
Need to look at the schedule as well.
probably something like a 30W team +/- 2 or 3.

Sub 25 wins if Frank is playing 18 minutes

Then up incrementally from there.

36-38 if he is sub 10.
