What's going on with Dennis Smith??  I haven't really been following the season so far but noticed he's only averaging about 8 mpg?  I saw he had to miss the Celtics game due to his stepmom's death, but can't find any mention of his lack of playing time during the 3 games he was dressed for

Jr. Smith had back trouble in pre-season. 
When he came back in regular season, he just looked un-confident and rusty.  Didn't look right.  Struggled.

With the stuffed roster we have, I am not giving any 1st round pick out in a trade unless I'm getting a key player.  I'd rather kick in Taj or Ellington or Dot or Franc as a trade sweetener, rather than give away a 1st rounder.  We draft pretty well, we have high picks, we could use the cheap rookie deals to balance out our cap

Maybe the only thing Phil did well was not give away 1st rounders.

As for Brogdon, many/most here wanted him. 
The guy can play and fits any team.
My favorite player in the Association.

yeah.... not too sure Kings give us Bogdan for Frank or Taj

Wanting him wasnt too much of a stretch of thought

Price always matters

Unprotected 1 and he was all yours.

FULTZ starts and splits game 24-24 with Augustin

Nice to see.  4-7 from field with 3 steals

Well, unfortunately SACto already loaded up on bench vets this Summer.  But Dedmon, Ariza and Cory Joe have all underperformed thus far.  Rich Holmes, a fave of mine, has been solid.

But can always look for a 3-way, in which we give a bench load of reserves to a thin team and they give SAC a 1st and a player for salary ballast. 

Not sure what SacKings need/want.
Which is probably why a pick would appeal to them.
Knix primarily need to get a PG from somewhere.
But I guess being opportunistic on young talent as it becomes available is always sensible.

[kiidcarter8]

Makes as much sense to play Bogdon at PG as it does Barrett.

But not so sure we are giving him 5-70 for 2020-'25

[kiidcarter8]

That TYPE of deal is not a problem for me.  Take a guy back in deal that you WANT TO extend.

[kiidcarter8]

Beauty of including Smith is that you save 5+ mil for 2020-21 if Bogdonovic doesnt stay

]“It’s tough for Julius not having a true playmaking point guard,’’[/b] said one person close to the situation. “Responsibility falls to him to facilitate and with assists comes turnovers. He’s probably just frustrated because he has immense pride.’’

This rings true to me and is something we've seen from game one. Tried to do too much. He's a guy who needs a strong point guard directing shit.

We don't have one.

When he tries to compensate, it looks reckless. Randle is really good, but in this context, all his weaknesses are on display.

[kiidcarter8]

Has to make more clever decisions.  Timing and non telegraphing are key.

Bullish on Randle?  Yes.  Does so much offensively.  Love how the Knicks are in contention every game, since they have fire power to recover from deficits.

[kiidcarter8]

Reminder - game is at SIX O'CLOCK today

[bodiddley]

Franc & Portis starting.

Chance to see what's up with SacKings.
Ariza has played more than 20 minutes every game, but hasn't scored in half the games so far,  Last game he played 23 mins and didn't take a FG.
Odd,

Hield with a slow start to the season.
Along with most Kings.

[bodiddley]

Knix offense mostly posting up and iso plays.
Mid-range shots.

Knix with few passes.

Lotta fouls.
