Meanwhile, Knicks management was right.

New York Knicks

G LaMelo Ball, Illawara (NBL), 6-7, 180

There is a very good possibility that Ball could go No. 1 overall, but the main reservation for most teams is his defense. During his game against the NZ Breakers and RJ Hampton, he was challenging shots but guards could blow by him when he faced up one-on-one and tried to guard off the dribble. Ball has the tightest handle I’ve ever seen for a player his size, and unlike his older brother, Lonzo Ball, LaMelo has a strong pick-n-roll game, which you need at the NBA level. So far his dad, LaVar, has stayed quiet and out of the spotlight, which is a positive for LaMelo.

Meanwhile, Knicks management was right.

When FIz was fired the lazy take from almost everyone in mainstream media was "the knicks are always a mess, Dolan is the problem" blah blah blah.

If you're shit at your job, come work for the Knicks, no one will place any blame on you. It's always Dolans' fault.

Knicks gig is the best in the NBA!

That's pretty funny actually

Good game by the Suns & a frustrating loss for the Knicks. Helps us stay in the lotto even if we put it together down the stretch.

Monster games by Baynes, Booker, and Oubre.

Payton was justifiably distracted.

There will be days like this. Likely 2 more in quick succession.

[Kam]

First half - thing of beauty, suns couldn't make a three 0-9
2nd half - suns a blaze 10-19 from three

[carlos123]

That's pretty funny actually

Thanks Kam.
Me and Enes love you actually 😍 ❤️

Devin Booker has been a monster for a while. 

WOW. 

How exactly did the Celtics let Baynes walk?  Color me baffled. 

Wasn't one of our reigning handicappers pissing on Oubre as overrated and not worht a better contract and touting someone named Sadoransky [sic?] instead? 

Oubre really cooked our goose.  Pretty impressive wing.  RJ might take notice. 

MM and Portis kept us in the game.  Randle only 5-17, and pretty slipshod shooting in general: 10-37 from trey and 20-30 from the charity stripe, which really bit us in the ass. 

Did I neglect to kvell enough about Devin Booker?  Damn.  A 90% FT shooter, shoots a steady 50% from the field, doesn't force up every damn shot from three, and is good for 6-7 assists a game. 

We should be so lucky. 

Oh well...Clippers on Sunday should be scarier still.

Just one assist for that Uber-bum.
Kiid also predicted Uber's minutes would drop due to Cam Johnson.
Uber averaging just over 36 mins per in Dec + Jan.
Only plays under 30 when he gets into foul trouble.
I like his long-armed steals and general passing lane terror.
When his 3-ball is dropping it opens up a lot for him.
Up to 46.4% / 36.4% / 76.4%
Just turned 24.

Looks like Randle came back to earth with a thud.
Nice stats form Ayton.
That Rubio pickup really allowed Booker to play his game.
They were desperate for a PG and Rubio is a nice player.
Wish we picked him up when we had a chance.

PHX only 14-21 but they've had 6 losses by 2 points or less, including nearly beating DEN twice.  Split those 3 games and they'd be 17-18. 

Rubio - Booker - Uber - Ayton make for 4 quality starters.
With two potential all-stars. 
Baynes, Tank, Bridges, Saric, Cam Johnson are all solid bench guys.  They just need a starting PF.  Tank or Saric if those guys can get healthy and fit in.
Add in Morris and they'd be a playoff team.

Maybe need a backup PG too.
I know nothing about Ty Jerome, Elie Okobo and JeVon Carter.
I guess that's enough for now, when you're not a playoff team.

From that linked article:

Fizdale liked to dial up different coverages for different opponents, calling for his Knicks to aggressively trap ball handlers in the pick-and-roll, drop back into a soft coverage, switch every screen, and lean on different zone looks from game to game, or even within games. There’s something to be said for defensive versatility, especially for veteran rosters with the savvy, experience, and continuity to understand how to play together in different contexts. For a Knicks roster made up of youngsters still learning the ropes and veterans who just got here, the full suite of defensive options was overkill, leading to frequent breakdowns and disastrous results

Seemed early on there would be a number of plays per game where no one rotated to an open shooter.  Then when the Knix were trying to collapse in the paint but still close out, i'd see one or two plays per game where two (and once three Knix) all converged on a shooter (usually too late).

[bodiddley]

A list of 75 players who could be traded before this deadline.
Includes almost every Knicker, and a bunch of players I've targeted.

I'm still interested in: Kurucs, Kornet, Giles, StanJohn, Juancho, Montrezl, Dragic, Covington (tho doubt he's available and his salary is a bargain).  Bertans and Bogdanovich are interesting but could be pricey RFA's.  Chris Paul.

BOS should look into Hayward and Theis for Steven Adams.

Wonder if we could swing some sort of Morris for Montrezl deal,  The idea being he'll be pricey as an RFA.  NY would love Montrezl throwing himself and others around.
