Trae is a generational talent.


As is Anthony Davis

Get the drift - or is it way over yer noggin?

AND THE WEINER IS....

Kiid.

Dear tube steak.

Davis played SEVEN seasons for the Pelicans before he leveraged a trade.  And was on the tail end of his first big extension.

Trae is completing his second season on his rookie deal.

Too subtle a distinction?

My bad.

When did I say they were trading him now?

[kiidcarter8]

I'd assume the NBA season is done and we'll be lucky if we get any playoffs.
The US gov't and the people are going to have to rapidly change their behavior to head off the virus.  It still could be contained, but is on the verge of busting out like mad throughout the US.  I don't have much faith.  Wouldn't be surprised to see the US place into 2nd most cases behind China, with a few states becoming like Italy.  So far too much has been reactive, when they could have looked at China and Taiwan and Italy and seen what works and what doesn't, and implemented serious measures before the spread.

Get masks available to all who want them.  Encourage their use.  Limit large public gatherings.  Space people out where possible.  Increase availability of test kits dramatically.  Train doctors and nurses how to use protective gear and handle patients.  Have back up nurse trainees and paramedics ready to help out.

Have emergency plans for temporary isolation wards.  China just shut the last of over a dozen public buildings -- schools and arenas -- used as temp isolation areas for those who tested in Wuhan.  They just set up cubicles with beds and presumably didn't let people go anywhere until they tested negative.  China also built two temp hospitals in about 10 days.  And has requisitioned some hotels for patients.  If the number of cases explodes, there won't be enough hospital space to isolate patients, and won't be enough nurses to care for them, especially if nurses get sick too.

Get more people working from home.  Encourage limited travel, both personal and business.   Face masks and spacing people out in public.  Maybe providing hand sanitizer stations in busy public places like train stations, airports, malls.  Gloves aren't a bad idea in affected areas.  Precautions are good.  Epidemic viruses spreading rapidly are bad.

Thanks for recommending the plan that is already pretty much in place

heh

There's not one Knick I think is an essential keeper.


heh

I think you will be quite disapponted in next year's roster then

[bodiddley]

How much of that is actually happening in the US?
They should go to near-Italy measures BEFORE the virus infects 10K or more and there are serious outbreaks all over. 

[kiidcarter8]

How much of that is actually happening in the US?


As much as is currently possible

How good arfe we if we keep everyone - if Harkless will stay on - and just add the 2/3 picks?

Is that doable financially? - I am talking keeping Bobby and Taj and Elfrid and Mo

Please dont come back with "YES, if we trade Randle"

How can anyone know the financials now?

Based on the CBA, the fact that kid’s proposal is comprised of honoring existing contracts, signing draft picks, and exercising bird rights means we can afford it whether it exceeds the new cap or not.  If revenues fall enough I expect there will be some negotiation between the teams and union to keep the cap close to or in-line with this year’s. Otherwise it screws players and front offices.

I don’t hate the idea of starting the season off with Taj, Randle, Portis, a Rookie forward, and Knox available to play power forward. Even having Wooten in the mix through camp.

Reggie is a great contract, and Payton is good value as well.

If people want to talk, they need to be making it sweet because simple continuity and natural growth look pretty good right now.   

[Kam]

Anyone want him back?

[bodiddley]

No talent Harkless had a terrific 1st half v ATL.

Collins reminds me of Karl Malone.

[lesterluv]

The dream of LaMelo has died.     Sad.



(unless Leon can orchestrate something)

Not in the least. That's what I'm saying. The dream is pretty much EXACTLY what it has been throughout the season.

Assuming he's #1, 5% diff from the depth of the depth of Fukwhale's stew..

*** and I give up.

** really

****** really, really, really, really, really

What WERE the odds of Knicks selecting top 3 when we were 3rd


vs where we are now (is it seventh)?


Easy to see us finagling something for LaMelo either by directly picking him or dealing up - if we landed top 3.

12 % difference between those vastly different finish positions.

In other words, if two teams draft in those respective spots 10 years in a row. The 7 team should expect to lose 1 lamelo they would have gotten at the higher spot over the course of a decade.

Or maybe 1 lamelo and 1 lamelo up to the thigh.

In other words, if you were dreaming of a Lamelo at 3 and were convinced you lost your Lamelo at 7 you are either a Beavis or a Butthead.


*** Woulda been damn hard to stay at 3 after firing Fiz. Maybe if Miller had continued to allow Julius to go coast-to-coast 12 times a game. Add in start Djr., actually, that might have done the trick.

I think you had best go back to the beginning - read what I posted.

Its fine if you think ATL will "contend" prior to their having to pay Trae Young Chris Paul money

It should also be fine that I am skeptical of it.

[bodiddley]

Pretty simple: You pay Trae & Collins what you need to.
Talented young players.  And they sell tickets, once that starts occurring again.

Hunter, Huerter and Reddish all look solid.  Just need one of them to Pop.
 Top 8 pick a-coming.  Capela will make a difference.  Bring Teague back at a reasonable rate.

Is there a better more interesting young team out there?

PELS:  Zion, Ingram, Ballzo, Jaxson Hayes
DAL:   Luka, KZ, Funky-Smith, Brunson
ATL:   Trae, Collins, Hunter, Huerter, Reddish
PHI:   Simmons, Embiid, Thybull, Shake Milty
MIN:  KAT, Tangelo, Culver, Okogie
PHX:   Booker, Ayton, Bridges
GRiZ:  Ja, Brooks, Jackson, [Clark]

Well, there you go, I did the work for you. 
As far as I can tell, those are the 7 youth core teams.
A quick ranking.

BOS has Tatum & Jaylen, but robert Willaims would be thier 3rd pup, so they are relying on a mix of vets and yute.  SMart s already 26 and a young vet.  Theis coming up on 28.
SAC has Fox & Bogdanx2. But Hield's already 27.

[facilitatorn]

You’re shorting Memphis Clark, who is like a Matrix 2.0

How old are Siakam and VanFleet? Og is pretty young, so I’d count them in.

With the right draft and Mitch, Frank, and RJ showing us their better angels, We’re not that far off from having a young core ourselves.

[kiidcarter8]

Hunter, Huerter and Reddish could be JAPs.  (just another player).

Like I said, we will see. 

The three star route is short a couple.
