Mavs wilted down the stretch.

Luka is a great talent. 

Easy to forget how young he is. 

He can do SO MUCH, with such ease and grace, that he has a tendency to force things, and make some rather....ODD decisions.  This will evolve over time. 

I thought it was interesting how effective former Knick TB was at creating his own offense.

Jocic.  WOW. 

There's the challenge for TT with Mitchell.  Robinson surely has the athleticism.  Remains to be seen if he has the requisite offensive acumen.  But surely a the potential to be a difference maker on defense. 

Porter sure has a smooth shot.  Geez Louise. 

I most definitely love the way Miami plays, the sharp shooting youngsters and tough ass role players Riley has assembled...Crowder...Andre.

I remember everyone wishing we be fishing for Jimmy Butler. 

Get it. 

Worth noting that JB ended up on the right team.  He is a Riley Man through and through.

So who would you take, Mitch or Bol Bol?

Porter plays young, makes mistakes, is tentative at times.  Had a number of poor fouls.

Wonder when a Knick will rack up 39 & 16?


Randle had a 35-18 this year

64 games

29  20+

8  30+

not just moving this guy for fluff

Randle nearly averaged a 20 & 10.
And yet, had lots of turnovers, couldn't make 3's.  Poor defense.
Didn't make anyone better.
Would prefer to move on, but not many teams will want him.

I'm concerned though that this season may be a waste and with that thought in mind its crazy to trade for Chris Paul. His shelf-life is expiring and wasting assets on signing  expensive contracts for a dicey year of play seems risky.  Better to trade for longer term assets OR draft well and use this year to stockpile a few more kids.  Two years out this will be a superteam.


Ridiculous

I would take Mamie Van Doren. 

Dull day in China, Bo?

We could have taken Bol. 

We took Brazdeikis.

Says you, numb nutz. 

Chris Paul still has plenty left in the tank.  Love him. 

But CP should be the final piece, not the first. 

We would have to gut what little talent we have to bring him here in a trade, to play with...WHO? 

Let's go to the Real GM Trade Checker.  NO FAs, only signed contract players. 

Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Frank Ntilikina, Dennis Smith, Kevin Knox for Chris Paul. 

Congrats, successful trade. 

Sounds like a plan, huh? 

Of course, now GM Kiid could fill those open roster spots with more proven veterans, like Jimmer.

I like when we agree..

Paul George

Paul George. 

Man on a fucking mission. 

DAMN!

PS: I should like to think that R.J. Barrett is presently wearing his protective mask, and maintaining social distance in TT's rec room and taking copious notes ever as we speak.  This is what a big time two way, five-skill, TO TIER NBA CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER WING looks like, young talent.
