True Dat

He Lacks CHARACTER

Not the man I want to hand over the keys to the car. 

Washington has been paying him quite handsomely the past few years to rehab.

And now somehow his feelings have been bruised and he wants to be traded. 

Dickweed. He ain't THAT Great.

How different is that than James Haden's pique?

James Harden is THAT FUCKING GREAT.  Check out their career stats. 

Hey...I feel you. 

But John Wall ain't James Harden.  He ain't Russell Westbrook.  He ain't Chris Paul.  He ain't Kyrie Irving. 

He AIN'T A KNICK.

Bully for you. 

Chin music, after all. 

Still, not a risk I would be willing to shoulder for a Hershel Walker exchange.

Wall does fall in the orbit of the Kentucky Mafia. All sorts of unlikely shit has already occurred due to that.

I’d rather not though.

Unless we add someone else, it doesn’t look like Jones is sticking past camp.

Rivers is currently the 7th best backcourt player on our roster, reflected in the deal he signed. He has the potential to make the jump to a scratch player. Maybe for him this is the team.

Randle, Frank, Knox for a big name does set up right now though I want to see Julius one more year, with better cast

A BIG Name?
Westbrook?
HARDEN?

[Cue Laugh Track]

Funny, I read that and was all set to toss out JOHN WALL to watch Chip's head explode.
And then Kiid did exactly that and we got a page or two of cerebrum spatter.

Have I become a kiid level troll?
Can I even aspire to such a level ...?!?



Anyone who knows what going on with these Knix please clue in Bo...

@JeffreyBellone


Knicks have added Austin Rivers, Jacob Evans + Omari Spellman to give them 16 NBA contracts and fill 19 of their 20 offseason spots

Another move is coming, since need to be down to 15 NBA contracts by regular season

Cap space estimated to be $18.6MM

The Knicks turned $5 million in cap space into 3 future second-round picks, Omari Spellman (the No. 30 pick in 2018) and Jacob Evans (No. 28 in 2018). Heady maneuvering from Leon Rose, Scott Perry, Brock Aller, Frank Zanin, Walt Perrin, and Co.

I used to dislike Au Revoir a lot.
Now I'm more or less neutral on him.
He's upped his defense where he's a pest.
He'll make mistakes, but he also pressures guys and puts forth could effort and makes ballhandlers uncomfortable often enough.

He understands his limitations better and doesn't chuck or take bad shots much anymore.  He's a solid 3-point shooter who can unleash a strong drive now and then.  One thing I like about Rivers game is that he's a bit unpredictable on both ends.  If he going to go chest to chest and keep flicking his hand in, or sag off and play positional D.  Is he going to bomb a 3, make a quick drive, or maybe even pass.

Rivers is always looking to make an impact, so you can forgive some bad shots or sloppy D now and then.  He also has the potential to get hot and go on a scoring run, which is always useful.  And we're paying him peanuts.  I just don't get why he couldn't find a $3M deal with a playoff team.  Why'd he could here?
As long as Rivers isn't starting, i'm fine with him.
But still have no clue what the Knickers be up to ...

In an alternate universe the NY Hawks:
- drafted Avdija as their starting SF.
- offer sheeted SG Bogdanovich at $18M.
- picked up Rondo and Dunn for 2/$15M & 2/$10 respectively =  $11M this year.
- signed Gallo for $20M
- signed Christian Wood for 13M

Rondo - Jr. Smith 
Bogdanovich - Frenchie
RJB - Avdija - Knox
Randle - Wood
Mitch - Noel

That'd be a helluva lot more interesting than whatever we're going to court.
Rondo @ $7M or Elf @ $5M?  Rondo ...
We wouldn't have to sign Dunn since we have Franc, though Dunn is better

We'd be a much better shooting team with Bogdanx2 and Avdija.
Have a nice set Wing rotation with Bogdan-RJB-Avdija.
Solid Bigs with Mitch-Wood-Randle

Rondo a placeholder until we get a quality starting PG
Wood ready to replace Randle.

Btw, Landry Fields is the assistant general manager of ATL

That would be a nice offseason if the plan was to not have cap space next summer.

I'll take 3 solid starters and a vet PG over cap space next year, thank you...
