Though it's hard to know what individual roster moves to make since the Knix really need a complete overhaul.  Not one player on the team needs to stay or should be untouchable.  Is RJB or Mitch a legit building block or just all we have to work with?


Turned out to not be true, right?

I disagree that Knicks need an overhaul

We have 3 starters locked in and several options to retain bench talent.

We could fly as is with DSJ and Knox starting, give them a chance to blossom - and potentially win 32-34 games

But I do expect upgrades in FA - and who knows what the #8 or higher will do to affect the overall strength of the team.

Will Frank take the step up in PER that he needs to off the pine?

Who leads, other than the coaching staff?  Yet to be determined.

OPTIMISM for new regime.

Good response

Could it be OKORO, then QUICKLEY at 8 and 27?

PG QUICKLEY was only SEC Player of the Year.  And you guys have mentioned the Ky coaching connection

A couple of you had OKORO high on your list.

Pretty sure this was the first forum mention of IQ

NBA Radio analyst this week squawked how "if you are New York, you DO NOT WANT TO BE NUMBER 8 IN THE EAST!"

Funny.

Yes.  I take a series with MIL, TOR or NJ - surely.

Progress.

And if we did accomplish this, this would mean that either some of our current youth and/or some additions turned out well - which again would signal optimism for the management team



And the crowd says AMEN.

There are a dozen others that should be added to his EFFECTIVE BIG MEN list

And a dozen more after that as important contributors

Had Nerlens on the mind (others including Okafor as well - and surely some that didnt pan out as well) when typing this

Back to present day.......

Nice to see CASSIUS WINSTON finally get some run for Wiz

Avdija having a  rough night (0-7, 0-5) in matchup with CHA, who are in serious win now mode

WESTBROOK already a triple double with 4 minutes left in third

I wonder where he will play next year.

For Hornets, our favorite polarizer GORDIE HAYWARD has his own strong line after 3Q - 24, 9 and 6

Would be grand to see Knicks-Hornets ina  best of 7 4/5 clash - please, Hoops Gods - let it be so

We want 4, 5, 6, 9, or 10. Playing in is much less lame if your pick still winds up in the lotto.

DRose needs to get healthy and up to speed and we need to fortify our frontcourt if we’re after 4,5, or 6. If not, 9 & 10 remain reasonable targets.

Not that many bottom feeders left on our schedule this season.

So your praising your posts from 6 months back?
That'll draw everyone back ...

Yeah, with Thibs as coach? 
And be lucky to win half of that.

Next to nothing.

No.  (Well I haven't checked his PER, but he has no step up)

Randle.
And maybe Taj.

Bogdanx2 had a real nice game v PHX.
22 / 4 / 6 & 4 steals.  22 points on 4-8 on 3's.

Last 9 games 48% FG 42% on 3's.
Finally healthy.

I'd be happy to have him on NYK.
_________________________________________________
ATL has had a tough time getting healthy this season.
Besides Bogdan missing two months with a knee injury:
DeA Hunter has missed two months and counting with a knee injury.
Cam Reddish has missed a month with an Achilles problem.
Gallo has missed a dozen games, but that's to be expected.
Kris Dunn hasn't played one minute.  Might be back soon (ankle surgery on Dec 29)

Having a very deep team has helped them hang around .500

We aren't likely to face the Hawks in playoffs.   Think I prefer Charlotte.
