We've had only two winning seasons and two playoff appearances since Larry Johnson said
OUCH.
Leon brought back Taj, Derrick, Alec, Nerlens and added Evan to that winning core and mothefuckers are going, is that all there is, we're going backwards. Where's our PG?
PG by committee, chaired by Derrick Rose, with IQ and Deuce McBride, and possibly Vildoza sharing the workload and being schooled by our ancient mariner.
I was going to suggest George Hill, who was just waived by Philly, but was immediately gobbled up by the Bucks. And how about Ish Smith? Sorry, he's a Hornet.
IF WE KEEP A ROSTER SPOT OPEN, and remain patient, who knows that low hanging fruit might manifest.
PS: I was thinking, Dennis Schroeder for 25 million is a joke. For our remaining 8 million on a one year deal with a player's option in the second, like Burks and Noel? Ah, never you mind. With the ego that is keeping him unemployed at the moment, he might consider that an insult. Not the makings of a good team mate. Hell, I'd rather have Theo Pinson/Jared Harper.
PPS: Deuce McBride is a DAWG. Looking forward to McBride and Quickley going at each other in practice, and giving us a small ball three guard unit with Quentin. Remember how Knicks fans freaked when IQ had his coming out game? McBride is going to make some ass clowns eat crow sashimi. He has a 6'9" wingspan and enormous hands, and he is one harassing motherfucker. I just watched a video of him pick Cade Cunningham's pocket and beat him down the floor for a jam...then stealing a pass on the very next possession. If one could combine Charlie Ward with Immanuel Quickley, and have him schooled by Derrick Rose, that might constitute something passing for A FUCKING POINT GUARD.
PPPS: Here a clip of Deuce picking Cade Cunningham's pocket and then beating him down court for a jam, followed up by intercepting a pass on the very next possession.
https://dailyknicks.com/2021/08/01/new-york-knicks-miles-mcbride-steal-nba-draft/When Miles Davis was looking to constitute his second great of the 1960s after Jimmy Cobb, Paul Chamber and Wynton Kelly left to form a trio, Miles went scouting drummers, and he took along the drummer from his first great quintet of the 50s, PHILLY JOE JONES. One night they heard a 17 year old TONY WILLIAMS in a club. Turned to Miles, pointed his finger at the kid, and said, "HIM."
Thibs came away from Deuce McBride's workout and said to Leon, "HIM." The fact that we converted the Pistons' #32 pick from the Morris trade into McBride at 36, preceded by Rokas at 34, is some pretty hard core horse trading.
