Player1: 12 pts 7 assists 6 rebounds 1.5 stls in 32 mpg
Player2: 10 pts 7 assists 5 rebounds 1.5 stls in 28 mpg

Player 1 signed for 4yrs 85 mill in a sign and trade costing players and a 2nd
Player 2 is unsigned

Player 1 is Lonzo Ball
Player 2 is Elfrid Payton

Recency and trajectory counts. It still remains to be seen if Lonzo is viable in a playoff series. We know that pretty categorically about Elf now.

Curious to see who is more step in ready out of Duce and LV.

With iSO capable wings galore now, the role of the young shrimps on the roster can be simplified for the minutes they play with or behind Rose.

SL underway. Grizz spank half the Jazz.

Patton looked good for Utah. Everyone looked good for the Grizz.

I like us sitting with a solid roster, a bit of cash, and potentially a spot or two at this stage. It sets us up to be third party on contractually problematic transactions other teams might be motivated to make.

If it doesn’t happen, I still like what we’re bringing to the table.

Subtractions: Bullock Elfrid Frank Pelle

Additions: Fournier Vildoza Grimes McBride Sims

Yes we had Luca last year, but he never suited up, so I don’t count it. He’s here now.

There’s good competition at the margins and up-and-comers all over to keep incumbents on their toes.

I love that our young guys got in NT work this summer in the US & Canada and that Evan is having a nice Olympic run.

We can put a lot more time in this upcoming camp putting in a crisp and effective offense which would actually help our defense improve more than just about anything else we could do.

Also curious to see what a full Thibs/Kenny Payne off-season has done to Toppin and Knox. There is definitely some leveling up potential on that front probably more growth than we’ll see from RJ and Quickley who seem closer to fully baked for the most part.

Kemba Walker!

What's not to love?



** OK, 3-14 shooting once-in-awhile, but I'm still all in!
*** Career high 90% from the line last year, can ya feel it?

Kemba Walker!

[elephant]

Holy fuck!

[Kam]

So we are paying Kemba 8 mil.  And it looks like we are done.

Kemba and Evan are a clear upgrade from Elfrid and Reggie.

The criticism is that this team has used its cap space and has a 2nd round ceiling.

But to that I say, so what?  Roster construction right now might say 2nd round ceiling, but:

--- A) If RJ improves like we think he will continue to improve and there's no reason to say he won't

AND

--- B) we make a trade for another high caliber player to create a three headed monster (RJ, Randle, PlayerX)

Then the ceiling changes.  We are basically some internal improvement and ONE PLAYER away from being a real contender.

That's the glass half full perspective.

Again the glass half empty perspective we all know... blah blah blah ... lolKnicks ... washed up PG. ... cap space used on a 2nd round playoff ceiling

So we know some Knicks fans will still be unhappy until we get there.  They need to see the glass full before they'll drink.  That's fine.

I like watching the glass fill up.

Me 2. We are stocked and so flexi. Still got the picks. All those 3-year contracts are team option 3rd. Fully ready to play if any big dogs end up in play. Best mgmt in the league. Fun to watch with room to grow.  Last year I had to FFWD through the first six minutes of each game to get through the Elfrid piece. No more! Bring it on!

** That 6-10 prediction? We'll see about that. Boston imploded last year. We'll see who implodes this year. And stays healthy. We're a continuity team. Continuity teams often come out of the gate fast. Speaking of continuity teams. I like the Jazz offseason. Rudy Gay a very sweet pickup. Just got to keep their backcourt healthy.

Knicks brass has BRASS!

Kept Walker talk quiet all this time.  Not one of these fucks had the scoop or even the scenario in their heads.

Heh

Second round ceiling?  Stopppp...

[kidcarter8]

"Knicks are now done"

So which player under contract and with a non contender might you want for this roster?

Careful assuming things.

[facilitatorn]

So Sims & Simms as two-ways.

Mitch Noel Taj
Randle Obi Knox
Fournier Burks Grimes
RJ Quickley Vildoza
Walker Rose McBride

That’s juicy. I’ll take it.

There's no more roster spots. 
Cap room has been used. 
Newly signed players can't be traded with other assets for 60 days. 
So it's a good bet they're done making huge moves unless you're signing another buyout guy to a minimum deal and waiving someone.

In the playoffs had we had a healthy Mitch and two other starters that must be guarded at all times in Walker and Fournier I dare say Randle and RJ would've had a much easier time creating offense.   

[facilitatorn]

That’s for damn sure. Adult supervision all the way.

On reflection, I think we start Rose and spell him with Walker, Rose provides the D and already has the coach-player ESP, and the MVP on the shelf plus incumbency gives him the rank.
