For ObiT, it's mostly a matter of fit.  And PF, especially backup PF, is not a big priority.  As for Summer League, he's 23 going up against mostly 19 year olds.


Really liked Scottie Barnes on Toronto too.  He's like a 6'9" swiss army knife.
There's been chatter that TOR will move Siakim.

Yawn.

All our rookies look solid. I'm happy with how the draft turned out.

Look, I like watching Toppin. He can make these crazy, athletic plays, and he runs and moves like a big puppy dog. I'm pulling for him.

But is there anyone here who feels strongly that he'll be a starter in the league some day?

I have trouble seeing it.

Goose Tatum and Marques Haynes were quite masterful.
I grew up in the Meadowlark Lemon/Curly Neal era, and they were imitating and building on Goose and Marques' foundation/repertoire.

1951, so before the shot clock.
Set shots, but also lots of running hooks and flips.
Marques Haynes' flipshot looks a lot like Quickley's floaters.
You get to meet impresario/coach Abe Saperstein too.
While Dorothy Dandridge provides the love interest in the film.

Summer Knicks vs. Summer Hawks on Monday.

What time and what station please?

7pm EST/4pm PST. ESPN2 has had big gym games live while NBATV has been carrying the ones in the little gym. No indication of which one it is.

McBride and Grimes have solid spot minute chops as spark plugs or stoppers.

I was very happy to see Jericho hit 4-6 fts. He’s playable now. He’ll be unbenchable if he gets his pace and awareness up and hits freebies at a reasonable rate. He’s a really technical screener and low box operator who has the strength and poise to catch tough passes and loose balls. He gives Mitch someone to compete with physically for the first time in his career which should be good for both player’s development.

Rokas looked good, got a summer of closeup looks at the top of the ladder and goes right to an organization that can help him lift his game.

I’m stuck between Walker out of FSU and Simms out of Clemson for the second two-way spot. They are both well coached. Simms has the body, Walker has the motor. They both can shoot.

Obi’s quickest path to a starting role is to effectively defend wings. He won’t likely ever be great at it, but he’s made strides and can make more. Then he can take advantage of his gifts and cause real problems on the other end. He needs to add 3/4 to his current stretch 4 game.

It will be interesting to see how rotations shake out at camp.

My current read:

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

Sims

Walker or Simms, though I’d take either one over Vildoza at this point.

Think it's Fournier and Burks and Knox at SF.

RJ, Quickley and Grimes at SG.

Walker, Rose, McBride at PG.

 Not sure any final decision will be made on Vildoza till training camp.  His second year only becomes guaranteed if he is on the opening night roster.

YES

Thibs should put in some post ups.

Classic old school PF but an athlete, and this is the new NBA - so adjusted his game to be able to handle and play on the perimeter.

Work in progress regarding pace of offensive play, spacing, etc...

NYK 2nd unit should push the pace.
Quix, ObiT, maybe RJB out in transition.
That's be one way to get ObiT involved and use his strength.


Otherwise Fournier + ObiT for Siakim.
Who's in?  Who hates it?

(yeah, after Dec 15 or whenever allowed)

$33,003,936   $35,448,672   $37,893,408

By all means, let's get rid of our starting small forward. and go all in for another one of those easy to obtain power forwards, and commit to his obscene cap space eating contract.   

Well thought out, Trader Vic.

Kiid has been drinking Laura Ingram sperm all day. It has finally rotted out his brain.

If you think he’s bad on basketball, know he’s much worse on any other topic that bubbles out of his cracked cranium.

To his credit, his stupid proposed trade actually includes basketball players, making it more coherent and consistent than anything else he’s put out.

Not sure which Kiid brain storm you are referencing, but this Trader Vic wet dream is a product of our most learned colleague, El Beau Of Diddley.
