(lol, RJ keeps this up he might break into our top five, lol)

Another meaningful game for our boys. The Execution Game. Coming on the heels of the Randle Finally Acquiesces game and the Fournier Explodes game. All important for us. Yes, Carlos, some patience with Thibs warranted. Cracking Coconuts is a process.

Adrian Wojnarowski

ESPN Sources: The Atlanta Hawks are trading forward Cam Reddish to the New York Knicks for a deal that includes a protected 2022 first-round pick via Charlotte. Knicks also acquire Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick via Brooklyn in trade.


New York is including Kevin Knox in trade to Atlanta, sources tell ESPN.

I would give Sims a look behind Mitch and if it looked off, I would quickly go to a vet. If Sims holds his own or better, let it ride. I think Jericho finally missed a shot tonight.

I also like the Obi and Randle frontcourt some.

Obi and Noel are actually somewhat interesting in that they are similarly sized and both really good at covering ground. If there is no bully on the other second unit, it may be worth a longer look.

I hope this game is a harbinger of the perimeter guys finding their way into sustainable roles and we can keep this level of play going.

That is what I would tell you if I had any say on Knicks affairs, which I do not.
I would also ask you to work as an assistant for a while.

On an different subject, I would say BoZizzley really, really does not like Russell Westbrook.
What did Russ do to deserve that disdain?

That 2025 2nd rounder could be juicy after KD retires,  Harden joins the TNT booth, and Kyrie joins Bezos on trip to outer space to prove Mars is flat.

* RJ leading and dominating on both sides of the ball [32-7-2]

* RJ's D

* RJ's leadership

* RJ expanding his command beyond drives and treys, to include short stop and pop midrange jumpers right out of the DeMar DeRozan playbook

........

Last night was as good as we've played collectively all season. 


Yeah, it was incredible. Can we be this team?

It will be interesting to see how RJ continues to play. It's not about expecting him to play at the 30+ points a game level, which of course isn't realistic. But will he recede and disappear again? This has happened in the past.

If he can be a consistent force, okay, we got something.

So......Reddish had some issues with the Hawks?

Anyone know the backstory here? Seems an odd trade.

He would get an extension soon just like the Knicks have to decide on RJ's extension, and ATL is loaded at the wings.  He was getting fewer minutes than Timothe Luwawu Cabarrot.

KP trade tree grows taller

So since the Porzingis trade brought us the Dallas pick at 19 last year and the Dallas pick brought us the Charlotte pick and the Charlotte pick brought us Cam Reddish  we really must thank Cuban and the Mavs.

That's a fucking great way to look at it.

Huerter was getting squeezed a bit as they showcased Reddish

Knicks bit.  Quickley freed up for PG duties with Cam off the ball with second unit.  Yes, his takes Grimes out.  Need more than 3 point shots from that slot.  Reddish will slash - to what end - we shall see.

Biblical Tidings

Immanuel AND Elijah AND Obadiah AND Jericho

Thibs has a taste for Old Testament Prophets [and Bronze Age offensive schemes]

Hmmmmmm

I'm waiting for the other shoes to drop

Might there be other deals on the back burner. 

VIS A VIS DALLAS? 

Reddish was the #1 pick the Hawks aquired from Dallas in the Doncic/Young flip flop
Reddish a little taller, a little longer than Kevin, and showed some defensive acumen as a Hawk.

Qualifying Offer

Reddish: 2021-22 $4,670,160; 2022-23 $5,954,454; 2023-24 $8,109,966

Knox: 2021-22 $5,845,978; 2022-23 $7,921,300

Hill: 2021-2022 $2,389,641

Solomon Hill?  Out for the season.  Salary comes off the books this summer.  Saves Hakws cap space in the here and now.

Reddish all ours through 2022-2023 season, then due an extension or a qualifying offer.

I like this move a lot. Leon killed it, though he will need to pony up to keep both Barrett and Reddish on board, but not till some of this years FA signings are off the books.

Cross fingers the league lets it through.
