Ryan Arcidiacono?
The Villinova point guard is back on yet another 10-Day Contract, while career scrub Solomon Hill, out for the season in any event, has been waived.
Swell.
Now Miles McBride will have company on the bench while Thibs amps up our lead lagging assists totals by tasking the game but overmatched Alec Burks with "running the offense," which mainly consists of tossing the ball into ISO-Julius so he can over dribble into double teams, when he is not briskly/efficiently kicking out to stationary spot up shooters
God forbid we shared the ball and employed motion and cutters.
PS: What's the Over/Under on when Thibs plays Kemba right back on to the Injured Reserve list.
PPS: I really like Nerlens Noel, but what's the Over/Under on him getting on the floor for even 41 games this season? Not making much of a case for his lawsuit againt Rich Paul.
PPPS: Sure enough, the POST was banging the drums for a Karl Anthony-Towns transaction. SERIOUSLY? In what sub strata of the known galaxy is that even a tenable option. "Oh, but he wants to be a Knick?" BS. The Wolves seem to be making the next steps with their core of Edwards, Russell and Towns, and have a host of lively bodies coming up behind them, and a coach who has them playing Ferocious D. And of course, having reunited RJ with Cam, predictably, visions of sugar plum fairies and Zaftig Williamson dance in jagoffs' heads, never mind that the bone in his foot is healing at an agonizingly slow pace, not abetted by the fact that he seems to be well over 300 pounds.
PPPPS: Not sure what the "Next" Leon Rose "Deal" might be [perhaps a Mulligan on picking Obi ahead of Haliburton, as Toppin seems to occupy a place of trust in Thibs' mind right up there with Kevin Knox], but at least overpaying for Myles Turner [or Sabonis] seems to be off the table. Turner has a stress fracture in his foot, so he is out well past the trade deadline, and Sabonis sprained his ankle. Jerami Grant is now the flavor of the month, along with DeAron Fox and rumor perennial, Ben Simmons, with whom Darel Morey appears to have seriously over-played his hand. And of course, rumors about HOW BADLY we want Jalen Brunson proliferate. Well, WISHING AIN'T FISHING, and for the life of me, uncertainty about his next contract notwithstanding, why the fuck would Dallas trade him, as well as he has been playing? Well, apparently, if we gave them back their 2023 #1 pick, that would precipitate trade flexibility on ALL OF THEIR CURRENT AND FUTURE #1 picks. I see multiple masturbatory fantasies involving Kemba, save there would have to be other bodies involved to make the numbers work, and I suspect that an Obi > Jalen exchange would not sit well with NY fans. Who knows?
