Teammates at Kenturcky.

Similar size, skillsets and spirt.

FEARLESS. 

No earthly reason why IQ cannot serve likewise for the Knicks. 

Listening THIBS? 

PS: Harden got his hospitality call from Mount Olympus last night did he not?  That was inspiring.  Much as he was inspired by that warrior Joel Embid.  Great duel in the sun between Harden and Jimmy Butler.  The thought of how much better James Harden will be with a summer of conditioning and the opportunity to deepen his bond with Embid.  What might our expectation be of Gentle Ben? 

PPS: RJ Barrett is our Jimmy Butler in process.  The next online motherfucker who pencils him into a trade for Donovan Mitchell, I punch right in the nose, metaphorically speaking.  I love DM, but with all due respect, FUCK DONOVAN MITCHELL.  We're going to gut our team for Donovan Mitchell?  Ge the fuck out of here.  The grass ain't always greener. 

Compare where Jimmy was in his third year with the Bulls with RJ's third year with the Knicks, then peruse his fourth year with the Bulls when he was 25. 

RJ being 21.  HELLO?

https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/barrerj01.html

Will RJ become more efficient, better off of the bounce, improve as a FT shooter considering how often he gets to the line?  Fill out his body like Butler did? 

He is on a path to do so.

So.

We want Donovan Mitchell?

Utah will want some value back. 

Donovan Mitchell
Eric Paschall

To The Knicks

Julius Randle
Evan Fournier
2022 Knicks Second Rounder
2023 Dallas First Rounder

Just a thought.

Anyone Recall When Michigan State Basketball Star Adreian Payne Befriended His #1 Fan, Little Lacey Holsworth, One Of Their Team's Biggest Boosters, An Act Of Love And Kindness Which Was Enormously Moving To Me, As The Little Girl Had Terminal Cancer And Succumbed At Only Eight Years Old. 



Payne Has Been The Victim Of Gun Violence At The Age Of 31.  My God.

I do not mind that.

LA does not have the picks to make me include Taj for a player we would only cut. No to Rusty.

My Wall offer still stands.

Evan would check threes, not twos in Houston and he would help them spread the floor for about twenty minutes. If Houston does not see value in Noel or Walker they can buy them out just as we will do if we cannot find a trade partner before the season.

We do that in an instant, I think.

But I don't think that will get it done.

I agree with this. (though we might both be wrong)

So much is context, chemistry, accident. Some organizations thrive in developing talent. Some don't. But we just compare guys one to the other, as if the stats determine all.

For instance, how would J. Poole have fared under the Knicks/Thibs?

With Quickley's 2021-22 minutes?

Pretty well, I'd guess.

I'm with you kidd. Hate it, I much prefer Black on White gun action.
My fave? When Black professionals take out Crazy Ass White Crackers with a single shot, that's the sweet, sweet stuff.

Nice, Les.

I do not think kid is enough of a patriot to catch the sentiment.

He is the type of nut job to fetishize that kind of terrorist and encourage imitators.

Kid is no fan of law enforcement, probably because his whole way of life rests on a foundation of kidnapping and forced labor.
