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/butleji01.htmlhttps://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/barrerj01.htmlWill 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.
