I'm guessing the Pacers and the Wiz will fall.

The latter needs a healthy Porzingis all season long. Will that really happen?

I wouldn't put any wagers on it.

Wizards have talent in Porzingis and Beal and Kuzma, and some pups with upside in Avdija, Kispert, Gafford and Hachimura.  Health is certainly an issue with KP and BB.  Not sure why they let Harrell and Pope walk after purloining them from the Lakers.  They appear to have whiffed on Number One Pick Johnny Davis.

I wouldn't write off the Pacers quite yet.  Halibuurton is a stud, averaging roughly 21-4-11 a night.  And their rookie Mathurin is a motherfucker, my rookie of the year at this point, along with Ivey and Banchero.  A work in progress, but Haliburton & Mathurin are going to be a force for the next decade, on the order of Alexander & Giddey.  Love Obi, and Jalen is the man, but Leon blew it big time passing on Haliburton.

Jerkoffs Of The World Unite--Trader Vic Lunacy
« Reply #25546 on: November 23, 2022, 01:34:35 PM »

Right behind the peanut gallery bleatings of FIRE TOM THIBODEAU, there is a new wave of conjecture-phantasy island driven Trader Vic Lunacy out in the mainstream press and blogosphere. 

Anyone noticed all of this speculative horseshit about the Knicks entertaining offers for IQ?

I mean, seriously.  Get a fucking life.

We were hesitant to proffer him in a Donovan deal but we're going to offload him for a #1, as if we didn't have enough draft picks, and few enough roster spots? 

There is no reason to think IQ cannnot evolve into as effective a player as his fellow Kentucky homie Tyrese Maxey, with whom he shares certain physical and stylistic attributes.   

Seriously.  IQ has significantly upped his defense and rebounding; is improving as a facilitator; his decision making has improved, forcing the issue less.  And of late he is dialing in his three.  So now, in anticipation of an extension coming down the road, let's trade him?

A FUCKING Circle Jerk Of Smell Their Own Farts And Declare Them French Perfume MORONS. 

I think it is far more likely the reason Fournier is buried on the pine is because the Knicks want to keep him oven fresh for a trade come December 15. 

Someone restrain Facil, who I am sure is already plotting Fournier for Josh Richardson or Fournier for Patrick Beverley, both commendable players, with expiring deals, but which would not serve to relieve our backcourt glut. 

I am not sure who, if anyone, has salary cap space sufficient to absorb Fournier into their roster. 

Lakers would love him, but have nothing to offer us.  A Westbrook scenario is ridiculous. 

Would Miami think of a straigh up deal for Duncan Robinson, to get out from under his big contract.  Would we want him and said contract, through 2025-26, when all of his stats, particulary the treys, are trending downwards?  And he would be just as redundant as Fournier is behind RJ, Reddish, Grimes and IQ? 

NO.

So no Facil Genius Trades in the offing. 

Still, teams such as San Antonio and Indiana have cap space. 

And based on events of the past two offseason, we apparently still enjoy congenial trading partner relations with the likes of Charlotte and OKC and Detroit. 

What would work best for the Knicks, would be to attach some draft capital, a couple of #2 picks and one of our protected future #1 picks to Fournier in a Kemba Walker-styled, please, take this motherfucker off of our hands kind of deal.  Perhaps some kind of three-four team doozy were Fournier gets re-routed to a team that could use him, like the Lakers or Clippers. 

Those protected #1 picks are ideal for such horse trading.  We don't really need more wings coming back to muddy the water.  We need to find Evan a happy home, and open up playing time for Cam, Quentin and IQ.

Hey, maybe the Knicks can trade Fournier for Alec Burks?

Actually it's a moot point.

Having already traded them.

Cannot trade for them one way or another until next season. 

Evan Fournier [NYK]
Josh Richardson [SAS]

Plus Let's Say [TWO] #2 picks + One Protected #1. 

Worth keeping.  More rounded game than Evan. 

Still, we'd be trading for him to write off his expiring contract next summer.

If the Spurs are really tanking, they would do it.

In way too early draft stuff, I like Watson on the Zags.

Ouch. Would have liked to win that one. We are getting a little predictable offensively.

Truly awful.

And RJ was utterly inefficient.

So many shots

Is forcing the action

Not letting the game come to him

How many shots?

19

22?
