Toronto does not know if it is a buyer or a seller yet. This is probably all smoke and no fire as usual.

That is better than a trade in which we are fleeced.

Word

Again

I'm fine with standing pat and keeping our eyes on the playoffs

Summer is the time for deals, free agents and draft picks

[chipstern]

Have you looked at standings, league wise.

Number of teams like the Knicks hovering just above or just below .500% is something else.

Maybe four teams on the bottom.

Everyone else is in the hunt.

[facilitatorn]

One more go at tempting you off your perch, in service of getting our big minute guys RJ and Randle some solid if unspectacular relief that our coach would play,

Cam and Obi to Detroit for Sadiq Bey and our good friend Nerlins Noel.

Obi probably has more upside than Bey especially paired with Cade and Ivey and Duren and definitely a better vibe for the crowds. Cam might still be something. He can at least push Kevin Knox.

We are trading 10-15 minutes a night for 14-5 of decent fundamental play with steady focus in a big but not too athletic guy who knows the business.

Mitch Hartenstein
Randle Bey
RJ
Grimes Quickley
Brunson McBride

That becomes your nine man rotation and your eight probably takes out McBride. Bey eats up all the minutes behind RJ and Randle. Maybe they give up some and see 32 or 33 instead of their load now and that leaves 25-30 minutes for Bey as a stretch four power 3, things he does reasonably well and in a much more Thibsy way than Obi or Cam.

[facilitatorn]

I would give the lesser of ours or the Dallas pick plus the Washington pick to make it Burks and Bey instead of Nerlins and Bey. It would help Detroit in the Wemby hunt and make us a very tough out.

[chipstern]

I doubt Detroit is seriously shopping Bey.

I am not inclined to make trades for role players.  And I like Bey

Again, chemistry.

Obi makes a winning contribution in his paltry 12-15 minutes a night, and enjoys significant chemistry with IQ.

I like Bey.  I like Burks.

Pointless shuffling irrespective of likelihood Detroit would sunder its own chemistry.

The trading deadline cannot come a moment too soon.

SUMMERTIME, WHEN THE DEALING IS EASY...

PS: The latest "rumor" has us exploring Toppin, Fournier and draft capital for Utah's Beasley and Vanderbilt.

I like Obi. For his sake, I hope he gets traded. He needs a chance to play, really play....and see what happens.

As long as this is Thibs team, he'll have a modest and constricted role.

Feel similarly toward Rose. Less concerned with what we get, then freeing him to use his talents while he still can.

[facilitatorn]

 The clippers are gonna come in pissed. This could be bad.

[chipstern]

Terrible shooting.
Worse D

George and Leonard eating him alive

And Thibs keeps him in all of OT, after playing more minutes than anyone else. I am writing this with 1:06 left, knowing there is no change coming.

[facilitatorn]

Our other wing did foul out.

[facilitatorn]

Btw, against teams like the Clips, foul when up three at the end of regulation. Otherwise they are built to hit those shots.

[carlos123]

Our other wing did foul out.

RJ should have been replaced with IQ at the beginning of OT, if not way before during the 4th. Grimes did not foul out until more than half through OT, partly because he had to cover for RJ.

Once Grimes was out, and given that our great coach would never give anybody else a minute outside of his irreplaceable nine, he could have played Obi an extra couple of minutes. It was clear it was not RJs day to play.

A less stubborn MF would have given a few minutes to Cam. But your favorite coach (and Chips) keeps finding new ways to lose, even when Brunson has a monster game.

First tweet I see on the Kyrie trade:

Now Kyrie can get to the bottom of the JFK assassination too in his free time.
