It's just retrograde with RJ.

Knicks have to move on this summer.

PuhLEESE

Hardly retrograde.

Has improved every year.

In a slump.  Much work to do.on D and that near field jumper.

6th Man Second Unit Beckons

Chip, I'm not being snarky.

I don't see it at all.

He got an extension over 100 million dollars. That's a wild amount of wealth.

And in return? I see no signs of improvements on either end of the floor. And his defense, weirdly, seems to be getting worse.

This is a real issue, even if....

"He's only 22."

[lesterluv]

He is only 22.

But he's already had as many NBA minutes as Cam Reddish & Kevin Knox combined.

It is definitely time to show.

His finish near the rim is better (though just steps up from awful) and he can use both hands now. His decision making and three point shooting are unchanged. His defense is markedly worse. Fournier is genuinely a better all around defender...not to mention New Guy, who will be echelons above.

Last time we were this down on him RJ woke up and went on a real tear. We need him to do that again and show consistency going forward.

Otherwise he tops out as a THjr kind of player - a guy you can use, even start if you have to, but don't really want to, and whom the use of signifies you are sorely lacking the real deal.

We've invested a whole lot in him, we need him at a higher level whether he plays a role in us winning or we want to move him as part of the package for the Anunoby, DM or Dame.

This.

I'm still pulling for RJ.

But at this point, there's nothing he doesn't seem to do anything extremely well.

He's a good player in the NBA. Sure. But more than that? When the Knicks start consistently beating top teams, grit, hustle, intensity and maybe some swagger will probably be a strong feature. I don't see him as part of that.

[elephant]

Ah, the Indian Confucius!

[kiidcarter8]

You know what I am saying Elephant.  No.  RJ at his current stature isn't earning 30 mil but all winning teams need blocks like him.

[elephant]

Yeah, I hear you.

So, who would drop out of Thibs' rotation to accomodate Hart?

McBride.

Three assists so far. 

Oh, DOCTOR.

I believe Ainge got, what, four #1s from the Wolves in 23-25-27-29. 

Most of the Wolves "players" are gone. 

But rookie center Walker Kessler, the Wolves 2022 #22 pick, remains. 

Impressive.
