A total fail** with Toppin from draft day to departure.

All this talk of save your assets. From draft choices that don't convey to draft picks who you don't develop, use you assets I say, before they devalue to crap, use them to grab blue chip talent.

Ah well, at least Obi is FREE.


*** well, unless those two 2nds are part of the package Portland wants for Dame, I'd add in two or three firsts without blinking or thinking

Consider the intangibles. Knicks got the Villanova band together and hopefully they will swing.

Is there any truth to the rumor that the Knicks are shopping him around?

So long, Obi!

Traded to Indy for two 2nd round picks.

Or form a clique.

I do not love it but I did not love the lineup last year either.

At least we do not have to rediscover how much better we are when Evan does not play.

Eugene Omoruyi played in Detroit last year. He would be a good guy to pick up.

Can someone explain the Obi deal?

I've said I was happier if he plays somewhere else then languishes here. But I figured his trade would yield something of real value.

Two future second round picks? They couldn't figure out something better than that?

Lester calls the Obi era with the Knicks a "total fail."

I can only quibble with the word "total."

He is getting paid 6 mil to do a job a bunch of guys on vet minimums or just a bit more do better.

We should have passed on him in the draft. At least we did not send picks out to get rid of him as we were doing last year with folks.

We needed to open salary room for our fifth SG.

That's 12

Who are 13, 14, 15

Presumably Fournier.is dealt.

Someone on line floated the notion of Fournier to San Antonio for Doug McDermott.

Conceivably, Fournier offers some French home cooking for The Eiffel Tower.

McDermott is listed as 6'8" and is one of the premier three point shooters.

Could conceivably give coverage at the 3 & 4. 

Probably would have to sweeten the deal with some draft capital.

Then, of course, Thibs would have to open up his rotation.

The odds of that?

We have all the guards of every stripe you could ever want. We have a triumvirate of rim protecting bigs. We are thin at forward.

Dougie has gotten into and stayed in shape since he left the Knicks and this has made him a more effective player in every way. If Evan was in Dougie shape he would never have left the rotation.

I still do not think a reunion is likely.

Agree it is a long shot

McDermott has raised his game as a defender.

I never perceived Fournier to be less than professional. Or out of shape.

His problem was in impacting the game as something other than a shooter.

Leon accommodated Obi for not being petulant and airing his frustrations.

I would expect likewise regarding the team's approach to Evan.

PS: Lonnie Walker to the Nets.  Eric Gordon to Phoenix.
