We need Mitch and Hartenstein. You need depth.

What we do have is a glut of guards.

I would see if Washington would give up Deni Avdija for IQ and Sims. He is miscast as a point forward but he is a focused dirty work guy who does the connective things at a reasonable forward size. He also signed his extension and it is for a bunch less than Quickley will be getting

Mitch Hartenstein
Randle Jefferies
Avdija Hart Fournier Windler
Barrett Donte
Brunson McBride Archi

We have a team defensive concept that is good enough on most nights, but as we've seen with the 0-5 record vs the Celtics and Bucks, it's not good enough to beat the top teams UNLESS we execute at our 95th percentile AND get a little lucky to boot.

With the benefit of hindsight, it would've been better not to blow out Charlotte, so we'd have had two lesser opponents.  But on the other hand, we've had our eyes opened and so has Leon that this team is a nice team and tries hard, but is ultimately lacking a couple more pieces to truly compete.

I like this team, but at some point there will need to be some changes.

Yeah, 100% agree.

This was right before the season and it's right now.

An 8-10 week window for our starting center's return.

Meanwhile, IQ has some knee sorenes and is questionable for tonight.

We now return to the next editions of Trader Vic.

PS: I particularly enjoyed Kam floating the notion of trading Brunson.  That was inspired.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger.

We've got a good, scrappy, hard-working squad. They will win a good chunk of games.

But they've got a ceiling...and it's just not as high as the Bucks or the Celtics (to name just two).

This doesn't mean anyone knows exactly what the Knicks should do next. But it does mean that we should know how far we go...if we more or less do nothing at all.

Our hands would seem to be tied.

What if any significant options present themselves?

NONE

It is early days yet. There will be at least two or three fire sales it looks like based on the start of the season.

Good win tonight against one of the prime suspects who we put one step closer to a shakeup.

It seems that the shots going to SG and C in the starting lineup may have more to do with system than personnel.

Got one we were supposed to get and that we needed. Eight of the next ten are on the road

Yeah, stuff's gonna shake up for sure. Hopefully we'll act appropriately when it does, or stand put if inappropriate.

Good stuff last night, dosage correct for Julius, very promising going forward, and so nice to see Hart back in post-trade mode. Not surprised the season assist high came with Allonzo Trier II Immanuel Quickley out!

Funny but hardly fair

Goodbye Dylan Windler. Hello again Taj Gibson.

A very minor tweak, but I think it helps.

[chipstern]

Knicks ink Taj Gibson to one year contract.

A player-coach who gives us coverage at the 4&5 spots.

High character cat.

IQ as Trier?

Been too busy to watch the games this year, Lester?

And for what it's worth, I've never seen him have a bad game.

Fucking solid.

Well, we did not give up. On to the next
