A new look is on the horizon. Donte is making a good case for picking up some offensive production.

We have real forwards beyond Julius.

I am excited to see how it all looks on the floor.

Peace and prosperity to you all in the new year

Knick On Wood

So Far

SO GOOD

OG looking....just right.

Randle keeps getting better. Motherfucker has no fear.

Alas Brunson is in a funk shooting-wise and almost took us down. Last 4 games...27 for 79!

[facilitatorn]

Good Defense can always take away something. Brunson did have an uncharacteristically high number of assists.

OG looks just right. I hope he can keep it up.

Our bench needs to adjust. So far Hart and Grimes have a bit of a groove.

We also get to see how our castoffs look in their new home this evening.

Very good win to start the year

At this point I think both teams can feel like they have won the trade.

Rose fulfilling his Facil Function to a T

Signing Donte for 12 x 4

A trade with Toronto that benefits both teams.

OG and Donte not just hitting threes, but a new look emphasis on cutters and motion from our two newest defensive firebrands.

I hope Thibs and Taj have resolved to help Precious reach his potential. We need him to be high impact if we want to make noise and a deep run.

Donte's play takes the sting out of losing IQ and he's a lot cheaper as IQ is seeking twice the salary.

OG is a breath of old Knicks defensive flavor.   He's like an X-man or Sprewell/Anthony Mason hybrid.

I'm interested in how the minutes shake out, but on paper i'd guess;

iHart 36 min / Precious 12 min
Randle 36 min / OG 12 min   
OG 24 min / Hart 24 min
Donte 24 min / Grimes 24 min
Brunson 36 min / Deuce 12 min


This assumes Deuce can hold down the backup PG spot and Grimes bounces all the way back to form.  If Grimes plays well I wouldn't rule out him getting his starting job back if Donte struggles to defend. On the other hand if Grimes or even Deuce falters I could see Donte picking up some of that slack with more minutes.   I don't see Malachi Flynn getting much run until he can prove himself in practice to Thibs.  Precious is the wildcard guy.  He's another swiss army knife defender.  He had a tough first matchup vs Gobert but he could be deployed against multiple positions, taking the other teams primary frontcourt weapon if OG is guarding a guard on the perimeter. 

[facilitatorn]

I like Donte in with OG among the starters. It gives us two cutters, two guys who pass and move and work well in opposite corners.

I think the tinkering is going to be mainly on the bench side of the equation.

[chipstern]

Think you are right.

Not sure I see any BIG moves on the horizon.

Fournier, Grimes + draft capital for DeJounte Murray is a popular phantasy.  Not sure Leon wants to shoot his load on Murray, with other opportunities prrsenting themselves
in free agency this summer, but he would be a very good fit, with Donte and Deuce ruddering the second unit.

Some Facebook Fantasies urge us to pursue Bones Hyland, which to be mentioned in the same breath as IQ, is deeply offensive, IQ being about team, Hyland a no defense street punk only about himself. 

Elsewhere, cries for DeRozan  and Drummond, who do not seem to be on the market.  Let alone desirable.

We'll see them both tonight in any event.

PS: Rooting for Precious to find his center of gravity

[chipstern]

Just saw Malcolm Brogdon's name floated as a possible target.

And so the women cone and gi, speaking of MichelAngelo.
