If Precious does not get it done up front, I think getting another look there should be more of a priority than IQ replacement. No disrespect to Taj.

Ainge likes picks. People talk about Kelly as a target, and he would definitely elevate and expand our tool set. The Jazz also have numerous long players on the bench who get no burn. A protected pick or two from our stash plus Malachi or Archidiacino for Luka Samanic or Omer Yurtseven would be a smaller, simpler play in that direction.

Better yet, Precious could find his beast mode and we could be set.

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.

You're way too hard on Bones Hyland, even if Kidd did have a crush on the guy.

He's no punk. And he plays exuberantly in the mode of Maxey and IQ. He's got real value and someone is gonna grab him at a discount rate.

In any case, we can all agree that's not an essential move for the Knicks right now.

Nice win tonight. OG lets us play base D which leaves Jules and JB with something in the tank for fourth quarters. Still some wrinkles but there is hope we might get there.

Philly on Friday is a big test.

Hyland sucks

By the way.  Kiid was a bigtime DiVincenzo enthusiast, so credits where credits are due.

Geez, when did you become an online blowhard?

How many times have you actually watched the guy play?

Whatever. I knew almost nothing about DiVincenzo, so everything about him...especially his scrappiness...has been a nice revelation.

Julius is off and we win going away. Sweeeet!

Deuce the turning point. So great to see Grimes coming back to form; looks like he's gonna get his chances.

Meanwhile, the Hart+Heart Machine just doing their thing.

Oh we passed. Let us not give it back against the Wizards.

We may not need to spend 30 mil and three draft picks on some dude to generate bench scoring.

Hartenstein might could do prime Noah things. Over the last two games combined he certainly did.

I am good paying Hartenstein Mitch money to keep him around past this year. He may crack 20 which I am ok with as well.

I am more than good with the stars we got. Let us keep getting better and winning games.

We nicely handled the Wiz and as a reward get to sit by ourselves in 4th for a minute, a whisker above the 5-8 fray.

We should be in no hurry to shake things up going forward. We have very nice makings of a very nice team.

MEANWHILE, a shout out to all the RJ Haters I the blogosphere   Dropped 37 in an annihilation of the Warriors, on 12-20, 5-8 from trey and zero turnovers.

Loving OG, a better fit for our Knicks, but as the main sled dog in Toronto, RJ should flourish.  Happy for him.

Very much a win-win.

I wonder if this leads Toronto to pull Siakam from the market

Siakim has declared he will not sign an extension for anyone.

Meanwhile, do the Knicks really want to pursue a DEAL?

Asking for a blowhard

PS: Yet another DNP for one Bones Hyland.
