If you are talking about Mitch Robinson, he is cleared for contact. I would hope we soldier on without Mitch and OG for a few games so they can get steadier in their recoveries. Hopefully Randle is not too far behind.

In the meantime we should do out best with the healthy guys available and hope for positive results.

Against the Nuggets in Denver, NN is just simply realistic.

Length, energy, cohesion, home crowd and thin air. The deck is stacked against us. Manage minutes. Give the seldoms and situationals spin.

Especially because he won rings with Wennington and Longley, poster boys in their own right for the  red flags on Joker.

I think we were both right.

We were so good when we were healthier in January. Hope we get to see something like it again.

Vintage Thibs minutes management and he has led us to another winning season. I am going to float on this win all weekend.

Leave it to Knicks fans to wet their fucking pants and find things to go bonkers on in the midst of a strong push for playoff seeding.  I don't know how this hysterical WE CAN'T KEEP/AFFORD BOTH Mitchell & Isaiah narrative came from?  JEEZE LOUIZE.  Does anyone seriously believe that James Dolan, who has burned through enough money to roast a wet elephant over the past 20 years [a combined what, 130 million alone on asswipes such as Phil Jackson and the earthly remains of Joakim Noah] is going to tell Leon, "No, we cannot pay the Luxury Tax."  GET FUCKING REAL.  MSG as a corporate entity is awash in cash.  Dolan wants championship banners, which will serve only to make Garden stock even more valuable, and he has never been shy about spending money.  Leon has been very Very VERY Prudent about cap space and salaries and squirrelling away draft capital...we could potentially have two #1 picks a year through 2027.  The Nets are paying the ghost of Ben Simmons $40 million in 2024-25 and gave up mucho draft capital for James Haden [got some back for Durant, but not as choice as the lowly Nyets lottery #1s which will convey to the Rockets].  HELLO.  Julius and Jalen have player options for $32 and $24 million in 2025-2026.  OG has a $19 million player option for 2024-25.  Deuce is locked up for $13 million through 2027, and Mitchell is due $14 & $13 million through 2026.  Donte is due $36 million through 2027.  Josh is due roughly $18, 19.5, 21 through 2027 [team option for $22 million in 2027-28].  Burks is on the final year of a 10.4 million deal, and Bojan's $19 million for 2024-2025 is only guaranteed after a certain date.  OG's agent is Leon's son...he won't come cheap, but what if he picked up his 2024-25 option like Josh did last summer?  HELLO!  Hartenstein has legitimately won the starting job and become a franchise player in NY...why the fuck wouldn't he want to stay?  Mitchell ain't stupid enough to rock THAT Boat.  Last summer, Leon made a handshake deal with Josh to pick up his player option for 2023-24, allowing the Knicks to use their full MCE on Donte.  AGAIN, the idea that Leon & Company have not fully thought out how to retain ALL OF OUR PRIZED ASSETS, players who have created a winning chemistry and spiritual bond, while positioning themselves for opportunities next summer, is just INSANE.

Getting off of Bojan gives us room to pay IH and Precious what they are worth while maxing out OG. If we do that and actually use our draft picks to get players from the draft, I will be pleased with this coming offseason.

Hartenstein Robinson
Randle Precious
OG Hart
Donte
Brunson McBride

This would give us a pretty solid core to start with.

Detroit is playing better since they reconfigured. Duren is a force to contend with.

Yup

Part of the horse trading that encouraged Pistons to take Walker, Noel and Burks' salaries off our hands, creating room for Brunson & IH signings, was to acquire Duren on  behalf of Detroit.

Sims?

I suspect that the Bogdonavich contract and our draft picks will be in play as some sort of package.

I forgot we have a player option on Sims. We should pick it up. It is good value. Count him in.

No Duren tonight. We rolled. Donte with 11 made 3s. Hart with another triple double. Nice.
