how about this chip.  a Nagel fantasy. that might become a reality.

first we must agree that KD is leaving GS  ( i also think Klay is going to LA) to go to NY to play with the Unicorn. KD of course gave him that nickname.

so they who do we have.

Durant
KP
Hardaway.
Robinson

I agree with you about Trey.  i would start him with this group

3 guys who can block shots.  4 guys who can score and very, very big.  KD would own the Garden with KP.

the bench?

knox
Frank
Vonleh
Dotson
Trier
our #1 pick in 2019  likely top 5

we need to try to buy out or trade Lee / thomas.  However if lee could fit in the cap he could help off the bench.

would that make you happy?  i would be very happy.

I hope you're right, bro.

I don't know how much more of these types of seasons leading to no fruit I can take as a fan (this one at least feels more worthwhile). Yes, we could wait another season if we can't get any of these top players, and the "new" approach we finally started following like the rest of the NBA has just started, so I'm not completely abandoning ship.

I've already taken some steps back, watch more soccer than b-ball which is crazy talk for me 5-10 years ago. Did far worse to baseball which I don't even follow.

Still love basketball but this team has been tough on us all. I think we have the most dedicated fanbase in the NBA, and we're all old or really old compared to a young man's sport like basketball because we can't attract anyone but loyal naive young NYers, and the old ones who still think the Nets belong in Jersey or Long Island. It ain't golf.

Heard Ho Beck on Knicks Film School seem to think as some fans fear that we may never reach a promised land as long as Dolan owns the team. That we may be fooled by the "changes in culture", and the word and culture may still be out there that doubts the lure of the Knicks because of the management, not the city.

That all being said, enjoying the games far more this season.

Yet he still probably has no use to us after this season, most likely, as you know.

Was on the bench during the stretch though as Fiz went with all guards and Vonleh.

Kanter value

Best case scenario trade: Kanter and Mudiay  ($23mil in expiring salary)  for Bradley Beal or John Wall.

I assumed if WASH were to do any salary dump involving Wall/Beal that they'd want to dump Mahinmi (another year @ $15M) as well.  So a Kanter<->Mahinmi swap to save them money as part of a Beal/Wall trade.

Wiz managed a 39 Pt 4Q to beat the Clips.
Wiz were down 19 @ Home after 1Q, and if they quit or even just lost, things could have gotten ugly.  Scrapping out a home win, they at eats showed fight and some pride.

I was flipping to their game during Kick timeouts.
Wiz now 6-11

And their next 5 are tough:
Sat Nov 24  @Toronto 
Sun Nov 25  vs New Orleans 

Tue  Nov 27 vs Houston
Thu  Nov 29 @ New Orleans 
Sat  Dec 1   @ Philadelphia

Then 4 weak sisters (but 3 of them Road games):
Sun  Dec 2  vs Brooklyn   
Tue  Dec 4  @New York
Thu  Dec 6  @Atlanta
Sun  Dec 9  @Cleveland

 Re:  the draft, at #6-8 pick

Looking now at  more seasoned players - both SF -Hachimura and Wilkes, both playing out West

If a younger guy, maybe Indiana SG Langford or Frank's former teammate Doumboya.

Bol Bol should be somewhere in the picture.

Kanter starting, along with Zonja, Mud & Tim.
Vonleh the only defender out there to open the game.
Interesting.

My guess is we get creamed early.

Heh....

Offense, baby.

Hachimura has looked like a bubble-first round player so far, not a mid-lottery type. His hoops IQ is just so low. Let's see if he sorts things out, but I doubt the Knicks would consider him for too seriously.

Porter Jr is the kid to watch in that draft area, although he could get hot and put pressure on Reddish and Little and join that second tier in the 3-5 range, just ahead of where you are talking about. Maybe Langford or Grimes or Keldon Johnson will get looks, but not sure any of those guys are the right fit unless THJr gets moved unexpectedly.

Watch Jalen McDaniels for a potential draft riser - he's a Jonathan Isaac type, he'd fit well on the team, although he'd also be a project. Simi Shittu another lottery-worthy project, but he may want another year in school unless he recovers from his ACL quicker than expected.

seriously?

While Beal is a better version of Hardaway we already have a scorer at the 2 and have you actually looked at Wall's deal?  40 million per over the next 4 years.

please.

you are giving up any chance at KD or Kawhi with this deal.  Wall just told his coach to fuck off.  perfect choice.
