There's a Center glut while teams are using a C less.

Stan John always looks good to me.
DET bench outbenching ours.

So we have to keep Kanter?

At what price are you paying to keep Enes next season?

I’d open with an offer of 10 mil a year for 5.

Way too high.  Who are we bidding against?

The rest of the league.

10 may be too high, but 4 is way too low.

So split the difference and say Enes is gonna get 7.   

1. Do we have 7 for Enes? 
2. Say we strike out on the big names... will he wait until we exhaust all the other options?
3. Will he sign without guarantee of starting?
4. Will he want to "feel wanted" and accept a lesser offer from another team who promises more winning (see O'Quinn, Kyle)?

Nobody is targeting Enes with their FA dollars.  He might get a Mid Level deal.

ZERO

if it means not getting a shot at Durant or Kawhi.

we do we need  to get Durant?  36 million?  gotta come from somewhere.

we are now 7-15 a solid 5th.

major disappointments lately include our recent draft picks Knox, Robinson (foul prone) and  Frank.

I'm in a knick fan believe it or not so rooting to lose changes nothing. i want a top pick.  in fact i want the highest pick possible  and meaningless wins like the last 3 do nothing for me.

at least Dotson got some burn tonight and showed what he can do.

yet I read he is on the block for a second round pick.  brilliant.

3 Knix fouled out -- all in under 20 mins.

Knix need to get Knox going.
Involve him more.
I'd start him over Zonja.
Maybe with the starters he'd look better.
Instead of playing with 1-on-1 types, Trier* and Burke.
* Trier with 7 assists tonight and he has definitely been trying to look for teammates the past few weeks.
And it's not like Zonja is doing anything.

24 pts 10 rbs 7 ast

Love this dude already, and went to the line 11 times + basically kept us in the game, but didn't take away from others either.

Sorry to add to the Frank pile on, but been higher on Trier upon my early observations since summer league, when compared to the same amount with our Frenchman.

Hilariously ironic if he ends up being our future point 1 year after masses of Knick fans go bananas with their love/hate for Frank.

Meanwhile Frank can still become our Swiss Army Knife player, but seems to have more of a way to go.

Trier seems to be getting better game to game, is more unselfish than the "Iso-Zo" label makes him sound, and can already play 2 ways more so than other exciting guards I've heard him compared to.

I think Allonzo can play point.  You have to let him try Coach.  You've given everyone else a chance.

Philly last played Sunday in Brooklyn, beating them on a Butler buzzer beater.
We play them at Philly tomorrow, coming off this desultory performance

Seems like you can open your app and bet on another L.

We are a young team and Detroit is more mature. We had certain guys who were ready to hold their own in this game which kept us more or less in contact.

Gotta do something about Trier by December 8 or send him down till it’s sorted out.

He might could get benefit from the Mike Miller pg clinic for a week or two while FA’s become tradeable.

Knox and Mitch are getting weight room motivation. I’m glad that Knox got to try for a good few minutes against Blake.

Free Dot. Mario got his look. He can pick up his game from the pine.

Had calls gone the other way on Trier and Vonleh (swat v goal tend & offensive foul v putback), it would have been a down to the wire game despite extreme ugliness on our part.

He should go down to Westchester for a week so that at the very least we don't have to make a decision until Dec 15th when players who signed contracts in the offseason are eligible to be traded.

More fouls from Dot and Lee should help defending prime wings, though they’re both undersized.

We need to definitely free Dot against Philly. How will our energy be on the back of a back to back?

Only Kanter (36), THjr (31) , and Trier (31) played more than 23 minutes vs Detroit.

So the "Top Guns" (Clyde voice) may be a little winded.  But they should be young enough to handle it.

Foul trouble kept the rest of the team pretty fresh.

We could use a big game from Vonleh (19) and Burke (15).

Missed the game, but Mudiay really had one of the most striking turn arounds I can recall of a player over the last few games. Maybe Lin is the only one that stands out more, as it was also over a longer stretch.

No one with any semblance of sanity expected him to contribute much this season and I feel like a week or so ago was expected to be a likely candidate to be cut so Trier can stay on the roster.
