Kemba( our future signing) is coming in.

Kemba
Hardaway
Knox
Kanter
KP

good for a run at 7th or 8th.

EK has to take less or he is out.

call me optimistic.

No Vonleh?

I'd pay Noah before Enes.

Can't imagine there's even much debate, here. Enes does some things very well but Vonleh would fit just about any team configuration we have next year. Keeping Kanter only makes sense if one of Mitch or KP is traded AND we surround him with a bunch of defenders. Let Kanter take his double doubles elsewhere (although I'll cheer him on, cause I like him, but he's not a good fit here).

Big one on the schedule wednesday night in the land of Cleve.  Winner gets to keep playing and a set of steak knives.  Second place is you're fired.

A team trying to secure the #1 draft pick next year will offer Enes more than we should be willing to pony up.

Any chance the Trier hamstring issue is a means to stop the clock onhis NBA time till FA signings become tradable?

Frank had a pretty run in the second half. His D tonight was terrible.

Knox took a hell of a lot of shots.

I think we are nearing the end of the Mario starting experiment.

We need to find a unit that can play D, start them, and build out the bench from there.

We were terribly overmatched in terms of experience and cohesion. That will happen a lot this year.

Missed the game.
Strange box.
Knix shoot 50% overall and from 3 and lose by 12.
Just 7 FTA's.  CHA made 13 23
Vonleh with 9 assists.
Knox with 25 FG's, 26 Pts & 15 boards.  in 41 mins.
Think they said he was the youngest ever to have a 25 & 10 game.
Franc 7-11 FG but fouled out.
Btw, Mud finished with a -20.

Seems like an interesting, unusual game . . .

Good to see Tim Frazier has been set free.  I quite like the guy, but ops have been few for him the past couple years.  Last 7 games, he averaged 8 assists and 9 points and 4 boards in 30 mins. 
The guy is feisty and good on the PnR.  Frees up Jrue to play his combo guard game, much like Rondo did last year.

Yeah.  Mudiay was with that group that was -16 to start the third quarter.  And never returned.

 Knox should never have been out there at that time.  He is clueless re: team defense

Someone please tell Calipari.

Might be too slight to play in the playoffs, mind you. Like Trey Burke.

Some types of players are good regular season contributors, but not usable in the playoffs (Kanter, Valunciunas).

Kanter only got 18 minutes last night.  Mitchell got 19. 
Vonleh played 30 minutes.  That's 67 C/PF minutes out of 96.
The 29 other "BIG" minutes went to the likes of Kevin Knox.


If KK becomes our small ball 4 (Shawn Marion esque)...  Then Mitchell and Noah are our bench bigs.


There won't even be time for a Kanter.

I think Knox will have a tough time covering some 4s this season. Maybe next as well? But he's 19, he'll fill out.

KP is going to be mostly a 5. Mitch a full time 5, of a different sort. There will be no minutes for Kanter, and I don't think there are many people who see otherwise. A couple on this forum, sure, but doubtful any at MSG.

I am very curious to see where he ends up. He works very hard, he's an automatic double double, he can't be played in the playoffs because he joined the league 10 years too late (otherwise, he would have been at least Al Jefferson). What's that worth today? Will any upper echelon teams even look at him? Or is he destined to put up numbers for bad teams?

Without putting numbers to it, Knicks seek TWO frontcourt starters for next season.

Fortunately the placeholders, Kanter and Mario, both expire this year. Unfortunately, Vonleh, the only real candidate in our current set expires as well. He will be more expensive this time around.

KP, Mitch, and Knox are candidates depending on how they finish the season and progress over the summer.

You know the frontcourt includes the THREE, right?
