Excuse me, EXCUUUUUUSE ME, Jorts! But the time to get to work was the day after we drafted you. Perhaps he misspoke. :x

I dont get what your doing here. Are you going to update this topic whenever there is new rookie news? If so that would be pretty tight.

I agree there is definitely something different from Jorts tweet and Shumps.

If it doesn't happen spontaneously by other posters, which typically is the case, I will post the links to the media reports on how our rookies are doing. I'm not much of a twitter follower so maybe others will pick up that slack on that front. The welcome thread for Shump is about to hit 100 pages and the rooks have hit the NYC so thought it would be a good idea for all the progress commentary to be in one thread.

I'm hoping it was just a lazy word choice not a lazy work ethic he was displaying there.

I think they are reading too much into that statement. I took it to mean, time to get to work as a team.

Umm... Do you often get to work when the business is closed and you're in a different state?

Nothing in that tweet says that he's been lazy, getting fat since we drafted him. You're actually WISHING that he had spoken a tired cliche about working hard.

Umm.. ..Shumpert was working hard all summer, with the business closed, AND being in another state. Why shouldn't it apply to Jorts?? Especially since he's a 2nd round pick, WITHOUT a guaranteed spot!

This is good to hear.

Wasn't Shumpy working out with Amar'e in Florida earlier? I'm not sure if I'm right here, but I remember hearing about it like a week ago or something.

I checked Jerome Jordan's twitter and he hasn't said anything about the lockout being resolved or the Knicks. I wonder if he's got an eye towards NY at all. Maybe someone who's a Knicks fan and a twitterer can tweet him about what he thinks.

His agent was quoted a few days ago saying he expects the Knicks to make an offer or he'd ask that Jordan be traded to someone who would.

Yes, that's agentspeak... I'm aware of that put out there. I was wondering what his thoughts were on it, other than the agentspeak of course.
