The Knicks already made a blueprint for Pelinka and the Lakers. In most ways, Brunson is a mini Luka. Now all Pelinka needs to do is send away Reaves, LBJ, Hachimura and Hayes. Find himself a Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby to flank Luka. And convince a Karl Anthony Towns type to sign with LA after all of that. All before Luka turns 30.

By then Cooper Flagg will still only be about 24 years old .

Nellie has always had a love for PG’s. So it’s not surprising he would say that. He said the same thing about the Mavs when they traded Jason Kidd about a month before they hired him to run their team.

So they will fire Harrison and hire Nelson? Yes please.

Nope, Nellie is opposite of Nico when it some offense and defense. At least he was when he coached the Mavs. He forbid defense because it just slowed the game down. I’ve actually seen him bench guys for playing defense.
