He’s the worst third option in the league, including whoever you consider the Pistons, Spurs, Wiz third options to be, because at least those guys are not getting like $28M per season.

This game may never end.

One of my fave NBA complaining tropes is the guy who wants to take a quick foul, gets called for it and still complains to the ref.

I'm happy for them. Sans early 2000s pistons and Red Wings (whenever the f they were good) the city of Detroit has been through enough.

Now I need to bet on when the Pistons winning streak ends.

Why would they be worrying about Miami? Beyond that, OG is a great defender against basically any matchup.

Miami is the defending Eastern Conference Champion

No one is considering the Heat when building their team.

I agree with you about that, but what I was saying was that the strongest rationale for this move would be to move ahead of the defending Eastern Conference champions

I was certain that would be something that would translate, but his terrible jumper has killed his game. He had such a beautiful shot in college. He could be a multiple All-Star if he could find his shot because his feel for the game is excellent.

Man I would've taken Mobley 100 times out of 100.

And that doesn't look great either

They both need coaching though

I get that. It's just weird to care about Miami when the top teams in the East have changed so much. They obviously aren't making moves to compete with the team that is 4th in the East. No one is making moves to deal with Miami when teams like the Celtics, Bucks, and 76ers exist.

You gotta be trolling.

Miami is not the best team in the East or the 2nd best team in the East or even the 3rd best team in the East just because they made the Finals last season.

I don't believe this for a second.

Glad I'm not the only one. What a crock of a report that was.

Lowe was the one reporting it. He’s no hack. Guess we’ll never know.

Black Barbershop with the game of his life.

I’m with you. Don’t think Barrett will ever be much of a needle mover in the NBA. He might be valuable as a glue guy type in a few years from now when he could be signed on a reasonable deal.
Quickley is OK but looks more like a 6th man type long term.
OG is the best player in this deal and will fit the Knicks well. Doesn’t put them above Miami/Bucks/Celts/6ers but Knicks are def a better team now.
