They used to live stream an inter-squad scrimmage before the preseason games started. I miss that.

I actually think Kenny is smarter than TNT lets on. He sometimes does some really good stuff on the fly on the big screen at halftime. But he should just stick to the TV gig. Him and the crew are so great and entertaining.

We knew this was going to happen. Payton is a better offensive player than Frank currently and he's a bigger guard for defensive purposes than DSJ. He's also playing for his next NBA contract so he is going to try and show out. Fiz loved Mudiay....I don't trust fiz to make any proper decisions to be honest after last year and his love for that bum.

You do realize that 3 out of the 4 top picks this draft were selected by teams that won more than 30 games the previous season? Oh, wait..... apparently you don't. The new flattened odds changed everything.

Edit: I see after I replied that a few others mentioned this to you.



Good point.

Before everyone gets too 'must happen' about an emergence in Frank and Denny's 3rd season let me remind people that they are only 21 and Olapido didn't 'breakout' until he was 25 in his 5th season and on his 3rd team....so........chillax.

That's the concern.

The Knicks are not going to wait that long. Just like Orlando didn't.

Gotta say, KP handled that one like a pro. Just keeping it real. Plus, RJ will look like a smacked ass if KP sends one of his shots into the 10th row. That's why you need to keep your damn mouth shut when you're a rookie. What RJ said is locker room bulletin board stuff. The Mavs will make sure there's a lot of talk about this before we play them just to put a lot of pressure on RJ. They'll be all over RJ. Bet on it. Especially, with Carlisle as coach. :lol: He's "Old School."


We’ll never really know what happened here and why he wanted out (or if he wanted out) but it’s hard to hate the guy by the way he speaks and carries himself. I know it’s not popular round these parts but I don’t hate the kid.


I guess aside from the rape and racism, he’d be a swell guy to have a beer with.

I dunno, the last time he was drinking in Latvia, there was trouble....

Depending on what the role is of those two different players and how the rest of the team develops individually as players and as a team the Knicks might be more patient but i understand your point.

I am not going to waste four or five more seasons on a player that shows no improvement.

Or maybe Frank can use this as motivation and step his game up lol. Young Kobe even got benched for Eddie Jones

Eddie Jones was a 3x All-Star and All-NBA'er. I don't think anyone would disagree if we had a player like that in front of our youth :lol:

There's a wide margin between 'breaking out' and 'no improvement', there is possibility they show improvement while not breaking out.

True, Junior is at a production point where if he develops much more it will be hard to not consider him as breaking out while Frank has way more development room to grow before he'd be considered the same way.

Frank's development potential is completely different than DSJ who has 'star' as his possible upside but Frank is more in the super glue guy mold that might not be as notable from a 'star' like standpoint.

I'm super excited about having Taj around to mentor Mitch. Exactly the type of guy you want rubbing off on MItch. Teaching him little tricks on D especially with his hands which we know Mitch struggles with and coming up under Thibs you know Taj knows how to communicate and yell on D :lol:

Randle and Taj super impressed early on. I agree he has a lot more skill but doesn’t show much of it Bc he doesn’t wanna look like he’s doing too much. Has a sick touch and finesse finishes around the rim and handle.
