The only way to save the team from not moving the core

Lillard / Rose / McBride
Fournier / Burks / vet
Barrett / Grimes / vet
Randle / Toppin / Samanic
Robinson / Gibson / Sims

Need to throw in Burks as well to make the trade valid.

Thibs is going to need to get the young boys (Grimes and McBride) in MUCH sooner. Reduce Kemba's role, bring Rose in sooner and continue with McBride. On nights when any of Fournier/RJ/Burks don't bring it offensively, let Grimes eat and the defense won't take a hit. Thibs gonna Elfrid his way through the season and we are all gonna forget games like this with every win where the team shoots well (cause lord know defense won't be winning us many games when our guards are letting dudes explore the floor).

We're used covering for poor PG defense but not bad SG/SF defense Bullocks was an important piece to our defense last season and Fournier may not be horrible but he ain't good and he ain't a positive team defender out there.

Net rating after three games:

Kemba: -9.2
Fournier: +8.0

Kemba is killing us.

I like Randle but watching the team consistently feed him over and over again even when he’s not playing well just isn’t fun to watch.

When teams don’t double Randle, team struggles..and Randle forces, when teams double he is a willing passer and gets other players involved

Yes but we were used to that last season too and made due so it can't be that is the issue. There's only one other difference to the starting 5. Fournier has good offensive impact but I think overall we can't cover for 2 bad team defenders instead of 1 like last year.

Very disappointing loss. Magic just came in and punched us right in the mouth as soon as the game started. We played too relaxed and clearly didn't take this game seriously. Magic outhustled and outworked us. This loss is on everyone. Hopefully this loss is a learning lesson that we need to get off our high horse cause we haven't accomplished anything yet.

And can we stop shooting so many threes when it's clearly not our night? You're not going to hit 24 threes every game! Can we run something else? And I don't mean a Randle iso either! Run some pick and roll! Get to the line!

And we gotta get back to defense! That's our strength! That should always be there! Threes won't!

Credit to Cole Anthony. Balled out infront of mom. And Terrence Ross needs to either get traded here or get traded to a West team. Sick of him playing like Jordan every time!

He was not a willing passer today. He had gotten doubled and tripled a lot today and forced it numerous times it was frustrating to watch.v

I’d like to see the Knicks run more pick and roll with Kemba, that’s his game, he seems to be right now just looking to feed the ball to Randle..we all know Kemba isn’t a good defender but he’s supposed to make up for it with his offense..he’s also shooting the ball well, they have more offensive weapons, still don’t see them using it..Kemba can be explosive, and can take a game over, we know he’s not being asked to do that, but he should be utilized better.

Obi was really bad in his limited minutes too...not only did he throw up some UFO's he was getting and-1 all over the place. That was the start of the magic run in the late 3rd/4th.

No. I won't

I'm a strong believer in plant medicine in terms of herbalism, but I've sworn off anything psychoactive.

If you have any interest in developing higher consciousness I'd recommend staying away from plant based shamanism as a rule. That may offend some people who are big believers in ayahuasca or similar analogues, but I have good reason to advise against it. I know some people use it to heal or kick drugs, but if they do then they should treat it as a singular experience and move on. None of it should be used recreationally

You guys are a tough team and Mitch always blocks all of our shots lol. I wouldn't freak out too much, we have literally the youngest starting lineup in NBA history but they're gonna play hard and hustle even if they **** up a bit and win once in a while. Ross is the x-factor because some days he just doesn't give a **** but then he'll go insane because he loves taking tough shots.

Rose is insane though I would never have imagined him revamping his career like he has. RJ will be fine in the end IMO, he's too talented, he just needs to find his role on the team which will take a little bit because of all the new pieces.

I’ll accept this embarrassment if we win the next 2. This wasn’t a good look though. Magic pulled up like they had something to prove from the get.

On the positive, at least Mitch is ok and played really well
