He’s no Isaiah Jackson but he’d be a good addition to their squad

In this scenario the Suns would get Myles Turner so it’s not a automatic bad thing

We are seriously **** Folksssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here comes the Summer League shenanigans

It’s not even that polky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the fact that the continuing influx of young talent is coming in everywhere in the league except for Ny!!!!!!!!!!!!

We’ve been by far arguably the worst franchise in basketball for 2 decades and we still haven’t had a transcendent talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all our suckery the best we have to show for it is Rj Barrett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like make it make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Knicks have had a propensity to either go all in on vets or tear it down with scrubs that have no place. They finally have a strong nucleus of young guys you want to see developed the right way. They are on the right path.

I’ll never get over us not drafting Haliburton. That hurt, it was an obvious match at the time. Depressing.

Once he started falling
Majority of the Board was calling for the Knicks to get the pick

Same. Love the player, can't stand watching him play. It's one continuous "Fck this"

Would be easier to stomach if Obi was playing 35 mins per night, flying around and dunking, averaging 20ppg on 55% shooting.

Instead they relegate Obi to playing 10 minutes per game behind Randle; never finding a rhythm, role, or confidence.

WTH was the point in drafting a PF at all with the 8th pick just to die this type of horrible death behind Randle? :crazy:

aggo · Post #1392 » by **aggo** » Wed Jul 6, 2022 11:59 pm

really there are some guys in the NBA that must just be horrible teammates.

Ayton replacing Myles Turner.

from a purely stats POV, Turner is a slightly above average defender everywhere + shoots threes. Whats the problem? he cant play next to sabonis? dude must just be a cancer I dont get it.

same for Collin sexton, John collins, etc.

must be like horrible stuff only true nba insiders know about. like miles bridges level of insanity.

because:

Ayton at 30m >>>>> Myles Turner at 17m?

Whiny affluent individual moves to NYC
Develops strong affiliation with Brooklyn based on an urban past that basically barely exists anymore
Joins with the upscale hipster environment of gentrified downtown Brooklyn
Immediately starts connecting himself with NYC culture and past he has no clue about

Don’t forget the ending…

Moves out once things get really difficult

Surprised Durant and Kyrie didn't get a fancy Covid bungalow upstate in the country

Chet struggling a bit today. That’s why you don’t crown someone after one game of SL lol

But I think he’ll still be pretty good long term

Get the kid down to 250-260 and he could be something, there's a lot of actual basketball skill in that big body.

He had already lost some weight by the combine, you could see his face was leaner when they were interviewing him.
