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

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

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

:lol: 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.

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:

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?

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

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