C'mon that's not fair. You know damn well he brought in well-respected veteran coaches to help him manage the finer aspects of the coaching process. Nash is there to be a connective tissue with celebrity athletes. You need to look past him and you'll see there's no need to worry because they have an assistant coach who's can fix the technical aspects of this process, like...

Order of importance to the Nets might be Harden -> KD -> Kyrie.

Don’t forget Amare as the player development guy

I read a statistic recently that 1 in 10 men is important.

NOP talking trade to teams about JJ Redick shows you how a tank is commanded.

They hoped to win, now they tank. You can only hope the Knicks know what they're doing.

Well teams with players a la Covington could get involved, but that's not the return Brooklyn would accept- even though they may already know how it would improve them. There are some middling teams with a need for a talent like Kyrie, but it's not gonna happen.

You're right though.

I can't believe people are downpalying this. These losses add up. We have lost way too many games to bad teams.

We can't keep winning games 140-135. Its not sustainable .

This team has an insane amount of talent and yet plays like garbage. No concept of team defense. You cannot win a Championship this way.

I don’t think Redick or Lonzo have been good this season.

JJRedick is washed. His decline started years ago in Philly. He went from really Inconsistent to really bad. He's "washed" as in what Jason Kidd turned into halfway into his last season with the Knicks- just fell off the cliff. At this point I wouldn't even give up a 2nd rounder fro him. Or at least not Detroit's.

JJ is shooting poorly. They might get better without him.

As matter fact, NOP backcourt is so deep (NAW, Kira, Hart), they might stay the same even without Bledsoe or Lonzo.

So, I think the Pels could do better, but here is where I'd like the Knicks to take a chance on a Frank for Lonzo trade, where maybe both guys benefit from a change in scenery.

Let's pretend I know the Knicks really aren't sold on Frank. And it's possible they deal him and he gets better than he is now, that he finally "develops".

I still wouldn't mind it IF Frank just isn't "in their plans" (which seems the case)

Then at least they get the rights to Lonzo and the rest of the season to check him out. Like a modified Mudiay thing.

Read on Twitter

Porzingis has missed 11 games this season while recovering from surgery on a torn lateral meniscus suffered in his right knee during the playoffs. Thus far, KP has looked like a shell of the player who averaged 26.7 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks over a 21-game stretch to close last season. That version of Porzingis was a dominant force, but then he disappeared just like he has in almost every other season of his career. Right now, the 25-year-old lacks explosiveness on offense, is shooting only 28.6 percent from 3, and moves defensively like he’s walking on stilts.

The injury Porzingis is recovering from marks the 13th to his lower body since entering the league in 2015. That’s terrifying for a 7-foot-3 big man, especially given the extensive injury history for players as tall as Porzingis. He’s already missed 170 games in his career, or 40 percent of all possible appearances. Can we really expect him to be any healthier in the future? And should we expect Luka to have much tolerance for KP’s absences and diminishing play?

After the Mavs got slugged by the Jazz last Friday, Doncic said his team’s play and effort was terrible. “I’ve never felt like this. We’ve got to do something, because this is not looking good. We’ve got to step up and just talk to each other and play way better than this. It’s mostly effort,” Doncic told reporters. On Saturday, their effort did improve in a loss against the Suns in which Porzingis wasn’t available due to a planned rest day. But their 3-point shooting didn’t, another major concern.

The Mavs are hitting 32.8 percent of their 3s this season, good for last in the NBA. Their top-ranked offense from last season has plummeted to 19th. Percentages from 3 could improve, but maybe 2019-20 will stand as an outlier for Dorian Finney-Smith, who’s now shooting his career average. Maybe Josh Richardson’s offensive decline that started in Philadelphia is continuing in Dallas. And there’s reason to doubt Porzingis returning to form and staying healthy enough to serve as Luka’s oversized sniper.
