This organization has no idea what they're doing. Lonzo Ball should have been the 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority.

I am hoping this FA period is used equally as much to prepare for the future instead of just finding 'fits' for this season.

Based on what is being reported early it seems like that wont be the case.

Evan Fournier is hardly going to light up the eyes of potential FA's in the future. "Wow - I won't to go play with EF he'll make me that much better".

I will be bitterly bitterly disappointed if the Knicks end up with Fournier, Cameron Payne, Denis Schroder etc.

The Lonzo thing - people were missing the point. You're not getting him because you want him to drop 25 a night and attack the rim. You're getting him so that he can control the offense, bring the best out of RJ, Randle, Obi, Mitch, IQ etc.

Think we dropped the ball on that one.

Lonzo isn’t a penetrator. Thibs likes penetrating PGd.

It's management malpractice. Team is cursed since they did Ewing wrong.

I honestly was mad that people were willing to pay lonzo 25 a year but who the **** knew this was the alternative.

Think everyone needs to wake up and realize these nba contracts have changed. Doug mcdermott just got 14m per….Duncan Robinson 18m per….Kelly olynk 12m per…Jarret Allen 20m per. Noel is a bargain at those rates

Lonzo isn't even a player to cry over. If his name was Lonzo Smith and he didn't have a little brother who looks like what he should have been, people wouldn't care about him. He does nothing at an elite level.

Sexton kind of has to be available given what they paid Allen, right? Gilbert has only really spent (understandably) when LeBron had them contending. I can't see them wanting to pay Sexton now with Garland there and all this money allocated to Allen.

Mitch and Quickley for Myles Turner. Hate giving up Quickley but signing Burks buries one of the rooks on the bench, this opens up playing time for them, and Turner is a better fit next to Randle.

Any chance Quickley has made strides in the off-season to be a starter ?

Would rather have had Theiss at 4 years 36 mil than Noel at 3 years 31.

Must've missed it when Devonte Graham became a good player.
