Too many mediocre teams that I do not see us overcoming next year.

Not much Will change with teams 1 thru 6 in the Eastern Conference. Orlando is an improved team and actually played well in the playoffs. Atlanta will be in the hunt. Miami will be in the hunt. Detroit, might make some moves to be there as well.
Don't get me wrong, the Knicks will be fun to watch....just don't see them in the playoffs yet.

A good season for us would be 30+ wins. Maybe not enough for the playoffs but we shouldn't accept anything less than 25 wins with this group.

I used to say bad stuff about DSj and I don't think he'll be great. But the way some people just hate on him, and Dennis's likable and misunderstood personality, has me shifting toward him.

Dallas still got picks to give away?
They’ve had about as meh an off season as I could’ve imagined with their cap space. And I like Delon.

2021 pick looking juicier by the day.

He seems to be going forward on his jump shot. Not good. Has to go straight up and land in the same spot

Knicks actually have a better roster this year then last year and more talent across the board. The hornets, raptors, cavs,wizards, and hawks aren't making the playoffs.

Idk man. I think “perfect “ mechanics is all bull. Many great 3pt shooters don’t have the best mechanics.

I tried so long to jump straight up on jumpers. But off the dribble I need to jump backwards a little when I shoot. It flows way better for me and anything else just feels awkward.

If he’s making that shot with the forward motion I think it’s a benefit. It forces the defender to ease up when contesting the shot. I’ve seen Harden draw multiple fouls by jumping forward and getting undercut by a defender.

It also gives him an head start to grab the offensive rebound

As long as the ball goes in...Shawn Marion had the ugliest shot but it was wet...

Marion shot well below league average from 3 pretty much his entire career.

Yep.... Harden will do it to try and draw fouls

I partially disagree. Raptors and Hawks have a shot. Raptors played well for several games without Leonard last season.

Playoff guaranteed Bucks, Sixers and Indiana.
Tanking teams: Charlotte, Cavs and Wizards.
Unknown status: rest of the conference.

He just needs to want the ball to go in

Windy said LAL gave Green 2/30 to beat the DAL offer of 3/36.

I don’t see why DAL wouldn’t beat that especially after getting no one

I still don’t get why they had no interest in Randle. That guy’s a perfect fit next to KP.

Looks like they got Delon Wright

From the way TOR fans describe him, he’s kind of like a more developed Frank
