Same knee injury. He's only played 4 games with the Pistons. It's weird it's taking this long to heal up, though.

Good thing we got rid of those stat padders that don’t contribute to winning.

The Raptors when they play the Hornets and Pistons

They’re like the 2014 Kings that finished with 28 wins

Cousins- Barnes
Rudy Gay- RJ
Isaiah Thomas- IQ
Derrick Williams- Kelly olynyk
Ben mclmore- Gary Trent jr

They have to go on a losing streak.

They know what they're doing right now.

they are running out some RJ - DJ Carton - Jordan Nwora - Gradey - Jontay Porter lineups as the bench unit. that is some wild ****

Home stretch of the season.

Clutch tank masterclass by Ujiri :lol:

Of course not. Cuban is a stand-up guy.

Basically Knicks scrubs when the season is over, their contracts are expiring, and FO decides not to tank.

Looking at you KOQ, THJ and Enes Kanter. Really appreciate you all helping us build a winning culture.

I don't think the new ownership will allow it, else they'd miss out on playoff revenue. Hard to justify tanking, though, with a team with Luka and Kyrie.

Knicks are going to end up with their 24 first. They traded away their 27 first for PJ and their 29 first for Kyrie. They lost Brunson. Traded KP for Dinwiddie and Bertans and their fanbase hates Kidd.

This is their core for the foreseeable future. When they offloaded their draft capital (Nets trade, Spurs trade and this deadline), it had little to no protections on them. Luka has to win with this group or they will need to trade one of their young players to get a bigger star.

Dont think Luka would tolerate it either.

this probably helps them if anything

Silver lining to being injured down to play-in range it would be nice to have 2 picks in the 13-16 range, regardless of what they do with it. Just have to hope the slimy mavs organization doesn’t tank again with 20 games left when Ramadan kyrie starts playing while malnourished again
