His length, basketball IQ, strength, passing and offensive versatility make him someone who can really productively eat minutes up front. We'll be glad to have him in New York.

This is the second guy we signed who averaged double digit points last year with a decent three point volume. We are cooking

This makes sense if you're moving KATs soft ass to the 4 and starting Mitch.

Brunson
Bridges
OG
KAT
Mitch

Deuce, Hart, Clarkson, Yabusele off the bench.

Yabu is an Excellent signing, watched alotta Sixers game this season, Luv his 3 pt Shooting ability

He really took off Offensively with the Paul George injury

General Board said we're in the 2nd Apron now

Please don't let that be True

I believe it's automatically true when you use the MLE

Good pickup. He is a lot more versatile than Achiuwa so he will be able to help space the floor and also still provide some size inside

We're not in the 2nd apron, we're only hardcapped at the 2nd apron. as long as we round out rest of roster w vet mins and rookie exceptions, we'll be below 2nd apron (just barely)

We can play 5 out if we need to now...good stuff.

It's been a good day as a Knicks fan. Bucks hurting themselves and Indiana by getting Turner. Us taking Yabusele from Philly. Let's go.

we basically need to fill out the roster with another rookie minimum signing like the 2nd round guy we just drafted or Nnaji would we just brought over then we can sign another vet min guy like Shamet back or someone like that.

Good signing

Two very solid moves to start, we just really need 1 more decent bench piece.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
Alex Sarr/Clint Capela

Bench: Malcolm Brogdon/Hansen Yang/Rocco Zikarsky/RJ Luis Jr.

we weren't going to be a 2nd apron team this year anyway so it really doesn't matter.

Knicks' fans: What the hell is Leon waiting for? Sign players.
Knicks' front office hours later: Let's welcome Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele

Some of y'all will never learn. At some point you're going to have to accept that the front office knows what it's doing. :lol:
