You never hear anything that goes on in Sacramento. Like Fox averaging 28 PPG post all star break and shooting 70% at the rim 3 feet and under. Perfect Thibs PG.


Kings might trade Fox...since he has been out Haliburton has been absolutely dominating with full PG usage. He is probably there future.

Agreed, 22 and 13 again tonight lol. Fox would probably cost us RJ which scares me.
CEO of the not trading RJ club.

Here is the full podcast...



A few really good tidbits about his time with the Knicks:

- Melo was actually he was able to rest while Linsanity was happening. Main issues were not the chemistry issues between Lin and Melo, but more so D'Antoni and Melo. Melo did not want to play like he used to in Denver (which is I guess what D'Antoni wanted out of him). Melo wanted to slow the pace down and reserve energy for the playoffs.
- The players loved Steve Novak and were really bummed out that he got traded for Bargnani. That trade was pretty much what cost the Knicks that 2013-2014 season. Having Novak on the floor was a pick your poison situation, because no one was leaving Novak open so you either had to let Novak shoot the three or you had someone drive the hoop.
- A ton of pressure was put on Bargnani who was still recovering from his injuries. Not only were any chemistry issues going to be blamed on Bargnani if it didn't work out, but Bargnani's NBA career was on the line playing with the Knicks.
- Shump's biggest regret in his career is not demanding to play point guard when Woodson forced him to be a 3 and D guy and had Felton be the guy to run the team. Shump felt he should have stood has ground and demanded a trade. He wanted to develop as a point guard, not be a 3 and D guy.
- JR Smith is the most underrated player he ever had as a teammate.
- The Knicks should NOT have lost against the Pacers in 2013, but Shump for whatever reason really had to hold his tongue as to why they lost that series and he just wouldn't say why.

There was rumors JR Smith was coked up during the playoffs, wonder if it’s that.

A healthy (in every sense of the word) Knicks team would've smoked the Pacers and given Miami a run for their money.

HUGE what if.

I feel that this joke is harmful to people who enjoy marijuana as a recreational drug or people who have a medical need to use this medicine. Someone get Knick4life in here ASAP to correct this hurtful and harmful behavior*

*Willing to accept photographic proof of a medical marijuana card as proof you can make jokes about this subject.

And here we go. Once they decided to ad jerseys ads all hell broke loose. As I am used to European football I always enjoyed the clean looks of nba jerseys. No jersey adds, just the simple nba logo and that's it.

jersey ads are terrible. just a cash grab by the NBA

I read they go for $15-20M per season....IMO not worth ruining the integrity of the jersey for that when these teams are making on avg $250M per yr in revenue
