I heard that Nerlens went building the skyscraper in NYC with his own hands.



Ever been to New York? Which skyscraper are you referring to? It’s not a concept- “building the skyscraper”. Not sure where you are located or what you know about NYC

Na, I’d like more specifics on the “skyscraper”. If you’re not from my city please I don’t even care for your two scents ( pun intended).

Just Sign Precious. He will be more than serviceable as a backup 4-5. If Mitch goes down (prob after January), Precious prob could be traded with Deuce (and maybe another asset) for a legit center on a team that is not going anywhere

Well as of right now the free agent market for big men is crap. Dwight Howard is technically the best (none trade) option available but he's busy with his own team that he's part owner of in Taiwan so would be unlikely that he'll want to return to the NBA for the vet minimum. Plus my sense is that he's been "unofficially" blacklisted by the NBA.

Nerlens Noel has bigger hands than Walker Kessler which makes this even more funny. :lol:

I don't get what some of you see in Kessler and Richards. Both look overrated to me. :-?

They are better than what's left in free agency and what the Knicks have on the roster as option to play 20 minutes a game in the best case scenario (where Mitch doesn't go down)? The best available FA center left is 36 year old Javaaaaale McGee. Kessler and Richards have both started and shown they can play in the role that Thibs wants his centers to be able to play. Kessler has upside.

Problem with Noel's hands is that they're like the flippers you find on a Walrus or a Seal. They're like stuck in one position. No dexterity. Why he always had such a hard time catching passes and trying to do anything with the ball.

Nah ah. Flippers are flexible, living tissue. Hands of Stone are not.

I have no problem with Noel staying in shape and being our replacement for our annual Taj Gibson call up. But what's gonna happen is Taj will get waived just in time for us to make our annual Taj call.

They will once they have exhausted all other options and have to do a sign and trade including him and Deuce (and more assets) for Clit "Cooked"Pela.

I heard that Biden told his advisers, "If Taj can still play, I'm not too old to run!"

So u want a twig who can't get a single rebound? There's a reason he isn't on a team and has barely played the last few years.... he's **** terrible

You should be banned for even suggesting him.... Sims is more effective and that's saying A LOT
