I'm the most negative fan with the Knicks, but there's no reason for Leon to clear this much cap unless he has the word of an available star player.


No, they don't.

All you are hearing is rumors by twitter nerds hunting clicks that the Knicks SEEM to be clearing cap space or they MIGHT trade Fournier for cap space+ exception etc etc.

All we know is they have 29 or 30 million in cap space and they have an interest in Brunson.

Even that they might hand out a descending contract is speculation.

Who is the star? Beal or LaVine taking paycuts?

Unlikely


Mitchell.

All that depth the Hawks acquired is being cashed in and paying dividends. I think the Knicks are holding out for Donovan Mitchell (or someone like that) in a year or 2.


I approve. Knicks shouldn't make any moves for role players or players that don't move the needle to championship


not sure it moves the needle past the play-in


I'm so into the Knicks Statis movement that I want Clyde at PG at 80 years old.

Drummond should be the starter if we get him. He’d be light years ahead of the 2nd best center on the roster

If Leon dumps Randle and/or Fournier, we are trading for someone notable. There's no reason to do it now. That's my opinion.

We should know by tonight or earlier.

Hmmm.

Who else goes with Randle to match the salaries?

I say yes. Philly says no.

My kids weren’t big peanut butter fans either. But they loved this sandwich

1 slice peanut butter
1 slice jelly
1 slice Nutella on both sides (middle slice)

Something about the combination really compliments each other

I haven't eaten pb and j for a minute, but I can't now. Got diagnosed with diabetes, so I gotta cut down on processed sugar, pb and j would be like the worst thing for that cause it's all carbs. Nutella is just awful for you though lol

I found that grapes with a handful of peanuts kind of hit that same spot though. One of my favorite snacks right now.


i don't know specifics about what someone with diabetes can eat but i only ever eat natural peanut butter which is just nuts, oil and salt, stirring it is annoying, and you can get a lot of good jams that are just all fruit and sweetened with fruit juice. outside of the bread, it's a lot like just eating fruit and nuts.

I mean, there's potentially every reason to trade Randle now - get off bad money before it gets worse.

Not that it can't get better, but given what we saw of his attitude last season, coupled with horrendous efficiency, I don't think we've seen the potential bottom yet.
