Sounds like Kemba's ok and on concussion protocol.

I guess it's a toss up who will be worse, Knicks or Charlotte, but I'd assume the Knicks. In effect, it's like having our own 2nd round picks, but lost 5 or 6 spaces in the order.
You wanna know why we don't own our 2nds for the next 2 years?
Because we traded them to get the pick which became Willy
Then we traded Willy to Charlotte for their two 2nds
So in essence, we traded our 2nds in 20 and 21 for Charlotte's 2nds in 20 and 21 straight up

I had an idea it was the WHG picks, or one of them was in there. It's wild that it's two of them.
But I like that kind of approach by the Knicks. They moved up to get WHG for the KP connection. Traded some future assets in 2nd rounders - not wild about that, but I like being bold like that, but then later than later basically recovered those picks.
Knicks do some messed up stuff, but this sequence by the FO was pretty good.

Yup it was a worthwhile shot and then they went and undid any damage from the move. That's solid.

The game changed quick. What Willy does well doesn't matter much anymore - while what he doesn't do well - i.e., defend - continues to matter.

Adam Silver will ruin the NBA if he stays in charge.
Steph Curry bailed him out for about a half-decade but he's not around anymore. Adam Silver has been spitting on NBA tradition for years. Started with the dunk contest, then the All-Star game format (which is now more pointless and unwatchable than ever), the ads on jerseys and now the whole schedule?
People have been patting each other the back about the Donald Sterling situation for far too long. Silver has gotten a lifetime pass thanks to that. This is absurd.
Also I'm in a bad mood lol.

It’s an intriguing thought. From what it sounds like it’s similar to what they do in soccer.

I think LaVine is the next big name to go.
Don’t hurt me, but if we can swing Randle, Trier & a Dallas #1 for LaVine, you do it.
Cole Anthony
LaVine
Frank
Barrett
Mitch
Small ball lineup is everything I want in the universe

Ok but the 2023 top-10 protected pick.
The 2021 is unprotected, Lord knows where it's gonna fall. LaVine hasn't played well this season but Boylen is a spectacularly bad coach. I would trade for him in a heartbeat.
Frank
LaVine
RJ
Morris

At least there's more shooting and more ball-handling. I do like Trier better than Knox though so... *ducks.

Bulls not trading Lavine for another bigman bro. That's not a realistic trade

It was more getting out of his contract and getting a first round pick. Randle going to be an expiring. I was tempted to add Knox & take out the #1

So do I, so we can duck together. Knox takes bad shots and doesn’t defend at all. That formula leads to a bad equation.
