Precious is going to feel like he's in jail under Thibs after the free reign he had here.

Thibs wants to find a player who can field for Gibson, but Precious so trash that had no choice to bring Gibson back.

Knicks have the supporting cast for a championship team. If they can trade Randle + picks for a superstar, they’ll be a championship contender for sure.

Precious will shape up if he wants to continue his NBA career. If he does under Thibodeau he will be a very good player. His issue was always his boneheaded decisions which are all related to him thinking he's more than he is.

NYK is so damn thin. IDK how they did not insist on getting back OPJ or something to at least have someone playable.

That last foul on OG was just ridiculous. What were the refs watching?

WuTang_OG wrote:Good win for NY. OG will do a lot of good for NY since they basically swapping OG for RJ. IQ developed and so they had a real good trade piece to get OG and who was also on the bench. NY aint done either.

they need the extra move because it kinda felt they swapped their bench for ours. gave up a big run that led the twolves back in the game in that 4th quarter.

they do have some assets in draft picks; they should be able to get some depth.

The thinking may be to use them in trade for a scorer.
