We have a very tough schedule to end the year and play the Timberwolves to start the year.

I feel like this will indicate where our Knicks are headed towards the new year.

We need to finish strong……………..by beating the Jazz!

Any shot at Desmond Bane? Probably not but put a big offer in.

Pelicans have any interest in an Ingram trade? Maybe he gets fed up with being there. Probably would be the best acquisition we can make at this point in terms of youth and talent.

Markannen? Keldon Johnson? Giddey?

What about less notable guys - my guy Tari Eason? De’andre Hunter? Jalen Johnson? Branham? Jaylen Williams? Ousmane Dieng? Agbaji? Nikola Jovic?

Markannen would be interesting. I’d be open to bringing Eason as well. The rest are kinda eh.

I haven’t followed Markannen this year at all. Has he been as good as he was last year?

We are the most top shelf of mid

We’re more like an exercise bike than a treadmill. Maybe a peloton. Something a little fancier than a regular old treadmill

alex toussaint for the win

That dude is either cracked out on preworkout or is just the best work out motivator that’s every existed :lol:

I’m more of a Kendall, Jess King, and Ben guy cuz they’ve got my preferred work out music.

Need to get this win. Would be great to see another big game from Julius, that means the two darlings that are always put above him (Siakam, Lauri) would have just gotten their lunch taken by him.

I really do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the fact remains we are mediocre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of crying about it im just going to enjoy watching them play win Or Lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because that’s what True Knick Fans Do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know!!!!!!!! you get pretty high and low on a night-by-night basis!!!!!!!! i support this even keel approach!!!!!!!!

jokes aside. yes. we are mid. mid is not an insult in our case. mid is a step between trash and champ. it's tough to see through in the moment sometimes, but we remain in good position to grow as we are and strike when the trade food is on the table. i'm at peace with it. no title delusions this season.

also, treadmill is mid for a long time with no way out. we haven't even been mid long enough to be using that term. and it doesn't really apply to teams rife with assets. part of our frustration is having too much mattress money to launder. would be nice to maximize/consolidate soon.

when we do that, we might miss these times and players. just saying.

lastly, what would this board be without "crying about" the things that matter? it takes all kinds.
this is the best knicks basketball community on the planet. IDGAF fight me.

real talk, the other day, when i was wondering where buzz was, i almost made a joke about how i wonder about peoples' wellbeing when they go from frequent to ghost. and that the day we lose wingo will crush me. but then it occurred to me that unless the team is dismantled, i'll probably be a member of this forum for the rest of my life. and then i went down an existential rabbit hole.

Sad to see Windler go, but he was never going to play anyways.
Taj is a need.

Let's be real here. The last time we were contenders you weren't even born. We are the definition of mid now with no real hope of being contenders.

Scared money doesn't make money. Trade for Zion either he works out or eats himself into oblivion. by the time that happens we have pick control back and can tank. In the meantime we get to fire off fat jokes.

There is a vision here.

i actually thought we were contenders in 2013 whore

if you get to fire off fat jokes, i'll make sure ndos makes your life miserable. there's the trade off.

I'm married with kids and a career I hate.

I can't be hurt.

we were contenders in 2013. we were the 2 seed and we had the 1 seed's number. sadly the wheels fell off during that pacers series. one of the biggest what-if seasons in knick history no doubt

Facts if we kept our level of playing going we would’ve been finals bound. Don’t know if we we would beat the spurs tho but I remember that season we beat the spurs in San Antonio for the first time in years too
