I can't believe the Suns got Plumlee for 3.3m. I wish he waited another day for iHart to shake out.

robinson
randle
anunoby
bridges
brunson

is a pretty damn big starting lineup minus brunson

donte, hart, deuce coming off their playoff experience would definitely be a good enough bench if we simply sign a solid bench center to manage mitch's health more intentionally this year. we hired a new medical guy, we traded mad picks for a miracle acquisition, we're trying to win the championship this season

Maybe we’ll see Deuce for Kessler and then we try for Lowry at the min and slowly work Kolek into the mix.

Randle + Mitch for KAT to play the Omari Spellman role?

Brunson
Donte
Mikal
OG
KAT

We’re gonna use the Hartenstein money on super soldier serum to give Mitch

That the Jazz are willing to engage in talks for him

Knicks probably had a strong impression IHart was leaving. Begley is their mouthpiece and he has basically maintained that stance for weeks now.

They have been working behind the scenes for sure and have a Plan B. Now maybe that Plan B was sticking with Mitch and letting Randle play some minutes at the 5 to have all our top scorers on the floor at once:

Randle
OG
Bridges
Divo
Brunson

I would prefer Plan B to be one of:

Bidatze
Kessler
Richards
or even Saric

We will likely know in a couple days or so (or even sooner)

Would love to hear a rumor we are looking at a center or two here. They can't possibly be conceding the spot to Sims or the rookie. Right? Right?

As I mentioned in the other thread there may be reasons why we go into the season low on Cs just like we were low on wings last season and then work it out in-season. Something in the works.

We didn’t work out the wing issue in season. In fact it got worst

Ugh. Ok. I'm over it. Fuq Shart and OKC. I have to trust the FO to fix the issue. That's all. Precious would be nice for now though.

Looking forward to SL coming up. We get a good look at the rookies.

PS...FUQ SHART!

Knicks need a guy off the bench who can get in the paint 1v1 and create shots for others.

Gonna have to say no to Precious. if Mitch and Precious sharing C minutes... that would mean there's zero offense output from that position.

I want another body. Period. One who is familiar with the system isn't a bad idea with the money we have to spend. Thibs doesn't expect much offense from his center so, whatever.
