I like the effort. We just need to move the ball fast to beat them.

Can't believe we reserved a spot for Shamet while he nursed a dislocated shoulder. HE IS NOT WORTH THAT PREFERENCE!!!

Simms getting traded my guy. But I can see Hukporti being a better reserve long term.

Yeah, he’s gotta relax a little and just play. He’s trying too hard to impress Thibs.

Huka was nervous AF out there. Gave solid minutes. With more playing time he will decrease those jittery fouls.

Sims is getting traded

100%, but for value or as a contract? Because we don't have to be weary of shipping and handling if he is going to get cut and wind up in Westchester

Hows Ryan De Arancini doing these days?

I know coaches love Shamet, but I really wish we'd see more Kolek.

The Luka trade was nice for the last few days to take off the spotlight on the realization this Knicks team is not really a title contender yet... can they turn around, yes, if KAT and OG recover 100%

Gotta get rim protection. We are a different team when we protect the paint.
