Kolek is about to be 25 years old in 3 months.
Not many teams that aren't already set at their pg position or viewed as a non contender would give him a look.
But its a perfect situation for the Knicks and they're being rewarded by his play

I’m watching Spurs/Thunder and both teams have so many guys that can attack the basket. Literally the exact opposite of our struggle ball style of play.

Kornet is the same level player as Poeltl... change my mind lol

The amount of guard depth on the Spurs is ridiculous. Fox/Harper/Castle/Wemby is a nasty core.

Love watching Mitchell and Brunson. Both are superstars. (Wish we had one)

Mobley is one of the most overrated players in the league. Barely impacted the game. Invisible today.

We'd complain about them hogging the ball

"Superstar" is a bit aggressive for both of them.

Both are widely regarded as being top 10 NBA players so it's really not an "aggressive" take as you put it.

They're a threat this year make no bones about it, Wemby with guards that can shoot and play defense is a nasty combination. They will be a tough out on the playoffs and this post-season is a coming out party for Wemby

Kolek > IQ

Lol dont let up my guy I remember during draft days it was all you.

I say this to boogie as well, till this day he remembers about being pro Powell, esp the Trent trade. Guys compared him to a poor man's d Wade and we werent wrong.

In the Norm vs Gary debate even the age gap has meant nothing. Norm is still going strong all these years later, much better player than Gary. Still improving, even

Gotta wonder, with OKC losing 3 times to Spurs, does OKC make a big move and go add Giannis.

What is OKC trading though? The salaries needed to match are the 2 guys OKC needs to let go of this offseason to save them the tax (IH & Dort).

And Chet and J-Dub are both on ppp’s right now.

I’d like to reimagine the year 2022-2023 season again.

Imagine if the Raptors didn’t trade for Poeltl and did a proper tank and Poeltl would have helped SA win some games.

All that after Masai went to France to allegedly scout Wemby prior to the Poeltl trade.

Anyways sorry for the revisionism lol

Is RJ the only guy who can go to the bucket? I mean IQ has his floater and Barnes and Ingram operate in kind of the same areas of the court - long 2s and 3s if it’s not an offensive rebound or easy attack to the rim. We haven’t had an elite drive to the basket guy in a while.

Unless they lose to them in the playoffs, there’s no need to make a move. If these two somehow face each other in a series, I would imagine the games to be tighter. Chet needs to be a bigger difference maker when playing Wemby

Jokic is a special player. When it’s all said and done, I think he will be remembered as a top 5 player of all-time.

GoRapstheoriginal · Post #658 » by **GoRapstheoriginal** » Fri Dec 26, 2025 6:28 pm

Agreed Los. Def in the convo 4 sho(for top 5 of all time).
