Perry was not the GM with the pistons. why is he getting credit for that team?

Yeah, they have more than enough 3 pt shooting but their defense is pretty horrendous. A healthy Nurk will help some....


they need to replace bazemore. he is wide open about 10 times a game and he can't make a shot to save his life.

Covington would be the perfect fit. Minnesota will get a lot of big offers for him before the deadline.

Perry has never built a playoff team, let alone a contender

And to think some of you doubted him. Y’all look mad foolish right now.

This isn't healthy. Let it go, man.

The Knicks have been horrible for two decades. I’m entitled to be bitter, in a sports kind of way. Happy New Year!

Malik Monk, Zach Collins and Luke Kennard went over Mitchell. He’s really surpassed expectations so I don’t have as much of a problem with that. It is embarrassing, though, to scout Kentucky all year and come to the conclusion that Knox is a superior prospect to Knox.

I don't know how any scout could really say one was better than the other at Kentucky, tbh

Two decades should be enough to desensitize you to anything negative. Like developing tolerance to a drug you use frequently.

Nah never. No surrender. Plus KP is probably a decent guy but he represents what's wrong with the media perception of the Knicks to some extent ... or even what's wrong with the NBA in general.

I don't know about that one. Kentucky was very good, so their best prospects automatically carried a lot of promise. Knox was considered the better prospect as Shai didn't even barely flash any of the skill level he now relies on regularly. Then again, Knox wasn't dominant either, but he was ok.

It is what it is, but at that time nobody could have anticipated this outcome. If anything, I could imagine Knox having a similar surprise breakout in case of a change of scenery. If you look at how fluid he moves and shoots the ball at 6'9, you can't deny the talent level.

shai was great during the sec tournament and ncaa tournament. as far as knox, i really don’t see the potential many here talk about. sure he has a good shooting stroke, but his shooting numbers are horrible. i personally think he’ll be out of the league in 5 or so years

Imagine watching the Knicks when Ja Morant is one.

Ja & SGA breaking out has my soul in heaven for eternity. Ja is SPECIAL.
