WTF are we thinking? By now this is totally out of hand. Why wouldn't we want Robinson?

Where are the realists to explain this? :lol: It's an honest request, I just don't understand it.

Name a player with +2.5mn salary that can be waived on the Knicks aka non guarantees.

Rather +25 years...

Do you think it’s a realistic scenario knicks would actually take wiseman though. I’m worried they value Mitch to much and would pass on him
Having Nerlens Noel didn't stop the Sixers from drafting Embiid. You take Wiseman and worry about Mitch later.

Sixers took Okafor as well LOL. Didn’t pan out but eventually they were able to get their stud PG in the succeeding draft.

As great as Mitch looks at times he shouldn’t be the reason for us not to get Wiseman if given a chance.

Book put on the spot LOL.

I think Booker stays. Timberwolves won’t be better than the Suns. Meanwhile Ayton has been developing into a two way star. 28 points 19 rebounds 3 steals against Jokic. Soon he’s gonna be in the convo for best 2 way big in the league. Only 21 years old too.



Jokic on Ayton after last night.

I was lurking over the Suns board and they think that the Suns will eventually be Aytons team, as soon as next year. I wonder how Booker would feel being 1B to him.


This will be an unpopular take but I think the Suns take off once Booker sees Ayton at the very least as his equal.

We got a Detroit 2nd and it looks like the Wizard actually did like Sanon, so hopefully he's not a bum

Lakers trying to choose between JR Smith and Dion Waiters. The devil you know or the devil you don’t, that’s a tough one.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is shooting 40% from 3 on 6.7 3's per game. That's really effin good. He was always used wrong in New York. He's an off ball, pindown, curl threat that's strong in transition. Make him create his own shot and he's a frustrating player. THJ is a solid player. Good coaches use him right. I know I got hung for liking the signing, but w/e lol.
