Seems like he's so much older.


One thing is we know Morey knows all the advanced stats, so if he feels you must have a big defensive presence at backup C, then Nerlens makes more sense right off the bat. Yes I'm living on another team's analysis as I overlay it on the Knicks' choices.

Also I'm fearful Mitch is gone.

Well, Drummond sucks as a defensive presence, so Morey clearly doesn't feel you need a big defensive presence at backup C

Also, Drummond is on for 1 year vet min, we signed Nerlens to 2 years 20 mil. Big difference.


Oh word lol? :oops:

If so I'll amend to a big body who can perhaps be a defensive and offensive presence close in.

I've never thought Drummond was so bad. He is obviously not playing well last several months but I used to think he was a pretty good big man. Just not great.

if the knicks/thibs are smart they give walker and rose games off, you can afford it -- you have the horses.

i wonder if randle will bring the ball up the court as much as he does with rose, walker and even burks/fournier.

you also have to wonder if they finally allow rj to be more of a point forward.

i don't know what their record will be but i'm interested to seeing how this team plays out.

Kemba watched that Verzuz last night and knew it was time to come home.

pretty sure walker never intended on playing with okc, and had the knicks in mind.

nobody buys out and then sign with a team asap.

Plus, look at all of the guards they have on OKC and they just opened up the checkbook for SGA.

This is why patience is a virtue. Knicks fans rioting yesterday acting like there was no plan for PG.

Yeah I’m probably with you as I think about it. Recency bias - Jackson had good moments in the playoffs and Walker was injured.

If Walker is healthy, he’s clearly the better player.

Anyone worried that OKC decided not to keep him around and try to rebuild his value or use him to get assets down the road, like they’ve done with a couple other recent bad contract guys? Or are they just doing him a solid?


We've built up good will with OKC and they likely save money with the contract we give him.

See this trade:

https://www.nba.com/news/report-76ers-acquire-george-hill-in-3-team-trade-with-thunder-knicks

We took on their junk into space, which is exactly what they wanted. And we just recently did a draft day trade with them.


We’re still not getting SGA though. :lol:
