This way we may not have to part with significant assets as opposed to Miles Turner. Mitch (extended) and Knox should cut it.

Let’s think about it.

he's trash, but i thought that about most of the knicks before thibs, so maybe he can be serviceable on d

Payton signing as a third stringer when he was starting for us tells you all you need to know.

I think they would put Dennis on the bench as an offensive spark with Neismith, Romeo, and Kanter. After Kemba I think they realize the offense needs to go through Tatum and Brown.

Smart
Richardson
Brown
Tatum
Horford

Is pretty good as a small ball lineup

Dennis
Pritchard
Romeo
Neismith
Kanter

Is a quick run and gun bench. No defense but it can run a lot of other squads out the gym. Plus Dennis can show off and try to earn a bigger contract

No way to Lauri. You need defense from your bigs. Especially with Walker and Fournier in the SL.

Nah, Eastern teams are still bums. Nets is not a stable project and they are injury-prone physically and more importantly mentally.

Sixers are falling apart. And their biggest star is injury-prone. And they have Doc who is a bum.

Bulls are hyped for nothing. They are bunch of third fiddles. Not even second fiddles.

I actually think Heat are the biggest challenge to Bucks and Nets. But they also have bunch of old farts, that have never been more than a second fiddle before.

Bucks are a good team but they are not beating healthy Nets or Lakers. Or Clippers. Or even Denver or Warriors.

Where does the notion that Walker doesn't play defense come from? He might get outsized from time to time but he puts effort in and will make defensive plays. Kemba was tied for the league lead in charges drawn last season. He will be more than fine in a defensive oriented system.

This is much more about Lauri than Walker. You want some sort of line behind him or the things they can do well get outweighed by the things they don't.

I don't care about Markkanen, he isn't coming here. I do keep seeing these jabs about Kemba's defense though that don't make sense if you watch him play.

Beat me to it. I’m not sure we’re going to see another 2010 or 2019 again. At least not for a loooooong while.

Imagine signing with the nets for the rest of your career. What a **** scrub

I wanted no part of him ever as a Knick but I thought he'd at least leave via free agency and go somewhere else.... Smh

Kemba's knee is arthritic? Is that his issue? If so expect him to back up Rose about 15 minutes a game.

McBride gets the rest I reckon.
