You know the networks had to be upset when it came to the Knicks' second half of the 2020-2021 season with Dolan getting all the viewers, and them only getting games against the Mavs, Pelicans, and Clippers. :lol:

If you don't use the Room Exception you lose it. So it may free up some additional cap if the Taj deal wasn't for the minimum. I 99.9% sure that 2nd year is a full team option. Otherwise it would make no sense.

You could give the Room Exception to Vildoza or some other undrafted player during the season.

Everybody worried about Kemba playing so much. There is a guy named Derrick rose also on the team who is thibs favorite player. No way he lets him sit long.

If he could play payton 19 minutes a game I don’t see why 24-29 is hard to fathom for Kemba. That’s not bad numbers and sit out here and there

That is true but vildoza hasn't even proven to be an NBA player yet alone to get a raise. It may have been to do Taj agent a solid. Who also happens to be Bradley Beals agent.

I think the plan will be to not play Kemba and Rose in back-to-back games. Kemba plays the first and Rose the second.

Will anyone be surprised when Thibs plays BOTH of them to close out games?

this kemba/rose rotation is probably the best thing for both of them. feels like the FO hacked thibs's habits with roster structure this year. wouldn't be surprised by longer rotations

Damn thats scary. Hopefully he didn't get any sensitive info from us..

I think we’re safe. Just saw Howard Mass post this
RealGM Users and Viewers,

Overnight, an individual seemingly located in Russia was able to guess a password of an admin. They were spotted and stopped by RealGM's host administrator in minutes. Then we did a survey of everything and performed maintenance with the boards offline (the boards are entirely separate in database and hosting from any other area of RealGM). Nobody's accounts were accessed but this one, and the person did not get any backend access to RealGM's systems so it was not a hack in that way. The person basically logged in like a user (the admin user) would from their computer and played around. They sent a mass email that many received, announcing their feat, and then changed some names of the forums (not usernames), etc., powers that are given to admins but that don't involve deeper access -- essentially the person did some criminal mischief. We restored everything to the most recent backup so some topics and posts are missing. We've made changes on the one user account they accessed so that it has a new password. Pardon the inconvenience and thank you for reading.

Okay, well that's the room MLE accounted for.


Strange.

Taj demanded more money or he accepted to be a filler in a future trade.


Maybe he thought "if DRose and Kemba can squeeze out every little available then why can't I?"

Really weird tbh, unless it's just Thibs looking after one of his boys properly.

I agree with Richard here. No need to use the Room exception right away. Or you could use it on Vildoza, Rokas or any other player unsigned player.

The original deal was for the vet min. That would have meant a salary of $2.7m, but a cap hit of only $1.7m.
