He’s also mentioned how both Brunson and Towns are bottom five defensively at their positions. Call a spade a spade but it’s hard to build a contender around that kind of base.

Then you look at not controlling your own draft for 5 of the next 7 years…

It’s a really bad situation developing here with the Knicks.

At least RJ could score on his own and get in the paint and the free throw line and gave Boston problems. These dudes look pathetic and weak

When you're right, you're right. The kid plays with force and is a fierce competitor.

In my opinion, paying OG that massive contract was a bad move. Giving up five for Bridges was an overpay, and I would have absolutely done the KAT trade. However, if this is how he performs against top teams, we should consider creating a package for Giannis in the off-season that includes him.

I agree that you do the KAT trade 100 times out of 100.

And I understand the Anunoby logic.

It’s the Bridges trade that’s the killer.

If your rolling with Brunson/Towns/Anunoby with all your picks you have fun for a few years, remain optimistic in the marketplace, and when it get stale you rebuild.

But one thing about Leon Rose - he ALWAYS overpays.

“Why they always look better when playing the Knicks”

Knicks defense been cheeks all year. Most importantly the effeort is never there bc there’s no real coach to bench someone for no effort.

People tell me Thibs is a master game planner, that he spends more time than anyone devising strategy, and like, I don't see it. We play the exact same against every team, we don't do anything different depending on matchups

We have the personnel to compete with good teams, but the players need to be utilized right.
BaF Lakers:

Nikola Topic/Kasparas Jakucionis
VJ Edgecombe/Jrue Holiday
Shaedon Sharpe/Cedric Coward
Kyle Filipowski/Collin Murray-Boyles
