NFT: Knicks/ NBA Talk 3/14

bullshit offense is a metaphor for life and a path to transformational leadership and all that other nonsense he babbles about. And when he ultimately leaves here, he will be quick to blame his failures on Dolan or on young players not having the fundamentals to execute the concepts in his offense or whatever excuses he can come up with. And there might even be people who believe his excuses. But it's all bullshit.

That shouldn't be relevant as knicks shouldn't be going that way ... but if Phil is around and they can't draft a pg- it wouldn't be surprising

Nets rumored to love hill- can't see hill signing up to lose 55 games for a year

Also it wouldn't make sense for the Jazz to give up a first to get hill for a year, even if it was a back end first. Letting hill walk doesn't make sense if they want to keep Hayward. Aside from injuries, he's played as well as they could've hoped. Haven't had a PG anywhere near his caliber since D will got traded.

I just don't know how Mozgov can be classified as a "better" player than zubac, black, Randle or Nance. Same thing with Deng vs Ingram. Young is honestly the hilarious one. The hilarity of the Lakers benching those guys comes from their contracts and expected desperation for signing Paul george in 2 years. They're are going to likely have to part with one of Clarkson, Russell or Randle, and possibly a pick to make requisite cap room to go after PG.

I was just playing around...no offense intended.

But Melo would fit beautifully next to Gobert at the 4 spot. He's exactly what they'd need. A move like that would put Utah on par with Houston IMO.

as long as they commit to it and stop going back and forth, and they commit to a long term plan. tired of the quick fixes that never work..

Tyree i said i wiuld never just give away melo but at this point if melo is on this team next year i will be pissed, unless he commits to being the 2nd or 3rd option to kp and this years draft pick. that will never happen so ahip him off, i dont care for what

Pelicans are a little too close for comfort in the tank race.

The Kings will finish comfortably worse than the Knicks.

I can't believe I'm saying this but the Kings asset cupboard may not look all that bare. I think Hield has a hard ceiling but he's certainly a player. Maybe a 15 ppg that gives you spacing and potentially decent/good defense.

WCS didn't turn out all that bad offensively. Finds ways to get baskets, makes some nice passes too.

Skal might be the most intriguing of the Kings guys. He's extremely productive when he gets in and already seems to be an impact defensive player (from what I read, don't watch much Kings ball, shoot me). With some size he can be a KP-lite of sorts.

Then 2 top 10 picks. Hypothetically add Tatum/Fox to the mix. There's also the Greek center they took in the first this year.

Those are 5-6 guys as a Kings fan you can have real hope of becoming good basketball players. I don't know if I take that group over the Lakers group (if they keep their pick), but it's not as bad as say the Magic. I think I'd rather be a Kings fan as opposed to say the hornets or the Bulls to be completely honest.
