in throwing him out there in a few games, if it's so important to him. The Porzingis brothers all seem like royal pains in the ass though. He'd be wise to include one non-family member in his inner circle.
I can understand if KP being unhappy missing the season
The guy must be bored out of his skull by now. But it could be that Fiz thinks that having KP play will hamper the development of Knox who plays the same position. It could also mean that Fiz wants KP to play center rather than PF and he figures that he will need time to work on that position (just a guess on my part).

Knox and kp do not play the same position, knox will be a 3, kp is a 4/5
Offer Zinger and Lee for Jaylen brown, sac pick and Memphis pick. In the offseason offer New Orleans, hardaway, Frank and 3 first rounders including 2 lottery picks for Anthony Davis. Sign Durant and Bledsoe and go win a championship:
Bledsoe
Brown
Knox
Durant
Davis
Mudiay
Vonleh
Dotson
Robinson
Mid level
Vets and second rounders
have dolan make a deal with the NCAA and have porzingis rehab with Duke. He"ll be able to rehab and get some experience with his future teammate. Killing 2 birds with one stone
If the fucking guy said, wow, this is great, then you have a problem, a player wanting to play and not wait an entire year, at his age, is normal and should be looked at as a good thing. It is not up to him to be smart about this, it is up to the organization to be the smart ones, I am certain his doctors told him it would be okay, so this can not be easy for him, think about his age for a second and tell me what normal kid his age would be happy, a fucking dud may be happy, not a great athlete.

Knox is listed as a power forward. In the future, he may be a 3, but he is currently a 4.

He starts at the 3 though. Not that it matters anyways given the way Fizdale coaches.

maybe there's a trade out there where a team is willing to take on Hardaway or Lee if we include Vonleh. I would like to re-sign Vonleh if the money is right, but it really doesn't make much difference if he's our free agent or another team's free agent cap wise.

I posted the same thought in the game thread yesterday.
Even if it costs a 2nd too. Vonleh and a 2nd to get rid of Hardaway would be awesome by me.
he still needs to be more aggressive getting the ball. Too many possessions he just stands on the side. Still not sure if that is on him or the offense. I mean he took 22 shots today, but it just seems so often he doesnt touch the ball for stretches.

is a terrific ballplayer. Very fun to watch. I got NBA league pass this year so I could watch teams that are actually worth watching and not just the Knicks. He's such a treat to watch. 2nd round pick too and a star. Wish the knicks had luck like that.

yeah - he's great. His passing is the most amazing part of his game.
and the Knicks should seriously consider it. Knicks fear it would be a tight run to a top draft pick which they're correct but inpending free agents will want to know that KP is good and how they fit in with him and Knox. I say play him the last three to ten games.
Berman had some draft thoughts from Seth Greenberg today...
Speaking of freakish, the runaway hype on Williamson is getting to Greenberg. For a club in desperate need of a point guard such as the Knicks, Morant might turn out to be a sound addition.
Greenberg said of the 6-8 Williamson, I dont think hes a no-doubt-about-it.
This is not a good draft. It really isnt. In this draft, you probably do [take Zion No. 1]. Hes fun to watch, explosive and doing things we havent seen in a long time. But I grew up watching Dr. J. I dont get excited about dunks.
Greenberg listed his Zion concerns, saying, When does a guy like that not have a pull-up game? And he isnt an NBA 3-point shooter yet.
[Zion] has great passion and is Magic [Johnson]-esque in his personality. He competes on the defensive end and rebounds ferociously. But hes not going to walk in and take over. Is [Zion] going to fix the Knicks? I dont think so. Is he going to even do what Luca Doncic has done? I dont know.
On top of everyone? Or do we need to deal Lee to get to that space?
It depends on who it is. Durant can get a higher max than, Kemba, I think - for example. I think for KD, they'd need to move Lee or Hardaway. With Kemba, I think they can do it just by renouncing the FAs (including Zo, now) and waiving Lance.

And Hardaway likely costs draft picks (and more than a first rounder), which they aren't going to want to give up. So Lee is the weakest link who they'll try to move then, right?
So, they'll likely just wait to see if they can move Lee for nothing and worst case attach a second or two if they have to?
Dennis Smith Jr. trade rumors: Knicks and Mavs have discussed a Smith Jr. and Wes Matthews swap in exchange for Tim Hardaway, Jr. & Frank Ntilikina.
I have a hard time believing that this wouldn't cost a future protected first or a couple of seconds. Matthews is prob nearly as good if not better than THJ and is an expiring.
but from what I read and hear, this is a very thin draft, with a potentially big talent gap after Zion, Barrett and Morant. If true, I wouldn't want KP winning us a few extra games that take us to 4th or 5th. From recent articles on Morant, interest in Kyrie could fade a bit if the Knicks were to get him.

He is going to be rusty as hell, so I doubt Knicks win any more games

Thats cute, now wake up.
Kyrie seems upset, Hayward is a shell of himself, and Horford is washed.
Maybe Kyrie staying isn't as much of a lock as we thought it was.

I think Kyrie leaves. He seems unhappy, plus do they even want to pay him all that money?
Wow, what an end game lineup.

Any chance the Sixers go for that? How many picks would it take to sweeten that deal?

I don't think any team is willing to be on the hook for 2/38 for Hardaway going forward, unless it's a poorly managed team.

could be because Mudiay is in "get mine" mode.
