In the first 4:30 we see Hezonja run away from his man, team D leaves Reddick open for 3 while chasing Simmons outside, and also a sweet moment with 4 defenders back but STILL leave someone open on the opposite side for the easy layup like a fast break
I don't know when defense 101 stopped teaching "stop the ball first" regardless of whether it's your man or not. But I guess only a handful of teams manage solid D these days
Maybe he's regressing but to my eye he's put minimal effort on the floor since becoming a Knick. Looks like Kanter watching guys shoot over him, hand down & ignoring help vs anticipating ball movement & attacking the ball and shooter
W/ LAC even this year he was his usual high motor self the games I saw
But if you’re paying attention, you can see some piecesoossibly falling into place. I’m an admitted optimist. But I really like Jordan and his presence.

Would also be a great fit, but unless he's willing to take a huge paycut, he isn't going to stick around.

Even if he could play on the MLE with Durant, Kyrie, and Zion?

Hey may chose to do that. But that's a 13 mil paycut for him.
On the flipside, who is about to give him a big deal at 30?

you would think it has been discussed with him, otherwise why keep him and play him? seems like if he was not a part of the future it would be better to let him go
I get what you are saying but who else is going to play center? Robinson has shown he cannot handle heavy minutes. So, I think he is here because we need someone to play center and to help mentor Robinson. I think those are the main reasons. Anything after that is nice and may have been discussed but I doubt it at this point in time. That is something that probably happens after he shows his worth toward the end of the year. If he is part of the team next year then great. If not, it didn't hurt anybody on this team by taking minutes away.

kornet and robinson cant handle the minutes?
and you dont think jordan wants to play for a winning team?

Robinson has proven he cannot. He gets gassed quickly. He has also prove to be very foul prone. Him and Kornet really aren't enough alone.
What does Jordan wanting to play for another team have to do with anything? He is under contract with the Knicks. The Knicks only obligation is to do what is in the best interest of the Knicks. Jordan seems lke a great dude and it is obvious why he is still here.

If jordan said i would like a buyout you dont thin the knicks would oblige?

Maybe, maybe not. Jordan doesn't seem like that type of player. We also have many more options at the 2/3 positions that Matthews was expendable. Kanter was a different animal. Again, the Knicks have been very vocal why Jordan is here.
that there's a good chance dep's favorite player-Jimmy Buckets-leaves Philly this summer.
I would be shocked if he didn't. Harris is a better, low maintenance fit with the somewhat selfish Embiid. Jimmy talks a good game, but he wants the ball even more than he cares about a winning situation. I saw someone talking about him and the Lakers last week.

Dot on fire. 11 in the 1st
He heard you and missed that open tre...
.512 eFG% over his two years... FT shooting could be better.
He heard you - what a dunk Knox
(tho I agree w/ you. And he goes to the bench w/ 3 fouls)
FTs 24 for PHI vs. 8 for the NYK...
Would also be a great fit, but unless he's willing to take a huge paycut, he isn't going to stick around.

Beginning in 2013, Jordan ranked second, third, second, sixth in number of blocks per year. Since then, nowhere.
He's not the guy people remember.

he cant guard everyone, what do you want him to do?
he has to guard his man and help on everything
kornet and robinson cant handle the minutes?
and you dont think jordan wants to play for a winning team?

If he were helping the way he did in his prime, he'd be contesting/blocking a lot more shots.
I don't mean to be gratuitous or single him out unnecessarily but the talk about bringing him back is based on the name on the uniform.

no it is not, people said the same thing about tyson chandler, oh whybis he not helping more oh why is he not doing this...
If the guards could keep their men out of the paint hr wouldnt look as bad, he can not go and contest eveything...
the job of the center is not just to block shots..
Mitchell Robinson blocks everything but he is a horrible defender, id much rather deandre back there than robinson when the team is good

17 straight on the down side. They can manage by themselves lol
I just like the consistent fight and generally decent effort. All season
I would be shocked if he didn't. Harris is a better, low maintenance fit with the somewhat selfish Embiid. Jimmy talks a good game, but he wants the ball even more than he cares about a winning situation. I saw someone talking about him and the Lakers last week.
I could see him as a Net.
