NFT: Knicks vs. Spurs

robbieballs2003 : 3/2/2021 12:28 pm
Game is at 8:30 p.m. tonight. I don't see any news on Payton as of yet. We are still currently in sole possession of 4th place in the east. Winning this game would go a long way in the standings with one more game against Detroit remaining. Being up 3 games over .500 is better than 1 game (no shit). The east is not the west by any stretch but the east is a really tight race right now.

Pelicans aren't doing that deal.

I just listened to that Windhorst podcast. He's the king of this and I hate when reporters tease out a tidbit like he did - " a star player will force his way to the Knicks in the next 12 months."

Just come out and say what you are hearing or don't drop that. With that said, who do you think he is referring to?

Macri thought it was KAT. Someone else mentioned Booker. I think it's probably KAT...

Fair point. I think the real value is in the picks. But Obi could be a trade piece.

they would want more picks...which I'd probably pay. But I'd want some sorta protection in the event both our pick and the Dallas pick end up in the top 3 this year. So if that were to happen, they only get one.

I like this Jazz team. Even though they have the best record in the league, it feels like a lot of people aren't buying them as a legit championship contender. I disagree. They got a lot of firepower & very stout defensively.

They are very good. I just have a difficult time believing they could beat a motivated Lakers team 4 times in a playoff situation. Or the Nets for that matter if they meet in the finals

Rose didnt play last game against SA....and we got embarrassed. I gotta think Frank sits down and Rose gets his run against a Detroit team that has some injury/health issues.

I still want to see more IQ out there, and less Rose if we have a run at the playoffs.
Towns seems done with Minnesota

You know Wes is in his ear..

Italianju : 3/4/2021 8:09 am : link
id be down to see Frank take Bullock's minutes. Looks like he is just as good of a shooter and his D is just as good.

Id also be fine if Frank took Payton's minutes. Payton is better at getting to the hoop but we need shooters and Frank is at least better then payton.

I said this recently but doesnt towns and Randle seem like an awful fit. We are going to have to give up the farm for Towns and im not sure he is worth it. He is a good player, but im not sure he is great and the fit seems awful. Im sure id be in the minority but id 100% take lavine over towns even if the cost was close.

I think Towns and Randle tandem can work offensively, think about how wide open the paint would be for Barrett driving to the hoop..defensively would be the question..

Frank will never replace Payton, Thibs likes his point guards to drive to the hoop, he likes guys who can get into the lane..

Frank over Bullock i am starting to lean that way if Frank keeps shooting the way he is
KAT and Julius  
Jon in NYC : 3/4/2021 9:00 am : link
at the 5 and 4 would be a lot of fun. Two 5 APG guys who shoot 40% from 3 yet somehow are also awesome rebounders. Would definitely need a Noel type shotblocker behind them getting probably 25 MPG but that has to be the most dynamic frontcourt in basketball.
Towns  
TyreeHelmet : 3/4/2021 9:05 am : link
He's really soft, doesn't care about defense and hasn't lifted his teams on the pro level.

With that said, he's one of the most talented offensive bigs to come around in a while.

I do worry about the fit with Randle and building your team around 2 bigs. But if you have a chance to get a center of that caliber, you have to do it. Just look at what Embiid is doing.

This is how i feel about Towns as well and its crazy he was a really good defender in college his 1 year.

the 1sts really dont bother me, you would still have a 21 1st and 23 1st..

Plus you would have 2 stars with room to add a 3rd

I think that’s a fair trade. But the question is do you want to use all your ammo on KAT or save it for another star. There’s also a ton of questions about Towns even as talented as he is.

Good thing is Leon Rose and Thibs know Towns well and also know the market well and who will be possibly be on the move.

I hope the don’t  
steve in ky : 3/4/2021 9:50 am : link
Mortgage the future for KAT.

Stick with Robinson and build through the draft, keep assets unless they can be used for obtaining a great pg or shooting guard.

That was great, thanks for posting. I am one of the few fans that actually liked him last season so I’m really loving what Randle is doing. My daughter and I watch every game together and he has become our favorite Knick.
