Line opened Knicks -11, now is Knicks +2
MIL: Giannis, Middleton, Holiday, Portis, Tucker OUT
NYN: Lots of GTD's and not sure how the lineup will go.
DO they match scrubs and give starters a rest??? I have no idea how to approach this game.
Knicks above .500 still by a game....I think we need to slam dunk this one with our bench and give some guys a rest.
Would love to see IQ, Burks, RJ run the point (though his TO's could hurt), Robinson and Taj getting the most playing time.
Randle needs a break...
GO Knicks!!!! GO RJ!!!

Seems like it was way closer than it should have been. Oh well a W is a W especially a game like this. Slowly but surely they are getting through the land mines in the 2nd half of the season and surviving it. Bummer about Mitch. You'd think they give Drummond a call but it sounds like that ship sailed on both sides.
Happy Passover Stu
Thanks!
You just typed antentounkounpos....so whatever your argument is....you win. Lol. But yes there is....the James family. Who names their kid after the 2nd syllable if their first name....TWICE?

Doesn’t clear waivers until tomorrow afternoon. I think the Knicks should offer him more dough this year. No multi year deal. What’s the number he doesn’t pass up for the Lakers?
Yeah that's a great question. I mean I'd consider even 3 years, 45 mil with 3rd year as a team option. If he plays well he's definitely a 15 Mil a year player, if he doesnt play well this season he's a 1 year 15 mil expiring that's easily tradable.
Even with that the Knicks will have a ton of cap space next offseason and that should help their flexibility re: Mitch
It's a win/win for the knicks and Drummond since he is able to come here and get more money plus get a big rile to also play for his next contract
I’m confused. Why am I seeing $7M for Drummond here being “far more than any other team can offer” and also seeing $15M per for 3 years ? How much is he worth?

somewhere in the $7M ballpark which is far more then any other team can offer, plus the starting job and use the rest of the season as a trial to see how he fits in next to Randle and the rest of the team.

The Knicks are the only team with capspace. So they can offer more than any other team.

Meh this also might just be a bad idea. Could be better off sticking with Dieng.

No other team can offer him anything more then the Vet minimum which is around $1M other then the Nets who are out on him after getting Aldridge.
Knicks have $15M in cap space so technically they can offer it all to him but i rather they split it and give half to him and half to another buyout player that might become available in the next 2 weeks

Mavs started a five game road trip with their loss to the Pels.
Fourth game of the trip will be at MSG on Friday.

Funny thing, I don't think there's any teams other than the Knicks that are going to have a ton of money going into free agency so... yea.
I want to be on the record and say I don't want him. I'd rather them look for a PG somewhere. Anywhere really, but we really need one.

Now Im confused......
Knicks just lost their starting Center and necer had one who could score regularly. But playing 3rd wheel to BroLon and AD is a better option than being immediately the low post option for the Knicks? What am I missing?

This! Dieng fits into Thibs style of play (he already did in Minnesota0. Drummond is not a fit w/Randle. They certainly need another bid,as Noel does incur injuries & Gibson is 35. Dieng is a perfect plug-in for the rest of the season,while Drummond is not. Sometimes the better talent is not the better fit & this is one of those times!

Curious why you think he is not a fit, it cant be because of spacing, because it is no different than Randle playing with Mitch..
Drummond adds another dimension offensively, defensively will be the question, if he is engaged he can be a very good defender
Probabky going to end up being Dieng if i had to guess
I hope once Rose is fully back he is the starter with Quick off the bench
I don't think Rose will be able to handle big minutes over an extended period of time. If you want to do that for the playoff run then by all means go for it. I just think you are asking for trouble doing that now.

Actually,it's a huge difference between Mitch & Drummond(and I like Drummond!). Mitch is a defensive presence that blocks shots, who is a garbage man offensively,with nothing run specifically for him. Drummond is an offensive center,not a shot blocker,who sets up in the same areas as Randle.Yes,Drummond is an excellent rebounder,but rebounds aren't a Knicks problem. Only way he's coming to the Knicks is if they make a monetary commitment & I,personally, don't see Drummond as the center on a Thibs coached team!

I doubt Teague is an option his defense is horrible.
It’s absolutely amazing that the Knicks are finally having a season hovering around .500 and now we are having the coaching staff/front office trying to get poached on a seemingly daily basis. This is the third time in the past week

Randle brings the ball up, does most of his work facing the basket, usually starting beyond the 3 point line (kind of infuriating honetly sometimes) and then the right elbow when he decides to post. Drummond may like the elbow too but its not as if that will be unavailable to him because Randle is so mobile.
The idea that Randle and Drummond are going to be wanting the same space is pretty out there. Im sure Randle would have no problem keeping his motion/flex game while Drummond took the post. Randle really only gets cooking when he is taking dudes off the dribble.

The University of Utah were interested in hiring Johnny Bryant as its HC but he withdrew his name from consideration to stay with the Knicks
Not surprising. Ring chasing.

I guess it depends on A.D and lebron's injuries.
I think they sign Teague and i think Cousins might not be a bad fit off the bench
Teague because he has played for Thibs before..
Cousins off the bench for 15 to 20 minutes a night wouldnt be terrible, give them a little more scoring off the bench
On a team with LeBron/AD, he might finally understand what it takes to be a winning player and actually try on defense and play smarter offensively. But I don’t think that would’ve happened on the Knicks.

Yup. I wanted no part of Drummond.

Teague & Cousins are both washed. And Boogie...I fear he still thinks he's the Boogie of old & could be a hindrance in the development of the young pups.

You do know Boogie was cut by the Rockets and has been out of basketball for a reason.
He is a culture killer and plays zero defense.
Teague has nothing left.
Sign to young players to sit at the end of the bench and learn.
